A healthy plant, like a healthy Christian, is always reaching for the Light and growing toward the Son. The flowering we call resurrection manifests who we are as people of God.
Kyler and Cris got to have a great weekend at the Meddle and High School gathering.
This week in our study of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John, we explored the core message that God is light and love, which led to a profound discussion on the Christian hope of resurrection in the face of death and suffering.
The essence of true Christian living: recognizing that God owns everything and has freely given us Christ’s transformation, moving us away from the "Rich Fool's" selfish materialism toward the cheerful and shared stewardship of all our resources.
Shifting focus from the temple as a static building, the freely shared reality is that God desires to dwell among us, using our diverse and imperfect gifts as the very means to make His presence known for the benefit of all.
Our masks aren’t just signs of embarrassment; they’re declarations of independence from God.

Christ has already secured the victory, our mission isn't to fight, but to embody our hope through gentle and respectful action.
