Hearing and following God’s call as presented by the Vacation Bible School
Blessed by God, we work for justice, we are nonviolent and we even dance for joy in the face of great injustice. Our dance itself is a witness against evil.
We are grateful for the nation we live in. But our true citizenship is in another “nation”: the Empire of God, which is radically inclusive of all nations and peoples and races, all walks of life. That Empire and its inclusivity will always set us at odds with the exclusivity and injustice of the earthly nations we live in, and call us to live prophetically for the sake of God’s Empire.
God’s call often re-directs. We hesitate to leave our own path since it’s familiar, and we don’t know if we have the power to heal and do justice. But when we trust and allow God to re-direct us, and let God’s power (not our own) flow through us–it changes the world.
In the storms of our life Jesus is in the boat with us— sleeping. What does that suggest to you?
God has hidden in you a seed of God’s glory, God’s love. It comes to life and bears fruit without your knowing how. It starts tiny but becomes great. Attend to it.
When Jesus says we are all family it’s not just sentimental: it implies absolute loyalty and obligation to others as strong as to our own kin. It also means we belong more deeply than we fear.
