(30) Good News: It’s in There Somewhere Artwork

Light In Your Corner

Join Lauren and Monica as they discuss how to live in and bless our surrounding culture while carrying the LIGHT that cannot be overcome.

We are two women joining Jesus in our neighborhood while navigating family, friendships, work, creativity, and chronic health issues. We don't always do things right the first time, and we have a borderline-unhealthy relationship with British mystery novels, but with God we can find the humor and the heart behind most things. Light in Your Corner is our first podcast.

(30) Good News: It’s in There Somewhere

Good News: It’s in There Somewhere

You guys, Luke 12 has some words. Jesus warns and comforts, warns and comforts, warns and comforts. Today we talk about both and we have some good news for you:

The comfort wins.

Where is the comfort when we are lonely and forgotten? When we are in need? When we are divided?

It is where it always was: in Jesus. And you and I have Jesus in abundance.

So then we ask, where does our neighbor find comfort?

The answer is the same, but the vehicle for their comfort might look a lot like you.

ALSO:

God sees it–He sees your service.
Trusting God gives us freedom to let go and help others.
What can we do to show people that they matter? How can we connect?
Is it even a parade if it doesn’t have candy?

LIGHT: It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom! There is nothing to fear.

ACTION: Reach out to someone who might be lonely. If it is you, still reach out!
