Have you ever been lost? It can be a scary experience to not know where you are or how to get back on track. That is why the Holy Spirit has been sent to guide us into unknown territory with a spirit of adventure!
Pentecost reminds us that the Good News of Jesus's saving grace, love and purpose is meant for all the world! How do you see the Holy Spirit working in the world, and in your heart today, to draw us into the Lord's love? Wait, receive, and then move with him!
Loving God involves confessing where we have fallen short to God, trusting that his promises never fail. This healing inspires us to intercede for one another in prayer.
Our faith bears fruit in loving our neighbor. While we mean to speak life into people, we often bring them down and hurt them. God works in our lives to love others who are made in his image.
While life around us is swirling with chaos, fear and anxiety, it is our faith that anchors us in his presence. Out of this faith, we are able to persevere as transformed people.
Our Christian Faith is scandalous! Not just because of the exclusiveness of Jesus' claims, but also because of the inclusiveness of God's Amazing Grace. What are the things that trip you along the way as you seek to follow Jesus?
The word “scandal” means to trip someone up. The unique things that define our faith in Jesus can be tripping hazards for others. That is why we need to respect the boundaries and know the one who put them in place.
On Palm Sunday, the people cried out: "Hosanna" which means: "Lord, Save Us". In this time of anxiety this is also our prayer! The saving work of Jesus came not through escaping human vulnerability, but by joining us in it. Because he did, we can share in the eternal promise of life with him that nothing can ever take away. In the love of that Jesus, we find peace and hope.
