12/28 Limericks: Kingdom of Leaven
StandardIf we want to inherit heaven
We must learn to recognize leaven
Each small compromise
That clouds up our eyes
Til we can’t tell cursin’ from blessin’
The reason we’re trapped by this thing
Is we have made comfort our king

My pain quickly cures
Regardless of Your suffering
So we must learn to face our hurt
To let Christ His Kingdom assert
As He heals our eyes
We soon recognize
Our crosses to crowns He’ll convert!

As I feel your pain
My loss turns to gain
As Christ demonstrates Who is boss

StandardWe continue this Season’s focus on The Great Reset of Education at Tuesday 6/9, 1 PM Pacific. In particular, we are wrestling with hard questions of justice and repentance in light of the recent killing of George Floyd.
Question: How do we teach people where they need to repent?

- Judging behavior from a position of Authority
- Judging ourselves from a position of Vulnerability
