We all obey others for a variety of reasons. Seldom do those reasons have to do with love. We are too often governed by power, guilt, shame, and control. Jesus offers a new way of being faithful which is by love leading to obedience. To do this remarkable thing, we need the gift of the Spirit to guide the way.

For too many of us, our past trauma, pain, and shame keep us from the freedom God seeks for our lives. In this week's message, Jesus meets seven of his friends and provides for them in ways they could never expect. One of them even experiences the redemption of his deepest shame.

Hardship and suffering are to be avoided! The human survival instinct is a hard one to transform. Peter tells us how Jesus was able to face suffering in a transformational way. This way of suffering is a long game in which we realize that pointing our life toward God in the good AND the bad will make all the difference.
