Jesus sets a stage for what compassion looks like in action. He demonstrates what the word means as he cares for people who were otherwise ignored and ostracized. Compassion is a part of our call as disciples and can set us free to be fully Gods people in his image and reveals the kingdom of God.

Going back to Genesis reminds us of Gods triune nature on this Trinity Sunday and a reminder in a time of racial unrest, we are all created in the image of God and of equal worth. The post Our Royal Ancestry appeared first on Lakeview United Methodist Church.

The great novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote that “there are no second acts in American lives.” But Fitzgerald was wrong. There are plenty of them. Pentecost Sunday celebrates the power of the Holy Spirit in enabling us to have not only second, but third, fourth, fifth, or more, chances to get it right. This is the power and mystery of Gods grace and powered by the Holy Spirit. The post Act Two appeared first on Lakeview United Methodist Church.

We are easily distracted from our focus on Gods plan and will for our lives. Like the Romans, we may be worshiping an unknown god or allowing the world to pull us away form worship of the living God. This season of isolation is a good time to reorient yourself and your priorities. The post Seeking God in Uncertainty appeared first on Lakeview United Methodist Church.
