Worship Series: The Great Reversal
Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus has a way of upending expectations and turning world views upside down.
In the kingdom of God, Jesus proclaims that the poor are blessed, and the wealthy are warned “the last will be first” and the tax collector gets in before the preacher.
Again and again, Jesus invites us to consider the least in this world – perhaps even in ourselves – and to discover God there. Join us this Lenten season as we consider God’s Great Reversal.
