It is Palm Sunday. Carol Cavin-Dillion gives the Children's Moment. Our guest preacher is Rev. Dr. Autura Eason-Williams, District Superintendent of the Metro District in Memphis. She explores the question, how do we live into the image and likeness of Christ? Growing up in the church we learned to act as Jesus acted. Twenty years ago there was that movement, “What Would Jesus Do?” The difference between those who do such things to check them off and those who do them out of love is relationship. Sometimes we like to serve, but it's hard for us to hear their voices, to be changed by them. Dr. Eason-Williams uses the example of Saul of Tarsus who was approached by Jesus on the road to Damascus and was changed completely. Paul was, of course, perhaps the most significant and influential early Christian, and in the letter to the Philippians (2.5-11) described the way Jesus emptied himself as our example. She gives a real-life example of that kind of change.

Why does Rich believe racial justice is vital to our spiritual formation? How is our understanding of the gospel too small?How can we help and encourage monocultural churches, and especially those in predominantly monocultural contexts live out the value of racial justice? Does failing to lean into hard conversations about race hinder our spiritual formation and specifically our ability to have an effective Missional Presence? How can defining terms help make the hard conversations more productive?How is Rich handling a growing platform in this season? Why is it critical to become more self-aware as one has more influence?

We've never walked this way before.This motto has shaped the leadership of the Metro District for months. But the trial and transition we're moving through because of the COVID-19 pandemic puts the idea in a whole new light.As we journey through this season, how can we adapt and discover new ways to walk with God? How can challenges and changes throughout our lives help us freshly see God at work and recognize the new ways He's leading us to walk with Him?How can leaning into God during these seasons help us not only endure them, but grow through them? What new ways has God lead us personally and collectively during this difficult season?How can trials help us to be pilgrims and exiles in this world, rather than being situated here? How can it sharpen our focus on the kingdom of God and grow? How can we be purposeful to discover God in this trial rather than passively trying to get past it?
