Worship Series: "Truth Telling"
from www.umcdiscipleship.org

Truth! Sometimes we hear a word that makes us stop what we’re doing and reflect on our actions or words. Sometimes we hear a word that cuts through our rationalizations and pride and demands a reset on our whole lives. Spending time with Jesus can do that. He manages to speak truth in powerful ways. But we often are overfamiliar with the words or the stories that we don’t listen deeply enough to hear the power. So, let us end liturgical Year B by engaging in some Truth Telling with Jesus in the gospels. It is a word we, the church, and the world need to hear.

This Service's Theme: Do Not Be Alarmed
Worship Planning Notes

Remember, Jesus didn’t attempt to make the evil of the world and the goodness of God make sense. Instead, Jesus proclaimed the goodness and love of God in the face of the terrible things we humans do to one another and creation. May our worship—our prayers, our creeds, our proclamation, and our blessings—do the same.
