Jesus does great deeds of power and gives his disciples authority over demons. Yet none of this power is unilateral; it all must be received by faith. Jesus asks his disciples to go out without money or supplies, so that they will be dependent on how others receive them. When we are sent from the assembly to witness and to heal, we are asked to be vulnerable, to be dependent on the reception of others. The Spirit always operates in the “between”: between Jesus and his Abba, between Jesus and us, between you and me, between us and those to whom we are sent. Our service will be live streamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 9:30 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Jesús realiza grandes obras de poder y da a sus discípulos autoridad sobre los demonios. Sin embargo, nada de este poder es unilateral; todo debe ser recibido por fe. Jesús pide a sus discípulos que salgan sin dinero ni provisiones, para que dependan de cómo los reciban los demás. Cuando la asamblea nos envía a testificar y sanar, se nos pide que seamos vulnerables, que dependamos de la recepción de los demás. El Espíritu siempre opera en el “entre”: entre Jesús y su Abba, entre Jesús y nosotros, entre tú y yo, entre nosotros y aquellos a quienes somos enviados. El domingo 7 de julio, Cristo estará adorando con nuestra congregación hermana Parroquia Santa María ELCA en Madison Wisconsin.
