| Grace and peace, This past Sunday we reached into the bag of Jesus' parables. We picked up a handful of seeds and we cast them into the world with abandoned grace. We have entered into a season within a season. We are in the season of Jesus's parables. So those with ears... get ready to listen. I've been thinking a lot about seeds. I'm wondering about seeds that are being sown around us. Sadly, too often, news or social media shows handfuls of deceit, hate, mistrust, and misunderstanding being cast all around us. The question is this: do we allow these seeds to germinate within our hearts? Or, do we hear the gospel as a type of Round-Up that stops weeds from sprouting up. Or... do we hear the gospel as the light that redirects our actions so that we grow by God's abundant love? The invitation for us is to nurture the love with the living waters that course through our souls. May the seeds of grace grow in your during this season as we grow in Christ together. May our better angels reach out to protect those in need, Pastor JJ |
