The Body of Christ When our World is in Chaos
Chaos can be beautiful or confusing or dangerous. How do we, the body of Christ, tend to one another amidst chaos?We are called to keep the community save and tell the story.
Building Together
After any adversity, rebuilding is possible if God’s people work together. Let’s start building. We are the Body of Christ.
Whose Glory?
What you have doesn’t make you worthy, even each breath you take is a gift from God. Our accomplishments aren’t bad, but it isn’t about us.
The More You Know
To know God is about more than just reading the Bible from cover to cover. It is to recognize God moving in your life. A deepening relationship with God will move us to a deeper relationship with those around us. We are called to stand up, the injustice can’t be allowed to stand, it will not hold water.
It is Good to Be Seen
Jesus calls us to see those who aren’t seen by community. What child of God have we not responded to today? How can we welcome them and, in the process, make ourselves whole?
It is Time to Pivot
Life may seem to get away from us, but God offers opportunity to see and do something different, the Divine ambush.
Keep the Faith
The cross is a symbol of power and a tool of persecution. Different perspectives. Life can be exhausting.
Facing the Truth
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Jesus is the Word. Jesus is the Truth. God’s Truth is Good News. Jesus leads in a way that we can begin to understand. It is going to get hard. We need the help and it is there if we ask. We are the possible.
Scattered and Gathered
God scattered those who wanted to create a name for themselves, but God calls us to unite in loving God’s people. “And they’ll know we are Christian by our love”
Reconnect
We may go through seasons when we don’t believe, We may lose the feeling. God wants us to remember when God moved through our lives. God’s grace allows us to reconnect.
