What Role Are You Called To?

June 18, 2017 | This Sunday we find Jesus with the first disciples showing them what role they are called to. Amidst a world crowded with struggle and need, a world confused by a less than ideal political reality and made up of social divisions. Jesus sees the crowds that are everywhere. They are tired, helpless and lost with no one to show them the way. And yet moving through the cities and villages of his day and time, situated in that place of overwhelming need, Jesus turns to the disciples and declares the harvest to be great and plentiful.
In light of the goodness and the love that over and around them lies, Jesus commissions the disciples to go out into their communities, among the crowds and to address the need.
