Mark 9:38-50, Numbers 11:4-6, 10-16, 24-29 | Whether we like it or not, we tend to be creatures of habit. As humans, we find one way of doing something that works and we stick with it. But then how do we respond when God shows up unexpectedly? Or, not as we envisioned? We believe that God first appeared in Jesus—in the most unexpected place—to unsuspecting people. But time and time again, God’s Kingdom shows up to us in ways we might not have imagined. Join us for worship as we hear the story of Moses and the Israelites and Jesus and his disciples, and are challenged to throw away those things that keep us from embracing where and how God’s kingdom does show up.
