The Beatitudes aren't a blueprint for success in this life.
But they are a checklist for the Christian life.

Despite all the unrelenting horrors of the daily headlines, the Kingdom of Heaven is near us, beside us, with us.

Which means that if we Christians are anything at all, we are people of hope.

Because God is a global God, we too need to be a global people.

So thinking globally is the first step in carrying out our mission in modeling Christ in all that we are and all that we do.

The second step is to act locally. None of us can do everything. But all of us can do something.

Eureka! For the World - Epiphany Sunday

1/8/2023

0 Comments

There are times in our lives when the Epiphany occurs.

Sometimes Jesus comes when we are searching for Him. And we have the Epiphany that Christ is here.

Sometimes Jesus comes unexpectedly when we're not searching for him. He shows up in ways we're not looking for.

Sometimes we respond with joy for Jesus' coming because we're in a place where we can receive him.

And sometimes we respond with fear and anger because we're in a place where we think we're in control.

But no matter how we respond, no matter how Jesus comes in our Epiphany.
Jesus is here.

A Clean Slate

Jesus saves us from our sins.
He saves us.
He rescues us from the mistakes of our past.

And God delivers us from the prison of the past to the promise of this brand-new year.

And in doing so, God offers us a clean slate
-- a fresh start.

This period of dispiritedness,
this period of sadness,
this period of grief
is a time we are meant to move through.

Jesus will tell us how to get through that longest night.

In Jesus there is life.
In Jesus there is abundant life.
In Jesus there is eternal life.

Wars and Peace - Second Sunday of Advent

Stay, friends, brothers, and sisters, in this moment. Remember what God has done.

Keep focused on the hope we have in His Kingdom. For the grass withers, the flower fades, and the leaves are blown from the yard and back.

But God's Word, and God's Kingdom endures forever.

Holding Our Breath - First Sunday of Advent

11/27/2022

0 Comments

The decisions you think most important are not to matter at all.
But rather whether or not you decide to mail that letter.
Whether or not you decide to say goodbye or not to say it.
The afternoon you decide to cancel everything and drive out to the beach to watch the tide come in.

These are the moments souls are won or lost, including -- quite possibly -- your own.

Doing the Work

Church work is a week long task. it is not simply done on a Sunday morning when we have finished sitting in church. It is more than the once-monthly volunteering.

It is a week-long event. And it happens every week.
It is reading our Bibles.
It is serving others wholeheartedly.
It is praying to and talking with God.

The work is hard. It is uncomfortable.

But we are called to inspire people by the way we live.

Following Jesus is not an insurance policy.
Following Jesus does not insulate us from danger, or suffering, or illness, or even death.
But God is with us in the midst of the suffering.
God is present with us always.
