Standing in the Gap
Over the next 4 weeks we are going to talk about the call to transform our culture through missional living. "Missional" seems to be the latest "buzz-word" in the evangelical world; it describes a life that is lived "on mission". It is a concept that fits well with Jesus teaching that we are to be agents of change in our world. Jesus used metaphors of salt and light and yeast. Paul called us to be ambassadors.

What Binds You?
Jesus miraculously frees a woman bound by sickness despite the angry and hypocritical opposition of a synagogue official. In loosening her bonds he demonstrates himself to be the glorious one and ensures that there will be a reckoning for hypocrites who place their religiousity over untying people in bondage.

Like the disciples, the only right response is to follow.
