We continue with the challenge of Self Denial.
Last week we opened Jeremiah 19, a Bible text that portrays us as clay. But rather than crafting a nice clay jar, the scripture suggested God was going to smash a clay jar.
Why?
Because God holds good people who do nothing accountable for the death of the innocent.
It was a tough, tough piece of Scripture.
During the sermon people were given clay and invited to express how they might respond to the challenge of injustice in our world.
Perhaps the tears on the cheek say it all…
May we continue to experience God’s heart of love for the poorly treated of our world.
We will be collecting Self Denial monies from next Sunday, July 23.
