Inside Out

2 Comments

“Listen, and take this to heart. It’s not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up.” (Matt. 15:11 – The Message)


My mentor said it like this: “Garbage in; garbage out”. It was his way of reminding me: what I consume, I will produce.

This Sunday we begin a sermon series looking at Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. We’re calling it Inside Out: Kingdom Anatomy Lessons. It’s an up close and personal look at who’s who in God’s world, the radical expectations that Jesus has for his followers, and the harsh reality of what people’s lives are producing–or vomiting up.

We’ll explore Jesus’ teachings about the Old Testament, salt, light, anger, lust, and divorce.

So, if you’re interested in seeing what life looks like from the inside out, why not join us some Sunday between January 16th and February 27th.

Learning theology from a six-year-old

“Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.” That statement, plucked straight from the Psalms, is the first thing my son says every time he prays for a meal.

Somewhere along the line he’s memorized that text and now it’s a constant reminder, to our whole family, of God’s goodness. Simply by recalling that biblical text my son is nurturing my faith. It’s beautiful.

That’s just one of the ways I’m seeing faith being nurtured in my home.
How about you?
