In Philippians 4:6-7  we hear wisdom on how to deal with our anxiety and these anxious times. The wisdom we hear is to keep CALM and trust in God  

In the end of Mark 2 and beginning of Mark 3 we hear a discussion of the letter vs the Spirit of the Law. Today we address the challenge to pursue the Spirit of the Law and of God as we go and share The Gospel 

In Isaiah 6, we hear a story about Isaiah encountering God, which calls him to analyze himself and proclaim, "Here I am... send me."

The story of Pentecost is one that says that though we may not speak the same language, think the same, or see eye to eye we may still work hand in hand as we build the Kingdom of God

In 1 Corinthians 2 we hear how we are called to share with this world, and with those people we interact with  (in Judea) and it is with humility and truth, rooted in love, relationship  and conversation 

In Acts 1:8, we hear, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Today we begin walking through how we are called to witness in these places, starting with in Jerusalem.    

The call to follow Jesus is a call to Burn the Ships and cast our net as we seek to  grow God's Kingdom

Today we hear the story often referred to as "Doubting Thomas" today we reframe it at "Wrestling Thomas" and ask the question what do we do with the Thomas in each of us, and with the Thomas who we encounter.
