Going Outside the Camp
Pentecost 2019
Lee Hopf | September 1, 2019
Focusing on our reading from Hebrews, we are encouraged what it means to go where Jesus has gone: outside the camp. We are to welcome the stranger, identify with the prisoner, and so much more all while remaining steadfast in the way God has made clear we should live (namely, holy, set apart, and different). Going outside the camp can be scary, though. Who will we meet? Will they change us? How does God want us to do this exactly? All great questions.
