Blessed are the Rejected, with Rev. Kally Elliott. Series: The Lives We Actually Have A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Matthew 21.1-11.
About the Series, The Lives We Actually Have: We often think spirituality is waiting until some future date when our lives are less of a mess; when the problems are overcome and the conflict is resolved; when the anxiety and fear are quieted; when the doubts and questions are answered; when our bodies ache less; when the pain and grief soften. Our days are complicated by feelings and frustrations that don’t seem altogether spiritual. During this Season of Lent as we walk with Jesus, we will lean into the promise that in the actual days we live – pain-filled, lovely, ordinary, garbage days – there are hidden blessings.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.
We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
