Greatness in the kingdom of heaven is becoming like a humble and subordinate child. Greatness in the Kingdom of God is serving the insignificant little ones in our world.

We are called to listen and obey God’s voice even when it is hard or causes us fear.

God calls us to respond with generosity in all matters of life because we have already been recipients of God’s great abundance.

Jesus calls us to pursue life in the kingdom of heaven with reckless joy.

Jesus calls us to keep our focus on planting good seed, not removing weeds from our midst.

We cannot listen to the word and ignore it's teachings, we must put it into action and continue to grow our faith.

Jesus invites us to abandon what we think we know about following him in exchange for a spot beside him, learning how to participate with him in proclaiming the Kingdom of God.

Faithfulness to Christ might lead to divisions within our closest relationships.

Jesus calls us to embrace the unique challenges of faithful proclamation in our day and time. We are to be as crafty as snakes and innocent as doves.
