What does it take to hope? As we look more closely into this text, let’s wonder and think together of what it takes to move from hopelessness to healing? In today’s sermon, a point was made that even when we cannot reach for Jesus’ garment, Jesus still reaches us. I invited you to go outside in the evening and marvel at the star-laden sky. It is then when we worshipfully realize our first sermon point, that our identity is in Christ.
Mediate on these lyrics from our offertory, O MASTER, LET ME WALK WITH THEE.
Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear winning word of love….
Clear, winning words of love are our second sermon point, Psalm 147:3. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
