The Messiah's kingdom is eternal, and while it may have been prophesied thousands of years ago and fulfilled in Jesus 2000 years ago, his kingdom is fulfilled in us today. This isn't some distant dream or something we hope may come someday, but a place where we get to invite people in today. Where the poor and marginalized are welcomed, regardless of status or stature. This is a kingdom of hope. This is a place where the light breaks through the darkness. Isn't it cool to think that the light of his kingdom breaks into this world through us!?

We need to learn from Paul that not everything God does in our lives is to be shared publicly.
The fruits that come out of the experiences we have with the Lord benefit other people way more than the experience itself.
Every encounter we have with God doesn't end there; it is to transform us first so we can be used by Him to transform others!

Pride will never let us be vulnerable. Pride will try to keep this inside, never asking for help.

Paul for the first time, open up his heart and share that he has an issue. An issue he is not able to solve! Yes, he is planting churches, yes he is operating in the power of the Holy Spirit but he has an issue, a thorn in his flesh.

Today we need to learn to turn from our prideful ways. Each step on the path of spiritual formation brings us closer to peace as the image of Christ is renewed in us. We have to get rid of pride, to become humble, to even desire a pursuit of Christ's image in us. Never forget that pride is not only exalting ourselves, as in shouting how great we are, but also when we refuse to do something God has asked us to do because we're scared of failure or what others might say. As we become humble, exalt God, and serve others, we are ushering in God's topsy turvy Kingdom. A place where love and justice reign supreme!

If our church is to flourish, we must remember what He is asking of us. It goes all the way back to the kind of church He wants us to be. The kind of church that will live and be alive! God can turn dry, empty spots into places full of life and hope, just like he strengthens us when we’re feeling down. God heals and guides us along a safe path, where no harm can touch us if we stick with Him. This journey is all about moving from sadness to joy, a kind of joy that sticks around because of what Jesus has done for us.

We all need to step up and walk this path of holiness. Let's be there for each other, trust in God's promises to refresh the barren parts of our lives, and make a positive impact on our community.
