Jesus goes for a walk with his disciples through the city of Jerusalem. They walk past the temple, and the disciples, marvel at the size of the stones that were used to build the temple. Huge stones, some of them weighing tonnes and tonnes look so solid, so unmoveable, everlasting almost. Jesus throws cold water on their awe, saying that all of those stones will be moved, will be broken down. the temple is not as solid as they might think.
That causes their earth to shift just a bit. If those stones aren't solid, then what can be?
This Sunday, we'll spend some time with this text, this story. We'll spend some time wondering what are the seemingly solid things in our lives, the things we rely on to hold firm. Are they are solid as we think they are? What is solid? What doesn't change?
