Dear friends,
As we reach the last sermon in the current sermon series “Homecoming.”
When we talk about homecoming – there is an underlying assumption. For one reason or another, we are not at home. It could be that we left home, or that we don’t feel at home where we are.
Brene Brown said “Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission. Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you’re not enough. You will always find it because you’ve made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you.”
I believe that related to this lack of self-worth is shame. This Sunday, i want to wrap up this arc weaving together the various ideas we have talked about with a look at what is often at the root of our “homelessness.”
Come join us this Sunday!
Shalom
