Series: Bless this Mess
March 09, 2025 | Rev. Brooke Heerwald Steiner
The world spins around and around and our frantic lives try to keep up. Too often, we are spinning with responsibilities, commitments, to-do lists, and activities. What does it look like to rest? To pause? To stop? Sabbath is a gift that we all receive from God. Not just after the work is done, but in the midst of the work and before the work even begins. We’ll hear scripture’s depiction of sabbath and reflect on how it is a blessing in the middle of our messy lives.
Series Information
Life is messy. The world is very messy. Luckily, our faith gives us practices to help navigate the chaos with grace and intention. During Lent, we’ll be looking at how we can bless the messes around us, within us, beside us. Honoring our bodies as sacred, embracing Sabbath in a restless world, fighting and forgiving will help us release the burdens we carry. We will explore the wisdom of living with enough, confession that brings healing, and the role of routines to ground us in God’s love. We do not have to have everything together in order to be transformed by God’s presence.
