Lighting Up Our City: Week 3-Connecting Through Your Story 

About This Week's Plan: This week, we'll explore the middle three aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit: patience, kindness, and goodness. These qualities reveal Christ's character in our interactions with others, especially during challenging circumstances. Each day, we'll examine what these fruits look like in practice, how they're developed through life's difficulties, and practical ways to express them in our relationships. Whether you're dealing with difficult people, feeling worn down by waiting, or seeking to make a positive impact, these devotionals will help you cultivate the patience, kindness, and goodness that reflect Jesus to the world.

See our website for more information about the official start dates for each plan and timing of the weekly liturgy to participate in real time.

BEMA Liturgy I — Part C

Disability is a theme from Genesis through Revelation. Through this devotion, we'll look at passages that form our theology of disability. Knowing what the Bible says about disability helps us know how to think about disabilities and how to treat people with disabilities (including
ourselves if we are diagnosed with a disability).
Let's make sure that theology has a firm foundation that will hold up when we are ministering to people with disabilities and their families. To do that, we're going to look at God's plan, God's purpose, God's provision, God's place, and God's promise in disability.
