Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me - everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NLT
This isn't Paul big noting it...this is Paul saying you've heard all the important stuff, you know what you need to get on with...don't spend the rest of your day / week / year waiting for more knowledge, more info, another sermon... get on with it!
You know Jesus, what He was about, represent Him in your world whatever that looks like. He came to be a servant - so serve. He came to love and bring healing and restoration - so do that in whatever way you can in whatever place your in...that's your act of worship...and mine :)

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
