Thinking “We”
Thinking “We”
In this week’s Gospel reading when Jesus visited his hometown and attended synagogue on Sabbath day—yes, Jesus went to church—he was asked to read from the scroll of the Prophet Isaiah. After reading from chapter 61:1-2 and applying it to himself, the other members were thrilled because they saw themselves, under Roman rule, as the oppressed. Finally, some good news for us. Maybe now they’ll get their comeuppance.
Then the mood radically changed to the point that they tried to throw him off a cliff.
Why? He followed up with two stories that rocked their us/them paradigm.
God thinks “we”...and has since the beginning.
See you Sunday.

Small Group Survey
Redeemer Family,
As we continue to navigate our way carefully through the challenges of life in the Covid era, we are committed to nurturing our fellowship together, which is both our gift and our responsibility. To that end, we are excited to initiate small group ministry during the 8 weeks of Lent beginning in March. We recently created a two-minute survey to gauge your interest in gathering together in a home-based or virtual small group. I encourage you to respond as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly.
Much Shalom,
Steve E+
