Mission u 2022 theme:
Who can We Be Together? A biblical Exploration of Luke 13
We find ourselves in a period of incredible disruption and uncertainty. In the midst of a devastating pandemic, a divisive political climate and economic turmoil, we are turning to stories of Jesus that have anchored Christian communities in challenging times for over two millennia. This study will focus on the Luke 13:12 story of the woman seeking healing and the Luke 13:18-21 parables that Jesus likens the kingdom to a mustard seed and yeast. At the end of this study it is hoped that participants will leave with a bigger and broader vision of the kind of community Christ is calling us to be in times of loss, grief and massive disruption. What would be possible if we tend to the needs of our communities in small and often disruptive ways as Jesus did in Luke 13? May we do so with the faith that a multitude of small actions, like seeds, can activate a community’s healing and renewal.
