This Week in Worship

This year, we’re letting the Gospel of Luke guide us through Lent. Beginning with Jesus setting his face toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:51), this worship series flows through several familiar stories—the Good Samaritan, Mary and Martha, the fruitless fig tree, the Lost Sheep, Zacchaeus, and more. As we study these familiar scriptures, we will see how Jesus’ ministry disrupted the established social, political, and religious divides of his time. Jesus intentionally pointed out cultural and political extremes to emphasize the radical, inclusive, and surprising love of God. When we study these stories in their historical and cultural context, we can see how they mirror the divisions many of us experience in our families, churches, and communities today.

Our Lent theme, Everything In Between, invites us to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Each week, we will explore two supposed binaries – ideas we often consider to be opposing. Through the scriptures, we will find more nuance and complexity. We find that these dichotomies are false. We might begin to see a full spectrum instead of black and white. We might find that God is present in between.  

And so, this season, we invite you to look beyond black and white binaries and easy answers. We encourage you to notice the dichotomies that define our lives, but also imagine where God might be meeting us beyond the categories we create. This Lent, we’re trusting that God shows up in shades of gray, rainbow hues, and everywhere in between.
