Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4, Luke 8:40-56
Topics: Kindness, Self-Kindness, Others
God’s steadfast love transforms us, enabling us to extend patient, kind, and honest love to others, even in difficult relationships and situations.
If you’ve ever stood at the sink late at night replaying a hard conversation, wondering whether love can last through another week of deadlines, disappointments, or disrespect, you are in good company.

A “friend” might gossip about you, sharing your deepest darkest ...read more

We’ve all been there…lean times…maybe some leaner than others, but we all know what it’s like to get creative with what you’ve got. However, I don’t think any of us have ever been forced to beg on the side of a street, and that is where this morning’s lesson begins.
Grace and peace to you from God, our creator, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen. Growing up I never knew how poor we actually were. When my mom made macaroni and cheese with ranch style beans, I thought it was because she was trying to be creative, and not because that was all there ...read more
