Show Notes

In our annual Interdependence Day worship - on the Sunday nearest the 4th - we again expose the lie of supposed independence, and instead claim the joy of justly-ordered mutual dependence and collective liberation! Willie James Jennings's fiery, faithful commentary is our conversation partner as we engage the imprisoned Jesus-followers in the Book of Acts. We know that God's deepest desire is for the shaking of every prison foundation, the liberation of each imagination, and the release of every captive - on both sides of the prison bars. Thanks be to God! [sermon begins at 29:50]
