Our suffering reveals God's glory, like a light in a broken jar. Instead of putting our focus on the broken jar, we must see beyond and set our eyes on the things that last.
What does it mean to study the Bible? It is not an end in itself but should point towards God. We are like hungry babies searching for milk to grow in the spirit. It is not a science or history book, but an instructional for how to live a God-honoring life.
What does it mean to share Jesus with someone? A Jesus-like encounter can be as simple as sharing a meal and offering a kind word. God gives us sacred opportunities to reflect his healing love.
Chris shares from the book of Philemon. Commands don't always work as well as appealing to someone in love. Paul goes beyond mere rules directly to the heart. Benediction written and spoken by J. Wakeham.
Though tragedy is hard, it can remind us that we are not sufficient on our own. We need the body and we need Jesus. And if we are a body, then the suffering of one is the suffering of us all.
