How does Jesus want to bless our neighborhoods? It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the need we see around us, but when we simply offer Jesus what we have, he will use us to bless those in our own 'corner' of the world.
If we hope to see grace in every corner of our community, we must start seeing our community through the eyes of Jesus. In fact, Jesus tells us that when we see others, we should serve them as if we were seeing and serving Jesus, himself.
What did it mean when Jesus told his disciples to pray for God’s kingdom to come and God’s will to be done, “on earth as it is in heaven?” It means every one of us has a part to play in advancing God’s will in the world and it is up to us to discover what corner of the world he is calling us to. We each have an area of influence in our community – at work, at home, in our neighborhood, in our school – where God has purposely placed us. Join us as we discover what it means to “cover our corner” with Jesus’ amazing grace!
On Palm Sunday, the Sunday before the Cross, Jesus shows us that before the relationship between God and humankind could be mended, first there were things that would need to be torn down. What has built up in your heart that keeps you from seeing Jesus clearly as your Lord? What needs to be torn down, so Jesus can build you up on the foundation of his grace?

In this command not only are we called not to lie about our neighbor, but also to watch how we speak of them. For flawed human beings like us, our 'truth' about someone may be only our perception. Only the Lord knows the heart, so our tongues are to be 'tamed' by Jesus' grace, as we depend on that same grace as well.
Remaining faithful to your spouse has far-reaching implications in creating a trustworthy world. It is not only about a matter of physical intimacy, but also a matter of honoring each other as image-bearers of God. How does Jesus clarify and amplify this commandment?
