Making Room for Possibility
(Anna Golladay)

“”So often the nervousness that comes with watching and waiting leads to overlook the ways in which God is begging for us to engage in ‘deliverance theology’ here and now.””

In your own words, what is “deliverance theology”? And what does it mean to engage in it in our world today.


Matthew 24:36-44

“But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Creator. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Human One. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Human One. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Human One is coming at an unexpected hour.
