October 27 – Reformation & Confirmation Sunday
Can we pray the way Bartimaeus prays? People try to hush him up because by addressing Jesus as “Son of David” he is making a politically dangerous claim that Jesus is the rightful king. Could our prayers ever be heard as a threat to unjust powers that be? Bartimaeus won’t give up or go away quietly, but repeats his call for help more loudly. Do we ask so boldly? And are our prayers an honest answer to Jesus’ question, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Jeremiah 31: 31-34, Psalm 46 and Mark 10:46-52

Generosity rises from the conviction that God has provided, and that we can participate in God’s work with our offerings. Give today.
