Big Guy to the rescue - maybe?

 In Luke 13:34-35 Jesus relates His love for Jerusalem, even though the city had a history of killing God's prophets. The statement is even more striking when we consider that Jesus knew that he too would soon be killed by the political and religious leaders of the city. How do you respond to your enemies?

Breaking News - I want attention

 When feeling helpless during difficult times, we often look for 'signs' of a great change. We cling to hope based on unique interpretations of current events and passages like Luke 21 to foster a belief that we will soon be saved. Maybe if we spent less time trying to interpret the news, we would have more time to look for ways to be Jesus to those around us. How do you spend your "Jesus" time?

Uncle Sam has an ugly bit of nationalism showing

God condemned Jehu for his excessive violence in defending his nation (Hosea 1). Christian Nationalism and other movements that falsely claim Christ while inciting or enacting violence on 'others' betrays the name, message, and cause of Christ. #Christians Against Christian Nationalism

Is God still working on you?

In Revelation 21, God creates again. Throughout Scripture, God is always doing something new—often when least expected. How is God creating something new in you? Have you stopped growing and become proud of never changing?
 

Jesus makes the unseen seen

When the disciples argued over who was to be the greatest, Jesus pointed to the one least likely to be heard, thought of, or even seen (Luke 9). By pointing to the most powerless, Jesus made the unseen seen, and reminded us all that the path to greatness is actually found in humility. Who do you ignore? Could they be the greatest among you?

Still Room at the Table

 Jesus told a parable about a feast with no guests (Luke 14). In the parable, the host is disgusted by the way his invitation is disregarded that he uninvites them and extends an invitation to those with the least social standing and power. We might notice that even after opening the table to everyone, there was still room for more. Who would not want at your table that Jesus would still invite?

Pastor Awesome's Cardboard Pentacost

 Jesus promised His disciples that they would do greater works than Jesus Himself (John 14). Rather than thinking of impressive miracles, we might remember that the Spirit Jesus demonstrated was love and care for others. How does the Holy Spirit work through you to demonstrate even greater love than Jesus?
