Life’s transitions can be uncertain and challenging, but Abraham’s journey in Genesis 12 shows us how to navigate change with faith. Called to leave everything familiar, Abraham stepped into the unknown, trusting God’s promises without having all the details. His story teaches us that obedience comes before understanding, worship sustains us in uncertainty, and God’s plans are always bigger than our present circumstances. Whether facing a new job, a big move, or an unexpected life change, we can learn from Abraham’s faith and trust that God is leading us every step of the way.

In life, we are constantly trying to achieve peace with God by becoming holy. However, we must understand that holiness does not mean perfection, and we will always fall short of this standard. Nevertheless, if we keep striving towards Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to empower us, we can continue following the path of peace that Paul has shown us, and eventually discover wholeness or our Shalom.

When you hear the term "holy living," what comes to mind? For some, it may trigger negative associations with Christianity, community, or even Jesus. This is primarily due to how the church community has taken the concept of holy living and transformed it into something that resembles what the Jewish followers of God focused on in the Old Testament. This is the opposite of what Jesus spoke about when he was physically present as the embodiment of God on earth.

A community can be messy sometimes, but forgiveness is crucial for success. As Jesus taught us, loving God and others is the ultimate mandate. However, Paul's letter to the Philippi community offers specific guidelines for how a community of holiness should operate. Remembering these parameters as we strive for unity and growth together is essential for the community to be a reflection of the Kingdom.
