Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?” Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.” So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

While there are certainties in faith, at the heart of the Christian story is also paradox. Jesus invites us to look beyond the polarities of either and or in order to embrace the difficult, wondrous dissonance of and. This 6-day plan explores the "and"—of the incarnation, of the kingdom, of grace, and of lament—and invites us into the practice of wonder and worship.
What does it look like to walk with God faithfully? While there will certainly be moments of extreme faith, most of the time it looks like one act of obedience at a time. Read stories from Southeast Christian Church about people who are using the time and talents God gave them to worship Him—one at a time.
