   Called to Faith, Gathered in Love

   Sent with Hope – ecclesia!

Psalm 102:18-28

     18    Let this be recorded for a generation to come,

                   so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:

     19    that he looked down from his holy height;

                   from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,

     20    to hear the groans of the prisoners,

                   to set free those who were doomed to die,

     21    that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,

                  and in Jerusalem his praise,

     22    when peoples gather together,

                  and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

     23    He has broken my strength in midcourse;

                  he has shortened my days.

     24    “O my God,” I say, “take me not away

                  in the midst of my days-

             you whose years endure

                  throughout all generations!”

     25    Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,

                  and the heavens are the work of your hands.

     26    They will perish, but you will remain;

                  they will all wear out like a garment.

             You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

     27         but you are the same, and your years have no end.

     28    The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

                   their offspring shall be established before you.

The Kingdom of Jesus: A Study in Luke’s Gospel (#23)

Luke 6:17-26

Jesus begins his sermon on the nature of his kingdom ministry with some counterintuitive blessings and curses. What’s this all about, and how does this apply to us today? We’ll talk about that as we continue our study of Luke’s gospel during this Easter season.
