...For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you. (Luke 17:21)
A few verses before our focus scripture, Jesus healed 10 lepers in a border town between Samaria and Galilee. Only one of those healed, a “foreigner” Samaritan, returned to thank and praise him. The Samaritan’s faith, Jesus points out, is what has healed him. In the immediate aftermath, our text begins. Were the Pharisees witnesses of this encounter? Were the Pharisees part of the crowds that followed Jesus, sympathizers like Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus? Or, were the Pharisees natives of this border town, come to question Jesus? The scripture doesn’t say, but Jesus does not seem hostile to them or to their question. It’s a fair one, after all. In Jesus’ time there were many competing theories about the Kingdom of Heaven and how it would be realized on earth. But rather than speak of particular signs of the Kingdom’s advent, Jesus plainly says: “the kingdom of God is among you.” Judging by the apocalyptic teaching about the Son of Man which follows our text, Jesus is likely referring to himself as the advent of the Kingdom of God in the world.

News and A Look At What's Coming Up |

Being Grounded Allows Broadway to Move Forward
Dear friends,
Several weeks ago, I wrote about our being in a liminal space. Liminal space is the space between what is and what will happen next. It is the space we occupy (physically, emotionally, spiritually) during a period of transition. With this came a recommendation that we check in with one another, to listen with our hearts, to seek understanding while we own the unknowing and accompanying scary, uncomfortable feelings. My prayer continues to be that this liminal space will be transformative and valuable - that this time will provide the building up of strength and partnership as we MOVE FORWARD - that we are evolving, growing, and developing a mindset that “all things are possible”.

Five volunteers from Broadway joined with many others to help the City of Refuge as they adapt to their new location. Furniture was removed from the building that will house their preschool. Then the carpet and tile flooring was removed. Shelving was added and storage reorganized for the Boutique and Basic Needs. The shed was cleared, reorganized and ramp added. The landscaping was improved with weeding, mulching and clearing of some bushes. It was a very full and well-organized day, with the opportunity to meet so many from other churches working hard to make a difference in our community. |
