Worship Series: "We Are Witnesses"
from umcdiscipleship.org
The season after Easter is where we consider what it means to walk with Jesus into eternity. But
it is not about life after death, or rather not only about life after death. It is very much about
life before death, life in the face of death. It is about life and about bearing witness to a life
that resembles a kin-dom existence right here and right now. It is this life, this justice and
righteousness, this hope and this glory to which we can say with confidence, “We are witnesses.”
This Week's Theme: "Disturbing the City"
Liturgical Resources
“Good trouble” is a phrase that has grown in the consciousness of the nation. Representative John
Lewis, a towering figure for civil rights, coined the phrase; and more than that, he lived it. Our
text for this week says there are wrongs that need righted. But maybe it isn’t quite that clear.
