Seeing your Life through the Lens of the Gospel
- This is the Sunday of the Word of God, the word that gives life. The written word of God is not always easy to understand. What has helped you to be more at home with the Bible so that you could find in it encouragement, hope, inspiration, meaning and purpose in life?
- The message Jesus had was one of liberation and he told his listeners that it was being fulfilled even as they listened. It is also being fulfilled even as we hear it NOW. If this does not resonate with you right now, when has the gospel given you an experience of liberation?
