The People Bearing Witness at the Gates

( opens in new tab )

Kyle Lake

Through God's decisive intervention in Samaria, four people whose presence at the city gates revealed that they were outsiders turns as they become those who bear good news about what God has done. In doing so they point to others throughout Scripture who are made God's witnesses, and in this way, invite us to bear witness as well.

2 Kings 7:3-11

Questions To Consider...

Withward [Community]: How is my understanding of and engagement with the church being formed during this Gathering?

Backward [Roots]: What personal stories, Biblical narratives, or church traditions are being drawn to my mind in this Gathering?

Forward [Journey]: What is a practical next step I can take in my journey of following the way of Jesus?

Outward [Service]: Who or where might God be calling me to care about more deeply and tangibly?
