What if Jesus came to visit? Where do we find God?


Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-4, (5-7), 8-15a and Psalm 42 and 43    Isaiah 65:1-9 and Psalm 22:19-28    Galatians 3:23-29    Luke 8:26-39

What would you do? How would you feel... if Jesus came to visit? Compare your thoughts with the healed demoniac and his fellow Gerasenes. What if meant leaving our comfortable, familiar ways and "possessions?" See The Rev. James T. Moors, "When Jesus Comes to Visit."

Where do you find God? What is it like to be in the presence of God? Have you ever felt being in God's presence? What was it like? Describe it as best you can. Read where Elijah found God - not where you might expect. In God's presence, the man running for his life found the strength, serenity, sustenance and purpose to confront the very forces threatening his life, and the lives and faith of God's people. Where does Jesus show us that we can experience God's presence? See The Rev. Kate Huey's "In God's Presence."
