How Dare You?!
About what do you feel indignant?
Granted, the list of issues and situations about which to feel angry right now is not short:
…No. You don’t need an enumerated list. You know there is a seemingly endless array of injustices in the world worthy of your indignation.
Our textual guides this week are the ending of the book of Jonah and a parable from the Gospel of Matthew. While certainly very different kinds of stories (are they though?), both texts offer examples of people who are Flat. Out. Mad.
Why? What transpired that has them so incensed? The answers may surprise us.
But those answers can also be a catalyst for introspection. And introspection can be a catalyst for change.
So what can we learn from these stories? How might they help us to expand the loving network of God’s Kin-dom? Can our anger be fruitful? Or are we all just screaming into the void?
Pastor Dave will wrestle with these questions and more this Sunday, September 20th, in his sermon, “How Dare You?!”
Worship with us Sunday at 10:00AM on our Woodridge UMC channel on YouTube.
