What makes a nation powerful? God said his kingdom is comparable to a mustard seed or yeast.
In God’s kingdom something seemingly insignificant can have a big impact.
A smile, a word, a short prayer or a random act of kindness could change lives.
Small things can have a big impact!
The shared traits of the farmer and the fisherman
Journeying in our world today requires humility.
The falseness of those who do not ‘practice what they preach’ is not tolerated.
Jesus requires us to love mercy and to walk humbly with God as His followers.
For Antoni Gaudi, the visionary who designed the La Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, love is not enough.
Technique alone was insufficient, to do things right, he needed love and technique. We are called not just to love but understand the work in which we engage. Cultivate intentional practices that cultivate love for God and love for God’s people.
We hear some uncomfortable messages this week. Aaron built a golden calf when he replied to the demands of the people. When the church gets anxious, it creates golden calves. It looses celebration and festivity, trying to save itself. Paul encourages us to not be anxious but with prayer and thanksgiving make our requests known.
Peter makes a speech in this part of Acts telling people to ‘Listen”. Easter events have bought a transformation for all who believe and is the start of a new age. This transformation is for people’s lives – God’s Spirit is a gift for all.
