Awakened to the Ways of Jesus || Boundary Breaker
Sunday, September 8, 2024 || 11:00am

The word "woke" was first used as a call for black liberation by Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey more than 100 years ago. It continued to be used within some communities to refer to an awareness of injustice. It is now often used as a buzzword to describe anything that is too liberal or progressive. There are "woke" companies, people, and cultures.
What if we were to borrow part of the original meaning of the word and become "awakened" to the ways of Jesus in an effort to gain a deeper understanding of Mark's Jesus--what he stood for, the actions he took, the words he spoke, and their potential meaning for us today?
Our series, "Awakened to the Ways of Jesus" begins this week with one of the more difficult stories in the Gospels and the only one in which someone wins an argument with Jesus.
You are invited to join our community for worship this week as our series begins with Jesus as a "Boundary Breaker."
