HEAR it on Sunday. USE it on Monday.

Note_book_sunday_mondayOn Sunday Pastor Michael shared a story he heard Friday morning on National Public Radio. You can listen to his sermon here. A story that brought new meaning to Jesus' command - "If someone takes the shirt off your back, give him your coat as well." Matthew 5:38-42.

The story is called "A Victim Treats His Mugger Right" - if you didn't hear it, take a moment and read that story - you can find it by clicking here. Essentially, the victim of a mugging treats his assailant to dinner and walks away with the weapon in his own hand.

What does it mean to treat people with the compassion that Jesus commands us? In what ways does this challenge your understanding of following Jesus?

**This is a new weekly feature. You will find it each Monday Morning on our blog. Each week you can come here to find tools and resources to help you incorporate the things you hear in worship on Sunday to your daily walk of faith during the rest of the week. You will find a variety of scripture readings, questions, illustrations, prayers, and stories; they all connect to the themes from Sunday's worship. Hear it, Use it, GROW!
