Life is not meant to be lived alone but in community together. Church is for everyone who wants to live a communal life. But how many churches exclude people that are different, judge people they don't even know and fail to acknowledge that life can be hard?
Our focus this Sunday is to become one with the heartbreak of God, to be reminded not only of the risk of feeling the deep sorrow of life, but the greater risk of not feeling that sorrow. God hard-wired us for the work of compassion. The word "religion" literally means "to bind together". Who do you know that is broken hearted and in need of compassion? Are you willing to let your heart break for them enough to risk binding them to yourself and our church? And are you willing to be real and share your times of sorrow with your church family? Let's come together this Sunday, October 20, and get real with each other and God.
You can watch our live broadcast at 10:45am (CST) this Sunday.
Rev Sandy, Pastor
