“Everything is Everything”
from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
“Sometimes it seems
we’ll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won’t make it stop
So convinced that they might fall“
Luke 9:48
from the Common English Bible
Jesus said to his disciples,
“Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me. Whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
Summary:
On The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album (1998), Ms. Lauryn Hill’s strivings were political, philosophical and very much spiritual. Grounded in her search for truth and love was a deep well of spirituality seeking divine grace and power from God to transform the “troubles of the world.” In Ms. Hill’s magnum opus, this self-proclaimed “Abyssinian Street Baptist” is “out to change the focus from the richest to the brokest” by the grace of God.
Many of us have been mis-educated on what the gospel of Jesus is all about. This worship series hopes to re-educate us on who Jesus is and who God is creating us to be as the church, in this nation and the world.
