For Lent, I have been thinking a lot about the church and
church members. An eternal question
comes to mind about how much we ask of members.
Do we ask to much or too little?
More importantly what do we ask of ourselves as members of God’s family. In the last two Sundays we have read from the
end of Luke 13 and the beginning of the same chapter. How might a passage from the middle of the
chapter guide your meditations this week.
Luke 13:18 He said therefore, "What is the kingdom
of God like? And to what should I compare it?
19 It is like a mustard seed that
someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds
of the air made nests in its branches."
20 And again he said, "To
what should I compare the kingdom of God?
21 It is like yeast that a woman
took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was
leavened."
We all take on roles in the living of life in God’s
Kingdom. There are times I feel like I
am newly planted seed. I hope that I
might be the seasoning that can assist the congregation in this season of
transition. What role do you play in God’s
kingdom? Are you seasoning or are you
the flour or the leavening? Please share
your thoughts….

I'm going to have to think about this question.
