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

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

God Has a Cure

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

And we ask God to help us.
