Faith in Action

8/7/2022

The Beatitudes are a call to action.

Jesus’ teachings never meant for us to sit idle. Jesus set that example himself, healing the sick and feeding the hungry.

He didn’t just talk about it – he went out and did it.
- Colleen Earp

Scripture Readings:
Matthew 5:1-12;
Luke 6:17-20

Come By Here

7/31/2022

God is with us when we are struggling. And Jesus calls on us to reflect that to our neighbors.

Being present and attentive to the suffering and struggle of others is so important. And so much more than just being in the same place at the same time.

We can make sure our neighbors near and far aren’t alone in that.
- Colleen Earp

Scripture Reading
Luke 6:17-26

Getting on the Same Page

7/24/2022

Let's all get on the same page about what Jesus stands for.

Jesus stands for breaking the mold. He doesn't blindly accept society as it is. He shows through word and deed what could be.

Jesus stands for the ones who have been pushed aside. The peacemakers, the merciful, the meek, who are rejected as weak. The persecuted who are run over. The hungry and thirsty who are ignored.

And Jesus invites us all into a new way of living.

Scripture Readings:
Isaiah 61:1-9

Be My Guest

7/17/2022

With Christ, we must pay attention to order. Lest what is accessory becomes our chief concern. Accessories, like our hard work.
our moral superiority, our vision of how things should be.
Us.

Discipleship is not about us. It's not about our words, but the Living Word before us.
- Susan Steinberg

Scripture Readings:
Gen. 18:1-10a
Luke 10:38-42

Who Is My Neighbor?

7/10/2022

What makes us neighbors with people who are like us and people who are way not like us is that we are all in need of a Savior.

Some of us know it, and some of us don't. But we all need the Good Samaritan to care for us.

- Pat Nabers

Luke 10:25-37

God Has a Cure

7/3/2022

Remember who we are in Christ, and be restored.

And bear witness to the good news that God's cure is for us all.

But not just for us, but for us to share.

- Susan Steinberg

No Ifs, Ands, or Buts

6/26/2022

Jesus calls us over, and over, and over,
inviting us into discipleship.

Calling us louder and sweeter and
more insistently than our excuses.

- Pat Nabers

We can help those living with addiction

And we ask God to help us.

Trinity Sunday - The Triune God

6/12/2022

It sounds like we had better be hanging out with the Spirit. And we had better be getting in touch with the Spirit. The Spirit will guide us into all truth. The truth among the many truths. The truth of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three, yet one God, now and forever.
