Do Unto Others

Two Worship Services, 8:30am & 10am

“Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.” (Proverbs 27:19)

Our world seems to be consumed with division–often typified in the colors red and blue. Rather than stay in our monochromatic silos, the Golden Rule in scripture challenges us to engage in conversation and seek to create whatever common good we can with our relatives, friends, and neighbors who we might consider to be on the “other side” politically and ideologically. As we attempt to come together, the idea is not that we are obliterating either one or trying to change each other, but rather we discover the beauty that can be created when we work together to make the world a better place. The “purple space” is where we cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect, and love for one another and for the good of all the world, no matter what.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to demonstrate a genuine love for one another. Jesus’ life and teachings embody the fruits of the Spirit, such as forgiveness, unconditional love, patience, and compassion. Generally, Scripture encourages us to renounce our fleshly desires—like idolatry, pride, hatred, and discord—and instead observe the fruits of the Spirit. As Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Through this series, we’ll learn to listen to one another with empathy and humility, but ultimately follow and try to mirror the example that Christ sets for us.
