QUESTIONS FOR OUR JOURNEY WITH JESUS.
What catches your attention about how Jesus engages with people? How would you desribe Jesus’ use of power?
What transformation happens when we are companions with Jesus?
What do people recognize in us that reflects our journey with Jesus?
Fourth Sundays, Worship in Action, are an invitation to live and worship with imagination and hope, providing a way for us to come alongside our neighbors in South Lake Union, in our individual neighborhoods, and beyond. They are ever-expansive, and we hope that you can live into worship in action holistically, as a whole person, loving God and neighbor as yourself every day of the week.
“Jesus never told the world to GO to church; he told the church to go to the world.”

21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. 22 They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. 23 Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, 24 and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, “What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He[a] commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.Description text goes here
