“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my [Abba’s] house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.”
~John 14:1-3
 
Trouble and togetherness. Belief and belonging. We are never promised that things will go easy for us. Indeed, if things are too easy, we may need to check our privilege, to scrutinize what we may have done to ensure our safety and security at the expense of others.
 
But in the context of a troubled time, John’s gospel reaches out again and again to remind not only those early disciples, but us as well that we are in this together, and God is with us in the midst. Even locked doors and hearts cannot keep our Abba at bay!
 
This Sunday is one that so easily invites us to remember and re-member this truth. Our siblings with Bridge Ministry join us Sunday as we gather around food and fellowship, wonder and worship—a perfect elixir for any troubled heart.
 
In order to accommodate our Bridge Ministry community siblings, this Sunday only, worship begins at 11:00am. Join us. There is a place for you here.
 
Enter into worship.
 
Readings: Acts 7:55-60 † Psalm 31 † 1 Peter 2:2-10 † John 14:1-14
