The Spirit is Prolific

“A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good.” Although “do not be afraid” is a very common directive throughout the scriptures, as human beings who’ve literally been biologically wired to experience fear to survive, it’s a pretty tall order. This series encourages us not to focus on our inability to be fearless, but to focus on our ability to fear-less because the resurrection of Jesus is proof that in the end, love and life will overcome evil, injustice and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

The Good News Is… Alive In The World

Death cannot stop the good news. It is alive, unbound, and wild in the world. As we celebrate the good news of Easter, let us also go out seeking Christ in the faces of neighbors and strangers, and in the good works that are alive in this world. Following Jesus leads to a richer, more expansive life, but it’s not necessarily comfortable. Jesus’ ministry can be described as “radical” which comes from the Latin word “radicalis,” meaning “root” or “ground.” Therefore, the good news should bring us back to our roots. Emulating Jesus and embodying his teachings should ground us in who God created us to be. Can we be “good news” people in a world too often burdened by bad news? Yes! We can and we must!
