Five Ways Into Sunday’s Scripture: Living a Life of Service

October 14, 2021 | By Faith Formation and Education

The story in Job this week casts a focus on themes of transactional entitlement — reward-punishment — in contrast to service and stewardship.

Five Ways Into Sunday’s Scripture: Mark 10
