Join Caitlynn, Caroline, Eleanor, and Matt as we recap our day three - our church day at CCCG, and our ride to Rio Dulce where we will begin our work! 

Day 2 recap with Madison, Andrew, Fraser, and Stephanie.  We share moments from our visit to a small family coffee plantation, macadamia nut farm, and some tourist time in Antigua.  

Tonight's podcast features Connor, Lauren Kate, Anna, and Mandy.  They recap our travel day, arrival and trip to Antigua where we will stay for one night.  

We all have a next step, right?  One of the things about faith and walking with Jesus is the ability to care for our own self and make sure that we are eating at the right table.  I remember as a young kid at Thanksgiving, I would sit at the “Kids table.”  Being at the kids table is good for a season, but I remember the desire to move up to the adult table.  In our walk with Jesus, we should always be growing, always be asking, and always be searching.   How do we mature in our faith?  How to we grow? 

Prayer is the fundamental communication for us to know the character and the nature of God.  When we arrive at the moment of prayer, it can be like knocking on God’s door.  Will we knock?  What if He answers?  What if he doesn’t?  What will he do?

As we approach Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season, it’s time to take some self-inventory.  Where in my faith am I strong?  Where am I week?  Am I compassionate?  Do I care?  Am I humble?  Do I seek peace or do I seek to stir the pot?  Our text tonight is about being Salt and Light.  Jesus lays out commands for how we are to differential ourselves from everyone else – not so we can be exclusive, but so that we might bring this Upside-Down Kingdom to those around us.   

The extra mile reflects the character of Jesus. It isn’t always easy to go the extra mile. To do something for someone else requires time, energy, care, concern, effort. However, the second mile is where we see Jesus in ourselves and other people. The extra mile is where we see Jesus at work in and through us. It’s where we reflect His love in a way that makes people ask why. 

As we approach Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season, it’s time to take some self-inventory.  Where in my faith am I strong?  Where am I week?  Am I compassionate?  Do I care?  Am I humble?  Do I seek peace or do I seek to stir the pot?        Matthew 5 begins Jesus first public teaching.  In it, Jesus lays out the plan for this new movement he’s about to start.  The words of Jesus seem upside down in today’s world, but if we care to ponder and apply them to our own life, might we find what we are so often looking for…. Peace, love, joy, and hope.
