October 23, 2016, The Rev. Doyt L. Conn, Jr. preaching
Life in the kingdom of God is not a one-time event, it is a process. It is not a closed system that we figure out and master, like the Pharisee seeks to do; it is an open system that we step back into again and again and again.
God will create a space of safety for God’s people to pursue relationship with God and with one another. God will create a shelter which allows us to let our guard down, to be vulnerable, and thereby to discover new strengths in ourselves and new connections to those around us.
