Third Sunday in Lent
March 15, 2020
Civil Rights Leader John Lewis described love this way: 
Love is the willingness to sacrifice, to be beaten, to go to jail, to be killed for the betterment of society rather than live out your life in silence. The Civil Rights Movement, above all, was a work of love. Yet, even fifty years later, it is rare to find anyone who would use the word love to describe what we did.

-Congressman John Lewis
To this day, Lewis echoes his mentors in calling Americans to get into "good trouble."
What is your emotional response to this sentiment?

How is God inviting you to respond?

Prayer
How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses to help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. 1 John 3:17-18
