Change

We are always changing. It can be scary, but it is part of life. Not better or worse, but different. We may not like it, but it is inevitable.

Why does God give so much? God gives shalom/peace/community and it is good.

God’s promises hold true even when it is stressful and challenging. Reaction wood is stronger. Stress makes our faith stronger, too.

As comfortable as Eden was, Adam and Eve had to travel east. God loves us, do not be afraid. Seek and question.

God’s purpose has already been accomplished. God’s love is already been fulfilled. We can either say ‘yes’ or ‘no’

A full life is one where everyone can live safely as God has made them.

God has made us all different, but we all have worth and all are made equal in God’s sight.

Like Joseph, we are called to do something greater, to look for the opportunities during this time of struggle.

God is here where we are, attentive to our needs and worries.

The story of Abram and Sarai becoming Abraham and Sarah. Names have meaning.
