God with the Privileged?
This Sunday, we will continue our sermon series, "God with the People," and this story of God's relationship with the Israelites from Genesis to Jesus, we have come to the time of the great Kings of Israel.
Saul, David, and Solomon each have big stories written about them in our Bibles, especially King David. While many of those stories are about their great successes, others include murder, adultery, and other serious mistakes. We quickly get the clear sense that the Kings were blessed leaders and regular people with faults.
As we continue our larger story of God with the People, this week we will take a closer look at these leaders as we consider how God is with these people: the wealthy, privileged, top 1%, rulers. If God is with the people, then that means everyone. But how is God's relationship to the most privileged similar or different from God relationship with the 99%? Join us on Sunday as we find out together!
