The Next Right Thing

What can we do when so much around us and in us feels so overwhelming? 

This week as Paul reveals his Roman citizenship and confronts the Sanhedrin we are invited to discover the power of our identity as members of God’s household & citizens of the Kingdom: this is our source of uncommon courage in the face of injustice, peace in chaos, and discernment in decision-making as we seek to be formed into people of Christ-like love.

This week we explore the story of Paul’s journey of transformation—from Damascus to Jerusalem—and discover how God’s intimate, loving relationship with each of us heals the fractured story of our lives, invites us into life in the Kingdom, and empowers us to fearlessly share with others the good news of God alive among us.

This week we follow Paul into Jerusalem and come face-to-face with one of the central questions in the life of faith: will our lives be guided by certainty or living trust?

This week we explore how Pauls’ journey towards Jerusalem echo’s Jesus’ and invites us to discover how God’s love and the Spirit’s direction can transform our experience of both suffering and love.

Today’s portrait of a deeply formed Paul offers a model and an invitation for the followers of Jesus.

Today we are invited to become attentive disciples, learning to experience salvation together in the here and now.

This week we are plunged into the midst of a chaotic mob in Ephesus and are confronted by the question: “Are we being formed more by the mobs and crowds of the world or by relationships in Kingdom community?”

Today God invites every part of who we are to encounter more deeply all of who he is.

What happens when we stop simply believing in God and begin arranging our lives around being with him?
