A New Patch

Good morning!

Today is Thoughtful Thursday ( The Purpose & Community Accelerator)

(You can learn more about the 7 Accelerators here) 

Today do something thoughtful for someone else. Connect them with something they need or do something to make their day. 

This is the purpose and community accelerator. 

We each have a unique gifting that is meant to serve the community of people around us, and one of the ways to do this is by looking for opportunities to help people with your gifts, talents, resources, network, etc. 

Here is today's communion meditation.

(There is no video or audio today)

Lately it seems like the parables about not sewing a new patch on an old garment, and not pouring new wine into old wineskins keep coming to mind. 

Mark 2:21-22 says, "“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”

God doesn't want us to mix the new covenant and old covenant together. The old way of doing things was based on our performance, but in the new covenant it's all about the righteousness of Jesus, and his grace empowering us to do right. We can't mix the two. 

In today's communion we are asking God to give us insight into this parable and how to apply it to our lives the way he intended.

Adding fresh herbs to a salad can make it much more appetizing, and it also adds to the health benefits of the meal. 

I am praying for you.
