You are the Salt of the Earth
You have been called to enhance the goodness of God where you are. Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, instead ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do it. Christianity must be practiced in community.
You Are a Child of God
You are loved, share that love with all you meet.
Isn’t Justice in Our Job Description?
God calls us to a prophetic intervention in the world. Don’t give in to despair.
Triggered
Jesus wants us to welcome the questionable, the outcast, the marginalized. Jesus tells the story of the lost sheep, not for the 1, but for the 99 who are just as lost. “No one is free until all are free.”
You Can’t Take It With You
We may work hard, but we don’t do it all on our own. What if we recognized our interdependence? What if we we give back to the community that helped us get here. Say, “Thank you!”
Keeping the Word
Jesus words always include action. We will keep putting the flag back up.
How is it with Your Soul?
God calls us to meet people where they are and care for them. “David took the lyre and Saul would feel better.” Can we be the instrument that those with mental health conditions need?
Participating in Resurrection
God calls us to participate in resurrection, helping others to be Easter people, too. Christ is indeed risen, and so are we. Jesus’ resurrection includes us.
Why Do We Worship?
Beware of doing justice in order to be seen. We worship to give God the glory for the grace we have been given. We do it because of who God is.
God Favors the Poor
“You can’t always get what you want … but sometimes you get what you need.”
