How do we learn to love ourselves as children of God so that we can return God's love and love others? We can begin by choosing to do no harm to ourselves, others, or God's work in the world.

What are you looking at as we live our lives? Are we looking to the empty sky for the Jesus of long ago, or are we looking for the signs of the ways that the risen Christ, who is present with us at all times, is pointing to what God is doing in the world?

Led by the example of Jesus and surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, we are called to share our witness. We are not without guidance, and we are not alone as we point to what God is doing in the world. That is good news!

To witness God's presence in our lives is not just to tell our story; it is to offer ourselves. Paul suggests that we offer ourselves, not as strangers but as family members.

God's call to love our neighbor is a consistent theme throughout scripture. We believe that to truly love someone, we must first know them. And to love them means to act on their behalf. Sermon by Nate Horner, Sam Burrus, and Mark Lowe
