Let Go and Let God

Sent

At the ascension we were told to wait and pray. At Pentecost the Spirit came to empower. Now we are sent. Matthew 28 and the Great Commission to go and make disciples, Luke 10 and the sending of the 72. We too are sent into the world to make a difference and share the light and love of Christ.

Summer Rhythms

Summer brings a change in temperature and also a change in the rhythms of life. Let's pause to remember the differences and the joys of summer and remember that the pace of life sometimes means to slow down and enjoy the world around you.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2120769/support]

Let Go and Let God

Sometimes I struggle to let God handle things. I pray and I try to surrender worries or problems that are beyond my control, but I find that often, way too often, I pick them back up...repeatedly. Why is it so hard to let God handle life's big problems? Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2120769/support]

Why are you standing there?

The story of the Ascension of Jesus in Acts 1 is one of my favorite. There is a line where the angels have appeared alongside the disciples who have watched Jesus ascend and they ask "Why are you standing looking toward heaven?" Basically, it is a reminder to the disciples they have been given a new mission and need to allow the Holy Spirit to work within them to transform them into what they need for their mission to go out to the world. I think we sometimes stand looking toward heaven too when we need to be looking for what God is up to next.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2120769/support]

Unknown Yet Known

In Acts 17, Paul encounters an altar to an unknown god in Athens. He then goes on to talk about the God he knows. The God Paul speaks of cannot be confined to temples or altars, his God is bigger and more mysterious and unknown, yet at the same time, God is closer than our breath.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2120769/support]
