Today’s Service
This weeks gospel reading tells the story of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem.
I have found myself feeling the same way looking at global politics currently. I have felt a bit of despair over the way migrants, the poor and hungry are talked about. It can be hard to find hope in that situation. When we are feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, the best thing we can do is act in ways that line up with our own value system.
What can we change in our doing that changes our thinking?
Luke 13:31-35
