The Changemakers: Collaboration

Jesus didn’t do this work alone, and you can’t, either. The key thing Jesus did when starting ministry was to gather a group of people, a team of disciples. He didn’t do it alone but in collaboration. Partnerships and joining others are essential parts of changemaking. Like the African proverb: “If you want to go fast, do it alone. If you want to go far, do it together.” Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804

The Changemakers: Compassion

Changemaking starts with compassion. Jesus tells his disciples, “Take a look.” As people of faith who want to make a difference, we must start with compassion: with connection, with seeing and “suffering with.” The source of this deep compassion, and the source of strength to be a part of the change, is God’s love.

THANKFULNESS

“Thankfulness” is an original song about gratitude that begins close to the body and expands outward into creation, memory, and renewal. The lyrics ask what it means to thank one’s own body for carrying us through life, often without acknowledgment, and then move into images of flowers, mountains, childbirth, rivers, wounds, and healing. Gratitude here is not abstract; it is rooted in the physical, ordinary, and sacred experiences of being alive. Theologically, the song frames thankfulness as a practice of…

SURRENDER ALL

“Surrender All” is an original song about release, trust, and laying down what has become too heavy to carry alone. The lyrics invite the listener to set their burdens at God’s feet — the hurt, anguish, shame, and exhaustion that often get held in the body and spirit. Its imagery of bowed shoulders, undertow, waves, and unmooring gives the song a feeling of being pulled beyond control and into surrender. Theologically, the song frames surrender not as giving up, but…

The Ark and the Flood

Moves into re-creation and God’s promise to Noah, to God’s family, and to us. Godly Play Story: The Ark and the Flood What part of this story you like best? What part is the most important?

Steadfast Practice

Both spiritual practice and steadfast activism require a pattern of faithful presence over time (often with no visible result). Showing up, again and again, is the shape of both spiritual practice and activism. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804

Free and be Freed

The Christian gospel is a liberation announcement — and being set free demands a response. If life in Christ is a life set free, what kind of world is that life called to help build? Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804

Being Restful

Barbara Brown Taylor says, “In a world of too much information about almost everything, bodily practices can provide great relief. … In a world where faith is often construed as a way of thinking, bodily practices remind the willing that faith is a way of life.” We continue this week with our Easter season theme, “Come Alive!”, offering an invitation for us to come more fully alive. In the first version (yes, there are two) of the fourth commandment (Ex.…
