When We Feel Discouraged

Send us a text When We Feel Discouraged “But I said, ‘I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the LORD, and my reward with my God.’” — Isaiah 49:4 Isaiah is remembered as one of the great prophets of history. The legacy of his words and ministry is difficult to overstate. Generations later, his words would be the very ones Jesus used to announce and describe the launch of his own public ministry. Legacy is most often rec...

Send us a text What Are We Looking For? “When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’” — from John 1:38 What are we really looking for? Are we searching out of curiosity—drawn by something we can’t yet name? Are we looking for power, influence, or status—hoping faith will secure us a better seat at the table? Are we looking because we have a problem we can’t solve on our own—pain, fear, grief, or questions that refuse to let us go? Or is our s...

Send us a text A Prayer for Hearts That Build As we honor the life and witness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we ask God to form our hearts in love, courage, and justice, that we may help build the peaceful and faithful world to which God calls us. God of peace, You have called us to build a better world, but not with the tools of anger, fear, or hatred. Search our hearts. Remove what hardens us toward our neighbors— even the ones we struggle to love. Teach us to build with love: love...

Send us a text “Occasionally in life one develops a conviction so precious and meaningful that he will stand on it till the end."- Martin Luther King Jr Everyone who has ever helped make the world freer, fairer, and safer shared something in common: There was something that mattered to them more than comfort. More than approval. More than safety. Hebrews tells us that Moses “chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures” of an easier life ...

Built With Love, Or Not At All

2026/01/09

Send us a text Built With Love, Or Not At All “We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path.” — Martin Luther King Jr. As we seek to build a better world, there are three questions we must answer: Who are we building for? What are we trying to build? And what are we building with? We are building a world for all of our neighbors—and everyone is our neighbor, even our enemies. We are trying to build a world free from violence, injustice, and exploitation, where eve...

The Cup That Cannot Satisfy

2026/01/08

Send us a text The Cup That Cannot Satisfy “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.” — Martin Luther King Jr. In my experience, most people who become angry and bitter have very real reasons. Often, they—or the people they love—have suffered grievous harm, injury, or injustice. Other times, they simply possess the compassion and moral imagination to grieve deeply for people they have never met. When injustice leaves a bitter t...

2026/01/05

Send us a text Beyond Tribe and Nation: A World-Sized Love “Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.” — Martin Luther King Jr. From the very beginning, God told Abraham, “In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3) Love was never meant to be rationed out to those closest to us. Scripture doesn’t give us an order of love—it gives us the direction to love everyone. Jesus sh...

Their differences were not easily reconciled. In Paul’s view, loving one another in the context of a diverse and pluralistic community required them to learn how to accept one a...

Then we are invited to choose. We can choose resignation, hopelessness, and despair. We can choose to give into cynicism. Or we can choose to be a part of building the world as it should be. I...
