A Deeper Longing - Rev. Melanie Hardison

Each New Year brings the hope that life might be different, that we might be different. We know that New Year’s resolutions are often short-lived—and we make them anyway (we are people of hope, after all). But there is a deeper longing underneath our resolutions. What if, like Bartimaeus, we claimed that deeper longing? What if, like the wise ones following the star to Jesus, we dared to truly follow God’s lead? Our scripture reading is Mark 10:46-52.
