The world ought to make sense. Right?!

Some things just seem to matter.  To everyone.  Things like beauty.  Or community.  Or justice.

We long for these things.  We crave them.  We have this intuition that they’re important and good and right.  Yet all too often they seem to lay beyond our reach.

What do we make of this?  Is it all a cruel joke?  Mere fantasy?  Or are these things actually signs — signs pointing to a greater meaning in the world?

In this week's sermon, we dive into the question what does it look like when Jesus is on the move? As Jesus brings transformation, what should we expect to see? Our second sign of renewal is, “justice.”  We all feel the “wrongness” of our world. We long to see things set right. That’s exactly what God is doing in Christ Jesus. The church is called to participate in God’s justice- bringing justice to the marginalized and oppressed. To join God is His renewing work, we will seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

This week's spiritual practice is lament.


“Signposts name a reality and point us in a direction.  Likewise, these … signposts name realities that all human cultures value as well as pointing beyond themselves to the meaning of life, to the meaning of the world.  They indicate, in fact, how we ought to ‘make sense’ of the world — how we ought to understand the way the world is and the challenge of being human within it.  The fact that we care about them and are puzzled by them is itself telling us something about the deep ‘sense’ of the world.” — Tom Wright
