What's Behind Us

This is Not the End

We live in a world shaped by choices other people have made. We live in an inheritance that seems pretty broken most of the time. It's easy to feel trapped by what's been chosen for us. But God gave Ezekiel a message for the Israelite Exiles that we need to hear too. God says that we are responsible to choose God here and now, in our time. That we will be held accountable not for what others have done to us but what we choose. What's behind us doesn't define us.

During this series, we’ve been exploring the three temptations using Dostoyevsky’s “The Grand Inquisitor”.

This Sunday, we’re going to switch things up. I’m going to share some of my own fiction that I’ve used to reflect on the nature of Jesus third test.

What did it mean that Satan told Jesus to worship him? How could Satan offer up the kingdoms of the world?

Questions to consider… until we gather on Sunday. See you then!

 

Join us Sunday as we explore what it takes to rule the world – and why we should fail that test.
