July 7 – Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 | Mark 6:1-13
Jesus’ hometown crowd didn’t think much of him – they said he was behaving way above his station. Why weren’t they happy a local had made good? Human nature is like that, when people we know change, we don’t hesitate to remind them of the foibles of their past as if their changing is offensive to us. But God’s story is one of transformation. God desires authentic change. This week, we are challenged to consider our call, as individuals and as a church; who accompanies us and whom do we accompany; how and whom do we reject. How might inclusivity be encouraged as we take our place in the accomplishment of God’s vision of mercy, justice, and peace?
We will share in communion this morning.
