We have started exploring our "Love Pledge" to one another this week. We start with "Love Is Patient":
I will keep in mind that you will not change overnight... and neither will I.
I will love and respect you through all things, modeling the unconditional love of Jesus.

Passing It On
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he passed his ministry on to the church. You know the Great Commission, but what about the commission Jesus gave in Mark? Each Gospel writer records a time when Jesus passed his ministry on to his followers, and each commissioning gives a different aspect of what the mission of the church is in the world.

A Parent's Joy
Mothers' Day is over. How do we continue to honor our parents even after the presents are opened and the meal is done? How about even after a parent has passed away? This week we looked at how a parent receives honor, what we can do to honor our parents, and how we can raise our children in ways that will bring us honor as parents.

Risen... Just As He Said
God has revealed the miraculous to us, but we don't recognize God's work around us all the time. I wonder if we are too quick to give coincidence and other "alternate explanations" too much credit for the work of God. Because of that, when we consider the unmistakably miraculous promises of God, we have trouble receiving what God has revealed to us... just like the disciples who had lost hope after the cross.

Friday to Sunday
On Friday...
... lies, deceit, oppression, and hate prevailed
