One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...Psalm 27:4

Worship for October 11, 2020-- Lessons for Hard Times: The Antidote to Alienation

“It’s more than isolation. Are we witnessing a sense of alienation descend upon our lives?  Alienation is what happens when we start to actively reject loved ones or the society of friends….It’s about shunning offers of connection and love and human contact.  It’s the experience of feelings like distance and estrangement, even from people we trust and even from our own emotional selves.”

We are indebted to The Work of the People for their incredible visual art offerings including the audio recording of today’s Prayers of Intercession. The video is worth watching: Earth as the Original Liturgy.

I leaned on Luke Timothy Johnson’s write up in Philippians for my summary. He offers fantastic theology of of the New Testament.
