Superstar”
from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Now tell me your philosophy
On exactly what an artist should be
Should they be someone with prosperity
And no concept of reality?

Mark 9:35
from the Common English Bible

At that time the disciples came to  Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest  in the kingdom of heaven?”


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.
