Not Too Far From Here

This morning we kicked off Local Missions Month with a simple but challenging reminder:

The people in need of God’s love — and our help — aren’t far away.

They’re not across the ocean or in some other city.

They’re our neighbors.

Our classmates.

Our coworkers.

They are not too far from here.

Psalm 107 tells the story of a God who delivers people in trouble — again and again.

Matthew 25 reminds us that every act of compassion, every moment of care,

is not just kindness…

It’s an encounter with Christ himself.

“Just as you did it to one of the least of these… you did it to me.”

Whether you pack a diaper bag, deliver food, check on a neighbor,

or simply pray, “Lord, show me someone I can help today” —

you are part of that holy work.

Let’s keep building tables, not fences.

Let’s keep making room for hope.
