Waymaking

As long as we are alive, there will be change, so let us embrace it.

When you are at your most vulnerable, that is when God chooses us.

God is not a jerk. It is not the tree’s fault, it might just need a little attention and care. We’re called to care for one another.

Being afraid can keep us from doing things. God calls us to keep going even when we’re afraid.

What might lead us astray if we aren’t careful? What elicits resistance within us? Most importantly, what is God calling us to do?

“it is difficult to tell the difference between burying something and planting something”

Embrace the times of change and uniqueness … as an opportunity to see transfiguration on a more beautiful way. God is calling us to be transfigured.

The Golden Rule. To treat others as you would like to be treated, you first need to see them. Challenge your preconceptions.

Pastor Phil’s reflections on Luke 5:1-11. “be the kind of people that …[can be] open to God being able to teach us and lead us in new ways”

What is “the regular way” to do church and how does that get in the way of doing God’s work? What is God trying to teach us?
