19th Sunday after Pentecost

We place our hope in the powerful, but Christ places power in the hopeful. (Luke 18:1-8; 2 Tim 3:14-17)

As you listen to the sermon, here are some questions you can reflect on to deepen your spiritual connection with God:

1) When have you seen scripture used for purposes other than naming how we are to relate to others and trust in Christ? How does that square with what scripture says its use is?

2) When has learning the context of a comment or action changed your understanding of what happened?

3) When have you found hope in the persistence of seemingly insignificant people?

4) How can you give someone else hope for the reality of God’s justice now?
