From Ugliness, a Beauty Emerges

Deuteronomy 7:1-11 & Matthew 15:21-39 by Rev. Susan Lukey

Based on Chapter 11 of "We Make the Road by Walking" by Brian D. McLaren the sermon takes on the most difficult stories in the Bible such as the ones asking God to bash babies against the rocks or the ones about God commanding entire nations to be wiped out.. We consider that the Bible is a conversation that we are listening in on. As we engage the conversation, we are able to evolve our thinking and deepen our faith, challenging beliefs that get in the way of us living and loving as God's people. McLaren's book is the basis for our worship and community life for the coming year at High River United. There is one four-page chapter provided for each week’s reflection. We invite you to follow along in your own copy of this book. “We Make the Road by Walking” by Brian D. McLaren (Jericho Books 2014) ISBN: 978-1-4555-1401-4
