A Word from The Park Pastor Kaji at The Park Avenue Christian Church

What are your gifts that you have that you can match with the power of the Holy Spirit that God has infused in your life? 

"God has earned your trust. Hand that trust to the Holy Spirit and your faith will bear you up. Through anything. No matter what."

In her sermon, Pastor Kaji references the Harvard Business Review article "Begin with Trust" by Frances X. Frei and Anne Morriss. See https://tinyurl.com/begin-with-trust 

"Be at Peace" is my blessing for you today. You will pass through flames and waters, but no matter what, God says "I will always be with you, before you, beside you, behind you, bearing you up, rising above, within you. I will be with you." 

Whatever the circumstance, God's gonna meet you - God will never beat you... Your project is to look for the ways that God is meeting you right now.

Jesus’ story is the template for your life, it is your archetype, it is your path. They might write you off. They might try to forget you. They might denigrate you, reduce your being, anything to put you in a position of anything but a child of God. But God’s not worried. And we know this because: when they did the same thing to God’s only begotten son: It. Didn’t. Work.

At the end of the day, if you’re in your own pit, just know this: the God who’s not worried has already decided in your ultimate victory. You. Will. ALWAYS. Always get up. 

You are getting up. Let God show you how. 

Be ready to encounter someone else and know that you are loved, yes, but for the sake of loving.
