Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-12
Speaker: Andrew Jones, AndrewJ@ChristCommunityKC.org
>> God made you for Monday.
>> A Church for Monday.
>> Monday matters to God.
>> Monday is an opportunity for God’s people.
"The new life into which we are baptized is lived out in days, hours, and minutes. God is forming us into a new people. And the place of that formation is in the small moments of today… We tend to want a Christian life with the dull bits cut out. Yet God made us to spend our days in rest, work, and play, taking care of our bodies, our families, our neighborhoods, our homes. What if all these boring parts matter to God? What if days passed in ways that feel small and insignificant to us are weighty with meaning and part of the abundant life that God has for us?"
- Tish Warren, The Liturgy of the Ordinary.
>> Monday is the mission of the church.
