Luke 17:5-10; 2 Timothy 1:1-14 | Ever get to the point that you wonder if you’re equipped to do what’s being asked of you? As we turn to our Gospel this weekend, this seems to be the reality of Jesus’ disciples. Uncertain of their ability to fulfill what Jesus is asking of them, they boldly ask Jesus to increase their faith. But in response, Jesus suggests that the measure of their faith is not the point. Rather, their trust in God’s faithfulness, and their willingness to rely on God as they do what is commanded of them, is what Jesus seeks. So this weekend, whether you’re feeling as though your faith is in tip-top shape or is faltering a bit, join us for worship as we’re reminded of the gift that God has implanted within us, and as we are pushed (or shoved) by the Spirit to “fly out of the nest” for the sake of Christ and Christ’s Kingdom.
