The sermon is rooted in a recurring frustration that we so often hear hopeful words from people we cheer on, only to be disappointed. Again. Nathaniel in our preaching text gets word that Jesus is in town and his response is to shrug and disbelieve. He's beend dreaming of days to come when his life will matter, when the government that has been oppressing his people will be vanquished, when his hope will be more than political speeches by people who already know power. Nathaniel is done with the hype. Maybe you are, too. And then, Jesus finds us. Our sermon series "Walking in Light" continues. #WalkinginLight #hope #justice #blacklivesmatter #equity
