Unique - Community Presence

"Where will you engage, not hide?" - John 17:15-19

The community around us is changing. If you walk through any office, or neighborhood, or school, or shopping mall you will see people of all ethnic backgrounds and belief systems represented. So how do we respond to this changing community? We may be tempted to withdraw and hang out only with people like us - people who look like us, and believe like us, and vote like us. But that’s not God’s plan forHis followers. God wants us to engage, and love, and serve those who need Him the most. This direction is given to us by Jesus Himself as He prays for His followers in John 17. As we listen to the words of Jesus, may we be haunted by this question- Where will you engage your community?
