14th Sunday after Pentecost - Pastor Robin Rhine-McDonald

Pastor Robin continues the Road to Restoration by speaking on the freedom of grace.  Grace allows us to honestly face our flaws with compassion so we can live authentically without the need to manage our image.  This episode also includes the Gospel reading and a related song (lyrics below).

We believe in God the father, maker of the heavens and the earth

Of all that is, both seen and not
The beauty of it all his hands have wrought 

But we believe that we are all alone
The earth is ours to plunder and to own

We believe 
Help us with our unbelief 
So we believe
What we believe 

We believe in Jesus Christ
The very son of God, the light of light

He taught and died and rose again
He gave us life that we might truly live 

But we believe that jesus christ was wrong 
For we oppress the poor, reward the strong

We believe the Holy Spirit is the Lord and giver of life 

We believe in resurrection, in the Church,the very bride of Christ

We believe that we must save ourselves 
The gates of heaven never shall prevail

Let us receive our faith again, with open minds and earth stained hands
not with empty words and plans 
But hearts wide open

(We Believe? by Michael Gungor)
