Are we going to be unified with the world or unified with the Lord? That’s the challenge that Paul hands down to us here.
God calls us to unity, but the Church struggles to follow that calling. What does being one who seeks to live according to the “bond of peace” really look like for us?
Are we stagnating or are we learning? How are we doing helping others with that question? Pastor Tim tonight leads us to consider those questions in light of Jesus’s command to teach each other as his disciples.
Even when we have the truth, we need to figure out how to convey it in love. Conveying truth in love involves caring about how the person we’re speaking to will hear it because of how we say it and when we say it.
How does showing care in how we relay information speak to our state before God? It is part of the broader picture of who we are in Jesus.
We would never steal… or would we? As we continue “Six Poisons,” we turn to the topic of false witnesses and how we can steal something precious from those around us.
We’re called to feel peace and yet anger can boil up so easily in the midst of the turmoils of life. What do we do with that as we seek to follow Jesus?
