Advent scripture readings for November 29, 2020.

This week, as you read your Bible and contemplate the works of Jesus written in our Gospels, tell yourself, “Maybe God is like this, too.” And maybe even look out at the world around you as you encounter it and look for signs of Jesus’ character on display out in the wild.

We thank you for your provision, especially when that provision has a face and a name and a family.
And we pray that we might be provision, messengers of your love and your goodness to others.

Power has never been a prerequisite for change. Hope and a belief that God’s world should be better are, but not power.

Doing what it takes to stay safe and to keep others safe can be painful. Your relatives may not understand or agree with you either, which complicates the situation even more, but I encourage you to do what you believe is right and to communicate these plans with love and understanding.
