Troubling Truth

This lesson, based on Philippians 2:1-5, challenges the church to explore how we may point people to Jesus in uncertain times.  We are reminded that God is seated on his throne and in control as we delve into three challenging truths and three reassuring realities.  The challenging truths are: (1) we live in a tense and divided country, (2) March 8 is not coming back soon (the last time our whole congregation met), and (3) we are incredibly flawed people.  The three reassuring realities that balance out these truths are: (1) righteous prayer is effective and needs to be offered for all elected leaders, (2) stay on the mission to “share the Gospel”, and (3) keep moving forward.
