When we look at the story of the flood in light of the cross, we see a God who is heartbroken for us in our worst moments and relentlessly committed to honoring his covenant to love and care for us and all creation.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
From the beginning our biggest human struggle has been the desire to call all the shots in our own lives which inevitably leads to judging everyone else for how they call the shots in their lives. When we trust God for his provision and honor his prohibition it frees us to live in his love.
Forces in our world want us to see each other as less than human, always competing with each other for what’s ours by preventing us from realizing that we are all on the same side. But God imprinted all of humanity with his image, binding us together as his children with the sacred task of caring for and watching over his lovingly handcrafted creation.For links and more info, visit: https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
The digital world makes money by reinforcing our differences and fueling our disgust and anger at those who are not like us. But when we listen to others with compassionate curiosity, we can help tear down the walls that divide us and build bridges to unite us instead.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
The polarization of our online world prizes judgment and unsolicited advice over kingdom values like humility and self-control. As we practice living and loving like Jesus, we grow in wisdom and learn the posture of a peacemaker.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
We are at greater and greater risk of being controlled by our engagement with digital technology yet unaware of it at the same time. God invites us to give our attention to the ways of his kingdom so we can be formed to live the lives we really want.

When everyone only shows their best, we feed the pressure on everyone to only show their best. But when we follow Jesus we opt out of the fake you pressure of social media and live freely in the image of Christ.For links and more info, visit: https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
Becoming Human in an Online World - (UN)CONNECTEDTrue community isn’t found in followers and filters. It’s found when we come face to face with a neighbor to love.For links and more info, visit: https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
Good News Proclamation: We can choose to use technology that adds value to our flourishing and contributes to the common good while avoiding whatever pushes against the same. Wise discernment distinguishes between “can we” and “should we.”For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
When life is uncertain and unpredictable, we can feel like we are wandering alone in the dark. But we will find our way forward when we notice the light of God’s ever-present love shining on an unexpected path and choose to follow him there.

Nothing can steal our joy more than judging others, categorizing people, drawing lines and placing our preferences over love. But we find that joy when we see others through the radical and shocking scope of his love. For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
The world tells us to stay in our lane, but when we respond to God’s invitation to go to unexpected places, we find ourselves in improbable roles in his kingdom of love.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
When we assume that nothing good is happening, waiting can be filled with only grief and despair. But when we anticipate the promised renewal of all things, even the waiting can be received as a gift full of God’s presence and work.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
The Church has caused so much hurt and confusion that many people want nothing to do with us. If we were known as Jesus looking people whose essence is humble, other-oriented, self-sacrificial love, they may be more open to experiencing that love through us.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
More and more people see the institutional church as less and less relevant to their daily lives. But when the people of the church become the hands and feet of Jesus serving their community, maybe others will see and believe the church matters.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
The church has often imposed power over others to expand its influence, excluding those who do not bend the knee or measure up. The upside down Way of Jesus disperses power to others by offering love and forgiveness to everyone, including those who don’t share our views.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub
As the only fully sane human who ever lived, only Jesus can save us from our insanity. When the world around us or within us feels chaotic, Jesus invites us to come and learn from Him the unforced rhythms of life in His kingdom.
When we bring Jesus questions that reveal our motive of self-interest, we shouldn’t be surprised that his answers seem to fall flat. If what we really want is the full and free life he offers, our questions will change and his answers will satisfy.
Everyone and everything we love in this life lasts only for a short time and is gone, ending in sadness and tragic loss. But when Jesus rose from the dead, he opened up the world to a new experience of love and life that lasts forever. Death, decay and destruction no longer get the final word!
If God loves all people in the greatest way possible, then why doesn’t he make his existence and presence more obvious to everyone? Because God desires more than our mental assent to his existence. He wants us to live in a loving relationship with him and to embrace his way of life.
