In 1 Kings 19 we hear the call to mute the calls of this world and to listen for God   

I love that as we hear of the Transfiguration of Christ we see the disciples learn that what they thought they knew was not necessarily the truth. This challenges us to STOP, LISTEN, and FOLLOW

In Acts 2:42-47 we see the birth of the Church. Many of us want to achieve verse 47 for ourselves. However,  the call to be the Church is not to seek growth of numbers but to do the work of being disciples who make disciples 

In John 4, we hear of the creation of a disciple with the Samaritan Woman at the well. However, today let us hear The Rest of the Story, as we hear how disciples make disciples 

In Luke 9, we hear the call to follow Christ. This is a call to discipleship. A call to follow Christ so closely that the dust from His sandals becomes caked on our face     

In 1 Kings 18, we hear of a three-year drought and famine. We also hear of how Elijah trusts in God over his current circumstances. This trust  gives him the faith to put on his  Rain Boots in the Drought

As we hear in the Scriptures, it is foolish to put new wine in old wineskins. What does this tell us about how we are to be the Church? 
How does this shape the future Church?
Today we look at those places we have become unflexible in our ways and how the call to faithfulness is a call to flexibility     

At the Baptism of Christ, we hear God proclaim... That is MY Son, MY Beloved in whom I am well pleased. As we look at our Baptism and understanding of Baptism, what would it mean to hear and live into that proclamation on us as the family of God 

In Matthew 2, we hear the story of the Magi and Herrod. This story raises two approaches we can have when we encounter the truth of Christ. As Herod did, we can live in fear of giving up control and losing our kingdom. However, the Magi went home a DIFFERENT WAY, as they were changed by their encounter and went forth heralding Jesus and LORD  

In John 1, we hear that the Word became flesh. Today the question should be, what if we put a little more skin in the game?
