- Molly reads our scripture passage this morning
- Eli illustrates the story
- Amy shares how God's Family welcomes everyone
- She reminds us that the church is only God's Family when Jesus is at its center
- And that if Jesus is not at the center of our church, we are inviting them into our own kingdoms, rather than God's Kingdom
Amy shared a set of questions for further reflection on this topic:
- Are we open to God acting in ways we don’t expect?
- Are we okay with changing the way we do things to respond to the new movement of the Spirit?
- Are we listening for God to speak in prayer and Scripture?
- Do we love each other?
- Do we actively seek and practice forgiveness?
- Do we have hope?
- Are we okay with admitting our limits?
- Do we trust that God will make up the difference when we fall short?
