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.
