Jesus:: Dinner and Gossip

Have you ever had someone say, "We were just talking about you the other night" and you feel a little nervous? What train of thought lead them there? 

"Speaking of annoying people..."

"Yeah, you know who else can't dance..."

"I didn't know sushi could make me that sick, which reminds me..."

There's something tied to the thought of people talking about you when you're not around that can either be the most encouraging or discouraging thing possible. You know that these kinds of conversations can shape how people engage with you in the future, and yet you're powerless to inform them. 

This Sunday we look at a story where Jesus faced pressure to let other people's conversations and thoughts about him direct his actions. I'm excited to sit together and wrestle with this tension! I hope you'll come and join me.
