Prayer: Give us your love, power, and strength, Lord, each day of our lives. Amen.
Reading: Colossians 1: 11-20 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: As we wrap up another church year this Sunday, we are reminded of God’s power. And, we are reminded that we are made strong through that same power. This summer, my dad suffered a heart attack. When I got the news, of course I was concerned and worried about what was going to happen. But, I also experienced a sense of peace that I know came from God. Something told me everything would be okay. It was a strange experience for me but I know it was definitely a “God moment” for me. And, it held true. Dad got the care that he needed and recovered. God gives us strength from power that we cannot understand. As we celebrate Christ, the King, this Sunday, reflect on that power and that peace. --Chad Hershberger
