We believe the church should be a force of racial reconciliation in the world. Not seeking to justify our rights, freedoms, and privilege, but giving those things up to achieve peace. Because we can easily slip into a place where we let the world and our culture set the agenda rather than letting the Kingdom be its own distinct witness, one way to live this out is to listen culturally and respond spiritually and biblically. What does that look like?

The Kingdom of God is another realm with different values and priorities than this world.
So how do we enter that kingdom?

Jesus invites the ones who don't normally get invited, the ones on the margins who can't reciprocate because there is a place for everyone at the table.
And there's still more room! How can you say yes to Jesus' invitation and partner with him to invite others around you?
So great to have @mellywinder share with us from Chattanooga, TN!

It’s like a treasure hidden in a field…
A merchant in search of fine pearls…
The Kingdom of God could take us by surprise or it could be found through careful searching, but the good news is that the treasure is available to everyone for the same price: everything you have.
What do these stories spark in your mind and heart right now? Get with a friend or two and engage your imagination as you read these quick parables in Matthew 13:44-46.
Big thanks to Ray Hollenbach @rayhbach for sharing with us from Campbellsville!

The kingdom of restoring love that Jesus came to bring is at war with the kingdom of darkness. Now, everyone who follows Jesus gets to play in continuing that expansive mission of healing and freedom that Jesus started until he returns again.
Conditions right now are perfect for lightning to strike which keeps us aggressive, because at any moment the Kingdom could break in with power, healing and deliverance.

Jesus taught his followers to pray for his kingdom to come, to seek his kingdom first, and as we go doing the stuff he did to proclaim his kingdom has come near. Seems like a pretty important thing we should learn about...
The kingdom is God's saving rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven. It's what life is like when all things are set right and restored to the perfect way they should be. What if you could partner with the Spirit of God to experience the future breaking into our present reality with power, healing, and justice?
You can because the king is at work making all things made new!

What is the Kingdom of God? Jesus wanted to make sure his followers understood the great value of the Kingdom of God -- that it was something worth trading everything we have for.
What is the thing keeping you from trading up to experience everything God has for you in his Kingdom?

Jesus chooses us to be with him and to send us out like him. What is the goal of life? Ultimately it’s all about love. Receiving his love and expressing it to others. This is why we practice abiding. We can’t give away what we haven’t received. A life overflowing with the love of God looks like a life sent out and laid down for the sake of others.

Jesus invites us to come be with him so we can learn to live a life of love. Abiding practices train us in a posture of receiving and expressing his love to the people around us. We can’t give away what we haven’t received.
Which aspects of abiding have stuck with you the most? Where do you need to focus on practicing right now? Keep going to find sustainable, healthy rhythms because this part of our way of life following Jesus together.

Sabbath should be a day we look forward to all week and get filled with energy for the week to come. It's a day set apart for rest and worship. The Hebrew word shabbat means "to stop" but can also be translated "to delight." It takes some time thinking and planning to figure this out and find a rhythm, but it is absolutely worth it. Keep practicing, have patience and give yourself grace establishing this for whatever season of life you're in right now.
This week, stop working and delight in the wonder of life and creation with God. Think it through in advance. What are the things that fill you with joy and restore your soul? Do them! Guilt free.
