14th Sunday After Pentecost

Another week full of identity questions - God reveals Godself in a burning bush and Jesus describes what the Messiah is here to do. In each story, God reminds us that God shows up in places of suffering and promises this will not be our full story. As Paul reminds us we are called to be patient in suffering, to celebrate with those who celebrate and weep with those who weep. In worship, we are renewed and fortified with all that we need so that we can show up in these challenging places too.  Accompanying Scripture: Exodus 3:1-15 ; Romans 12: 9-21; Matthew 16:21-28
