Luke 6:27-36 We are called to act as children of the Most High. We are called to act the way God acts towards this world. By entering our world through Jesus Christ, our Creator began reversing the flow of hostility. His love started catching on. Everywhere Jesus went, lives were transformed. People found dignity. Enemies turned into loving family. Yes, hate is powerful. But love is irresistible....

Read Matthew 5 Why are humble and merciful and peaceful people blessed? Because they’re living out the character of God. His favor rests on them because they’re doing what he does. They’re working shoulder to shoulder with him. Why are the poor and persecuted and victimized blessed? Because they’re the ones God spends his time with. They’re the ones Jesus pursued. And they wanted to be close to hi...

Read Matthew 20. Grace is not fair and square, it is merciful and generous. For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner, who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. Is that you? Have you been doing this a long time? Have you been faithfully doing the work of the Kingdom, and you’re trying to do your best, but you’re tired, and worn? • Pray. Ask the Lord to send more workers...

Luke 15:3-7 Jesus told them this story: “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me bec...

The main question I want us to answer today is why Jesus taught in parables. Why not just speak directly? Read Matthew 13:11-17 That’s where parables come in. In these short stories and illustrations, Jesus takes the wild and unexpected and countercultural message of God’s upside-down kingdom - a message where the last are first and the first are last, where the poor are blessed and the blind can...

This week, we followed up with your questions in regards to this series on parenting, marriage, aging, and what to do when you hit a wall. Question: This series seems to be all about loving others: aging parents; adult children, etc. Is love a "heart" or an "act," What is the Biblical definition of love? The Bible talks about love in both ways - love is both a feeling as well as an action. Love is...

Today we’re going to talk about how we as Christ-followers should respond when the dream dies, when we hit the wall, when things fall apart. Read Ephesians 6:10-18 Throughout this letter, the Apostle Paul is painting a picture of how Christ-followers should live and behave in the midst of this still broken world. Spiritual warfare is real, we do have an enemy. But what the enemy is and how it oper...

Read: Ephesians 5:21-33 *Note: It breaks my heart (and it would break Paul's heart) to know that these words have caused women to not seek help when they're being abused, to blame themselves for their husbands' sin, or to suppress their own God-given skills and gifts and callings. If that's a part of your story I am so very sorry. We do damage to the text when we take it out of context and don't a...

Take a look at Ephesians 6:1-3 6 Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord,[a] for this is the right thing to do. 2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” Children obey your parents because you belong to the Lord – if we are follo...

This younger son is working in a spiritually unclean environment that is completely cutting him off from his own people. Why was this young man alone? Wasted his money (v.13) – American theologist view Famine in the land (v.14) – Russian theologist view No one gave him anything (v.16) – East African theologist view There are a lot of reasons we find ourselves alone, far from home, in the metaphori...

Read Luke 5:12-16 Being a leper was the worst possible thing during this time. It meant you were isolated from community, exempt from human touch, and completely dependent on the compassion of others for basic survival. Now, the fact that Jesus heals this man is wonderful. It plays a big role in establishing who he is as the Messiah, it’s great. But what I want to focus on today is how he heals hi...

1 Peter 2:12-17 This letter had a lot of ground to cover, it covered a pretty large area - about 130,000 miles, and that’s important because it meant that the gospel was spreading and being heard farther away. The Church was growing, and the Kingdom of God was expanding! However, these new Christians were grossly misunderstood. Peter wanted Christians to be KNOWN FOR their HONORABLE LIVES. Do we h...

Read Romans 12:1-13 We are called to: 1. We are to give all of our lives as sacrifices to God. 2. We are to have sane estimates of how important we really are. 3. We are to help the body of Christ function as well as it can. 4. We are to truly love one another like family. 5. We are to proactively be looking for ways to help others in need, particularly when that need is relief from isolation… fro...

Read John 4. Jesus sits by a well and meets a Samaritan woman in the middle of the day. In that time and place, this would have raised quite a few red flags. First, Jews and Samaritans didn’t like each other. Second, she was a woman. In that day Jewish men believed they should avoid unnecessary conversations with women. This woman is coming out to the well alone in the middle of the day. Normally,...
