The calling of Christ-followers to live in unity is foremost in the mind of Jesus. We will never live out God’s dream for us to connect with one another if we allow our anger to destroy our relationships. This week we are going to focus on what unity means and what it looks like for the body of Christ to be unified.

It seems anger is in the air… the whole world’s gone mad! In this series we'll look at three places we direct our anger, and how grace can help us release that anger and find peace with God and other people. We'll focus on Paul’s letters to the churches and draw from his words of wisdom to help us navigate the anger we feel.

Jesus calls all who follow him to do and love as he does. It’s not about the rungs of the ladder—it’s about the mindset, posture, and action of being Christlike. This leads to a life that is connected to the favor of God and to the character of Jesus.  As individuals and as a community, let us follow Jesus’ example, focusing our mission efforts on the most vulnerable in our community and around the world.

We often fail to recognize the power of eating, specifically the experience of eating with someone. Much of Jesus’ ministry involved conversation around a table. Active listening coupled with a good meal can catapult a casual acquaintance into a growing friendship.

Everywhere we go, we are surrounded by people; people who were created by God. People matter to God, and God desires a relationship with them. The question is, do they matter to you? You can BLESS people by intentionally taking time to listen to their stories and truly know them, because being known is being loved. Let’s learn to listen!

Begin with Prayer, whether we are talking about outreach or our response to a tragedy. Prayer is the first thing we should do, but it’s not the only thing we should do. Comforting and encouraging one individual or organization begins to train our hearts for new ways of living; deeper empathy through action.

We’ve all got it and it’s really hard to let it go. Far too many of us carry heavy baggage from years of hurt, mistakes, pain, and bad choices. When it feels like you've been dealt one blow after another and become weighed down with too much baggage, can you let go and let God take control?
