Stranger or neighbor
How do we recognize that everyone in our community is our neighbor? Everyone deserves our love. Everyone receives God’s love.
With All Your Heart, Love
If we don’t transform hate, we will transmit it. Human beings are not the enemy. The enemy is the violence and injustice inside us all.
We Can’t Look Away
God calls us to welcome the immigrant, the refugee. Jesus was an undocumented refugee as a child. We cannot look away.
Keep It Up
Why does God give so much? God gives shalom/peace/community and it is good.
Are We Hypocrites?
Do we want to help others or are we unwilling to build relationships? Jesus invites us to walk a new walk.
Exhausted and Overworked
Community takes work and can be overwhelming, but God is always present.
The Lord’s Supper
When you eat meals together you are with others. Jesus is with Judas, with Peter, with us. Let us join together and form a more loving world.
Accepting Gifts
God places gifts in front of us if we will just open our eyes.
Who has shown you love?
There are those right in front of you who have shown God’s love without condition. Have you experienced it? The little things can make all the difference.
How Many Times Should We Forgive?
Conflict is normal, how we deal with it is the important part. If we confront and reconcile the issue, it can be resolved, otherwise it festers and poisons our relationships. Forgiveness and hard and shouldn’t be taken lightly, but it is how we restore community.
