#LiveChristVisible
“So perhaps the question that we carry with us this week is not simply am I a Christian? Perhaps the deeper question is it's the life of Christ becoming visible in and through me. So when you encounter people, do they encounter something of the mercy of Jesus? When we are wrong, do they see something of our forgiveness? When we encounter someone in need, do we see something of his compassion? When the world tells us to choose sides and hate our enemies, do they see people stubbornly bend into reconciliation? When pride tells us to place ourselves above false knowledge, do they see humility? And when evil and vices become evil in return, do they see on the way?”

#OvercomeEvilWithGood
“Something inside of us wants to insult them back. Someone humiliates us and we imagine the moment we can keep going, someone hurts us, we want to hurt them too. Someone treats us as an enemy and eventually we begin to treat them as an enemy as well. And before long the very thing we oppose begins to shame us. Paul simply said, don't let that happen. Don't allow someone else of hatred to teach you how to hate. Don't allow someone else's cruelty to make you cruel. Don't allow someone else's anger to determine what kind of person you will be. Don't be overcome by evil. Overcome evil with good.”
37s
#CrossShapedLove
“Because the greatest witness in the church may not be how invalidly we proclaim that we belong to the brothers Christ. Thinking how clearly our beginning to resemble him. Jesus still says to the church, take up the cross and follow me. And Paul reminds us what that journey looks like. And if we love him genuinely, seek peace. Whatever happens, don't overcome by behold Instead, through that strange powerful cross shaped love of Christ, we are called to overcome and evil with God.”
43s
#SeeGodInEveryone
“The ordinary becomes sacred when Christ is present within it. And this challenges us because it asks us to see beyond appearances. It's easy to love people who are grateful. It's harder to love those who are a little bit more difficult. It's easy to help people who can reject us. It's harder to help those who never will. It's easy to welcome people who think like us, who look like us, who worship like us. Jesus calls his disciples to something deeper. He teaches us to recognize the image of God in every person.”
38s
#CupOfColdWater
“We may never know how much those small acts mean to someone else, but Jesus does, and he reminds us that no act of love offered in his name is ever too small to matter. So perhaps the question that this passage leaves with us is really pretty simple. Who needs a cup of cold water? For some of us, it might be a neighbor. For others it might be a family member, a co worker, a classmate, someone sitting just a few keys away.”
44s
#RadicalHospitality
“Hospitality in a biblical sense there is about much more than entertaining guests. It's about making room in our lives for other people. And sometimes that means opening our homes. But more often it means opening our schedules or our tables or our conversations in our hearts. Hospitality communicates something every human being longs to hear, and that is simply that you matter. You belong, and I see you. In an increasingly isolated world, genuine hospitality has become one of the church's most powerful witnesses.”
39s
#EverydayWitness
“Each one of us has been invited into this ministry. Every smile, every visit, every meal, every prayer, every listening ear, every act of generosity, every cup of cold water. None of it is wasted. For in every act of humble love we bear witness to a kingdom that comes not only through dramatic miracles and grand accomplishments, but through ordinary people whose hearts have been transformed by the extraordinary grace of Jesus Christ.”
51s
#GraceInMotion
“``Jesus speaks of giving water because he himself is given. Give her a living water. We were spiritually thirsty. Christ welcomed us. We were strangers. Christ welcomed us. We were sinners and Christ welcomed us. We had nothing with which to repay Him. Yet he embraces us with love and mercy. Grace always moves outward. Those who have received mercy, merciful. Those who have been welcomed become welcoming. And those who have been forgiven become forgiven. Compassion isn't the price we pay for grace. It's the fruit that grows from grace.”
44s
#YouAreCalledToCare
“His words were directed to every disciple. There's always a danger in believing that compassion belongs to someone else. We find ourselves thinking, I'm glad someone is helping them. They really needed it. But Jesus turns the question back towards each of us and simply says, will you help? Organizations and church ministries are important, but they were never intended to replace personal discipleship. The kingdom of God doesn't grow by primarily programs. It grows because ordinary believers notice ordinary needs every day, and they choose to respond in love.”
50s
#NoActTooSmall
“One of the greatest temptations we face is believing that our small acts can't possibly make that much of a difference. We compare ourselves with larger ministries or larger gifts and conclude that what we have to offer is relatively insane, significant. But Jesus intentionally chose a cup of cold water because he wanted us to understand that no act of love is ever wasted. We can often underestimate how deeply a brief conversation can interrupt someone's loneliness, or how a simple invitation to dinner can remind someone that they still belong. Small ads offer faithfully often become turning points in another person's life.”
