We often think of love as a feeling, but what if it's actually an action? This next week's sermon explores the powerful concept of Agape love, which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the "Beloved Community in action." As we examine the essential components of building a strong community, we'll see that none of them can stand without the "mortar" of justice. This is a call to not only love our neighbors, but to actively work to eliminate the barriers that separate us.

In a world that often feels disconnected, how do we build a community that feels like home? This past Sunday, we looked at the early church in Acts 2:37-42 and saw a picture of what's possible when people come together to learn, grow, and give. This week, let's go deeper into the call to create spaces where everyone belongs. Read on for some reflection questions and two practices to help you get started.
