"We ask you—urge is more like it—that you keep on doing what we told you to do to please God, not in a dogged religious plod, but in a living, spirited dance."
"Don't run roughshod over the concerns of your brothers and sisters. Their concerns are God's concerns, and he will take care of them. We've warned you about this before. God hasn't invited us into a disorderly, unkempt life but into something holy and beautiful—as beautiful on the inside as the outside."
I have mission trip on the mind. On Pentecost Sunday, I invited the Confirmands and the congregation to dance to the tune of the Spirit. Since then, we've been commanded to bear the fruit of the Spirit, both in the blog and in the lectionary.
I can't wait to see what happens with these kids and moms as their beautiful hands work and the hand of God is on them, transforming them from the inside out.
Sunday's text is that of the Good Samaritan. The following Sunday we will preach as a group of 11. The Scripture is focused on Mary and Martha. You will hear personal stories of how the kids see themselves after spending a week in Butler, IN.
