Let's continue to prayerfully consider our first application point from Sunday's sermon on Jonah chapter 2: Have you received mercy?

Sunday Morning at 8:30 is our monthly prayer meeting.

With all the protesting happening in our country right now. This blog post from a couple weeks ago was a good reminder: Prayer is an under-estimated resource for affecting social change. Therefore, prayer is a powerful form of protest for Christians and one that should be more regularly utilized.

Pray, Plan, Follow Through and repeat.

Matthew 9:36 says of the way Jesus saw people, "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."

Maybe some of the people in your life who aren't Christians would welcome the conversation about eternity, Jesus, the Bible or church?

Imagery is powerful. It enhances and sometimes communicates more thoroughly than only words.

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world, a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Eph 5:8 For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

Matthew 5:13: You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
