Responding to Quicksand (9 AM)

    We read in the 21st chapter of 2 Samuel about Rizpah, who must have felt like she was sinking in quicksand after her sons were slain. Previously invisible to those in power, her public display of grief and care prompted action. Join us as we consider the struggle of people on society's margins and how we might respond when we encounter someone sinking in the quicksand of life.

     Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. Living in the midst of a pandemic, most of us know this feeling all too well.Our tightly-knit plans unravel and we’re left with only loose threads. What do we become when our identity or the path we’re on comes undone?

    But what if our fears don’t become our reality? Is it possible that in our unraveling, we might come face-to-face with unexpected hope, joy and love; a new beginning we couldn’t ever have imagined? Sometimes we need God to unravel us, for we need or even long to be changed.

    This Easter season, we will explore biblical accounts of unraveled shame, identity, fear, grief, dreams, and expectations. Together, we’ll see that God can meet us in our spiraling, unraveling our plans—and us—into something new.
