What does it mean to be Jesus' disciple? I haven't quite decided which of the weekly readings I'm going to go with for Tuesday. Either the troubling and mysterious story of the time God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, or Jesus' instructions to his disciples before he sent them out two by two. Either way, it should be an interesting evening.
The underlying, animating question is this: what does it mean to be a disciple in our (post?) COVID19 environment, especially as we become the congregation of Northcote UCA?
Alister ended up writing a sermon based on the discussion, entitled The Existential Faith of Abraham.
So in the event the text itself is so interesting that I focused on that. It's the story of the (almost) sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham. Genesis 22:1-14
