10-8-17: Living The Questions

https://soundcloud.com/ncclaguna/living-the-questions-by-reverend-rodrick-echols

This weekend, we continue our journey through the Progressive Christianity series, and our focus is more than timely given recent events!  Questions abound, do they not?  I am referring to questions about keys to a prosperous life, questions about God's plan for all of us, questions about ways to engage with someone I deeply disagree with on key issues - the list goes on and on!  If there is anything beautiful we carry forward after World Communion Sunday, during which we affirmed the availability of God's table to all, it is that we are free to question.  We are free to seek wisdom, in its many forms and colors, for our lives and for our spiritual journeys.  Our Jesus encourages us through his very example to live the questions!
