Bishop Frank Logue, our chief pastor of central and south Georgia visited Saint Paul's this week. He talked about how God looks on the content of the heart. The bible is full of stories of unlikely heroes. We are all unlikely heroes called to serve using our God-given talents.

Without credentials, power or answers we are called to participate in God’s redemption. The world already has a savior, and it isn’t us, but he saves through us.
God meets us exactly where we are just like the Samaritan woman at the well. Living water can wash us through and through, demonstrating the universality of God’s family
Even though we are a mess, we must tell the story of our ongoing redemption. We are always becoming, showing we cannot do this alone.
Thank God for Jesus.

We are Christians by faith, not genre.
If we believe God’s word is true, we follow the commandments to love God and to love people.
Our testimonies would not exclude or put boundaries around people.
During Lent we take a sacred pause to strengthen our faith. Faith is not meant to be compartmentalized into genres to fit our preferences. We are Christians by faith, not genre.
Reflections on our country at war.
We pray for healing.
We pray for the needs of others
We converge our resources to God together, full of grace, bringing the peace of Christ in the world.

Jesus resists temptation in the wilderness. Jesus doesn’t “prove” himself. He shows the power of grace and steadfastness. Mirroring his love and grace, we can triumph over evil.

The story of the transfiguration helps us make sense of things in our world. When life is out of our control, hope can become fear and confusion, but we trust Jesus is near.
We are to get up with courage and perseverance, not because we are safe but because Jesus is with us through it all.

The Song of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis) is a prayer of praise spoken by the prophet Simeon in Luke 2:29-32 when he sees the infant Jesus at the Temple. It is a declaration of fulfillment and readiness for death, acknowledging Jesus as the promised salvation, light to the Gentiles, and glory of Israel.
Father Biddy offers the idea of a second song from Simeon; one that recognizes the struggle. During this time in Israel, there are hardships and those in power are actively choosing darkness. Simeon’s perseverance of hope allows him to see Jesus clearly. While the Kingdom of God has come near, we must continue to seek truth. When God’s salvation has come, the nations will see the truth and the faithful will see glory.
God calls us to be the light shining in the darkness. The light shall overcome.

Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.
A relationship with God is not a checklist. Checking the boxes won’t cut it. We cannot have blind eyes. We activate our relationship with God by seeking justice and rescuing the oppressed.
God is right where we are always. The mystery of God is not hidden. God’s love and compassion is seen in Jesus. So listen carefully as God calls you to be light in dark spaces, a spiritual conduit of His kingdom.
Love God and love people.

Jesus sends his followers out as sheep amid wolves. But he doesn’t send us out alone. God’s presence in our lives is guiding us through our response to struggle.
Salvation lies in staying faithful. We love our enemies. If we share the radical love of God, we find a purposeful life. By proclaiming and embodying the kingdom of God, we change hearts.

Jesus is the light of the world. Our light will illumine others, so God is known, worshipped and obeyed.
The light of Christ is the divine energy and power of God through Jesus. Be the light in the dark. The light guides toward truth and love. It shifts our heart posture to see others in a new way. Commitment, courage and compassion fuel our light.
