Kingdom of God:

The Overlapping and Interlocking of Heaven and Earth

Stone Soup
Sunday October 21 4:00 p.m.
Scripture reflections Job 38:1-7; Mark 10:35-43 (see below)
We'll gather at 4 at the Wesley Cottage. Then we'll explore some of the different places in our town and their functions in an effort to explore our part in the significance of place.
We'll talk about what makes a place, an event or us holy.
We'll use this to explore the significance of eating together, playing together, worshipping together and living together.
For our meal together, we'll have a regular potluck (if you want a focus, think about fall specialties).
I can't wait to see you then. Invite a friend.

Job 38:1-7

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: 
‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 
Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me. ‘Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. 
Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 
On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone 
when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?.

Mark 10:35-43

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.’ And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?’ And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.’ But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?’ They replied, ‘We are able.’ Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’

 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John.So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant,
