Also Starring Hur - The Strength Beside You

There is a phrase that’s often used when talking about movies or television shows. After naming the star, they say, "Also starring..." and then there’s a list of supporting actors. Because you can have a great hero, but every hero needs companions, mentors, friends, and people standing beside them. Sometimes those supporting actors are the ones who make the whole story work. So for the next several weeks, we're going to spend some time with those "also starring" in scripture—the ones who only appear briefly—whose names are easy to miss, but whose faithfulness change the story. Because God's story has never been carried by one person alone—Noah had his family. Ruth had Naomi. Even Jesus had disciples. Again and again, scripture shows us that God works through communities, and partnerships, and ordinary people whose names may not make the headlines, but whose actions make all the difference. And today, we meet one of those people: Hur.
