Is it blessed or blessed? I never know how to say it...Let's figure it out today.

For three weeks we’ve primed the pump on Jesus gathering folks by looking at what he did before he ever gathered anyone on his own, why he wanted to gather with other folks, and the kinds of spaces he created for folks to gather. Now it’s time to actually look at Jesus convening a gathering and then scattering those folks into the world.

For the next few weeks, we’re going to look at half a dozen or so examples of Jesus gathering and scattering folks. And we’ll do it by looking at the first and last gatherings he has with folks in each gospel. First up: Matthew.

Matthew 5:1-12

Here we are with another episode of Gathered and Scattered, our look at how Jesus brought people together and sent them out into the world in hopes of answering this question that’s been gnawing at me for years:

What’s the point of church?

Despite my admission that I’m a terrible evangelist in last week’s episode, I do want to invite to join my family and a few others as we begin to gather in person and give some shape to a community that we hope will echo more closely the one we see Jesus building with his disciples. We’ll begin meeting on Sunday, September 13 at 5:00pm at the Blackbird Creative Studio in downtown Laurel at Union Hall. The more the merrier. Drop me a message if you have any questions!

Boy in the Temple: Luke 2:41-52
Nazareth: Luke 4:18-21
Cleansing: Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, Luke 19:45–46, and John 2:13–16
Feeding 5,000: Matthew 14:13–21, Mark 6:31–44, Luke 9:12–17, John 6:1–14

Welcome back to another episode of Gathered & Scattered, an exploration of this question that’s been gnawing at me for years: what’s the point of church? I love that one of the first things that all the gospel writers agree on is that it didn’t take long for Jesus to find his people after he stepped out of the Jordan and into his public ministry. We all know he called the disciples, but we often think about it in terms of evangelism and not community. I think we’ve got that backwards.

I want to invite to join my family and a few others as we begin to gather in person and give some shape to a community that we hope will echo more closely the one we see Jesus building with his disciples. We’ll begin meeting on Sunday, September 13 at 5:00pm at the Blackbird Creative Studio in downtown Laurel at Union Hall. The more the merrier. Drop me a message if you have any questions!

Let me know what you think.
