• Today’s scripture speaks of a year of jubilee, a time every 50 years for a complete reset and

restore. How can we work for a jubilee for this nation—a time to stop trying to make things

work that are broken at the core and, instead, reset and restore so that all may thrive?

• We’re in a moment of sacred space between the divine and human, between divine promise and human possibility, between heaven and earth, between what can be and what is. Can we make democracy real? Can the news of freedom, though late, be true? Can we laugh like Sarah at the promises of God and give birth to our hope in every generation?

Jacqui Lewis, preacher
