"Getting Closer to the
Kingdom of God"
Focus: Mark 12:28-34
There are two commandments that stand out amongst the rest. We are taught that there is one God, which besides, there is no other. The first commandment is "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength". God doesn't seek perfection in humanity. God seeks that which is imperfect showing up in love, in the best way that we can. It's our call to always challenge ourselves to a more intimate space with the divine.
The second commandment is this, "you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Scripture makes it clear, there is no commandment that is greater than these. Loving God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength seems reasonable; we can do our best to show up for a love like this. What about our neighbor? A neighbor that we get along with, well, that's fairly easy; but are we loving them as ourselves? How about a neighbor that let's their dog poop on our lawn? One that is noisy? One that is messy? Are we to love those neighbors as ourselves too? Well, yes, we are. If we love God with all of our being, our second call is that we love that which was created by God as well; showing up as best as we can. You might be asking yourself, "how is it possible to love others that we don't see eye to eye with?". In this week's sermon, we challenge ourselves to get closer to the kingdom of God, by challenging ourselves to pay closer attention to these two commandments.

"Watching The Ways of God"
Focus: Mark 12:38-44
Life on earth is both a gift and a challenge. We live in a world that holds magnificent beauty, where people are capable of great love, giving, helping, teaching, healing and making the world a better place through being conscious of choices and treatment of others. Some do kind acts out of the goodness of their heart. Others, partake in acts of righteousness simply for the look of it, leaving those around to wonder if they are truly authentic and worthy of respect. Another portion of humans, seemingly, don't care for the greater good at all. Many of us have moments that are a mix of these things that shift throughout our journey.
The ways of God are consistent. God doesn't care about earthly constructs like net worth, social status, class or position(s) held. God is looking at the heart of things. One who has a thousand dollars in the bank, gives a hundred out of abundance and it is good. Another has much less and little to live on and gives all that they have. This is of particular interest to the divine. God doesn't see either of these gestures as a financial value, rather God looks at what we have to work with and watches to see how much we are willing to give of it. The sermon this week, will reflect on how a widow giving two pennies became a teaching to the disciples "that she had given the most to the treasury", even after the crowd and the rich had put in much larger sums. Not even the teachers of the law were capable of a lesson so profound. Blessed be the Lord, God Almighty for seeing us through a lens, far greater than the one of this world.

New at UEC! 7:30PM-Wednesday Night-Bible Study Via zoom
Wednesday Night Bible Study: Begins 11/3/2021
Have you ever picked up the bible to read the Word of God and found yourself saying, "what does that really mean to me, in my life and the world today"? Are you curious to experience a journey into the reality of the lives of those who lived during ancient biblical times? Are you searching for understanding and the meaning in all of it? Is it your time to dive in for the first time or are you being lead to re-enter the waters of divine revelation? If this sounds like you, you are not alone!
Bible Study is beginning again at UEC! We enter this journey into a study of scripture with an open mind and heart; welcoming all to a seat at the table of our virtual Bible Study. Together, we will engage in the study of scripture, within the context of life then, bringing forth our understanding of what that means to us, in the here and now. We seek to listen for how God was speaking thousands of years ago and learn to hear that very same voice, as it has traveled through evolving and changing times, into our lives and world today.
The Word of God, lives. It is an essence of the Spirit that has taken a journey through the times. We understand that scripture is humanity's discernment of God through the lens of what they understood to be life's constructs, in their time of existence. As the Spirit has evolved humankind, we have changed and so have the ways we have been called to love. Together, we have created changes in our world that continue to draw us toward fighting the good fight, to be more of a reflection of a Christ-like world. One thing hasn't changed; that one thing is God and the way we are called to live. Each step in a more loving direction teaches us that we must continue to walk forward in the movement of the Holy Spirit.
UEC Bible Study invites you to join us each week, where we will journey into the Word of God with a topic related to our focus scriptures. Together, we will study scripture in context and follow our time with an open discussion, ending our sessions in prayer.
Our faith may be thousands of years old, but are thinking is not!

Life is a journey filled with hills and valleys. There are times of joy, laughter and goodness and times of despair, pain and suffering. This is the reality of life on life's terms and part of the cycle of life itself.
None of us are exempt.
God knows each hair on our head and is concerned with both the smallest and grandest aspects of our daily lives. Please take a moment to let us know how we can pray for you or a loved one.
