For the sake of the gospel

Why are you a Christ follower? Do you have a clear, concise answer that you can adapt to meet folks where they are? If not, may this week’s lessons give you some ideas, some courage, and some confidence that you can share the good news at any age and stage of life.

In Need of Healing & in Need of Jesus
RCL Reflection, 5th Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year B, Feb. 4, 2018
This week’s Old Testament lesson and gospel lesson remind us that we all stand in need of healing, renewal, and rest, and that the source of that rest is God. Even Jesus knew to recharge his batteries in prayer and time apart. (Photo: Hernan Pinera, Creative Commons)
