Worship This Week
Sunday, September 23, 2018
18th Sunday after Pentecost
All of us probably remember that one teacher in school--the one we were afraid to ask if we needed help or if we didn't understand something. There were all kinds of reasons for our fear: our insecurity about algebra, the teacher's personality, our classmates who might think we were dumb if we asked (they probably wanted to know, too). I know who my teacher was. You probably remember yours, too. This week, we'll read Mark 9:30-37 and hear about a time the disciples were afraid to ask Jesus some questions. They had a perfectly good reason to be afraid, not because Jesus was a task master, but because they hadn't been paying attention. Some of us could list that as a reason in fourth grade, too. The sermon is called, "Afraid to Ask?" and will help us identify areas in our lives that might lead to the same kind of fear the disciples experienced.
I look forward to worshiping with you this week
