REBOOT: Creating a New Normal
October 18, 2020

Have you ever looked at an ant through a magnifying glass? They’re terrifying! Crouch down low, get your face near the ground, peer through the glass, and take a look for yourself.

What do you see? Huge pinchers and menacing eyes!  Did you know they can carry 20x their own bodyweight? And when they fight, they fight to the death! Ants are fearsome creatures!

That is…until you stand back up again. Then you can see things from a new perspective.
Depending on how you look at them, an ant is either a terrifying beast or a total non-issue.
The way you look at the ant – your perspective – makes all the difference!

As we continue in our series REBOOT this week, we’re taking on the oft-avoided and sometimes taboo topic of politics. In a culture that is increasingly divided and where hostility toward those of differing views continues to grow, how do we as followers of Jesus engage in a way that honors Christ? What lens do we use to examine the issues, and how does it shape what we see and the way we respond?

I hope you’ll join us this Sunday as we worship together and look to the Word of God for wisdom as we navigate the divisiveness in our nation and seek to live out the hope we have in Jesus.
