Jesus-Shaped Life: Almsgiving

As we walk through the season of Lent, we will craft and practice
experiments in living a Jesus-shaped life. We live in the
influence of a world teaching us to put ourselves first and seek
our own safety, comfort, wealth above all else, but the Christ
Hymn in Philippians 2 teaches the way of Jesus is one of
self-emptying, self-giving love. How can we engage the
traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as a way
of opening ourselves to be formed by Jesus to be like Jesus for
the sake of the world?


This week, we considered the practice of almsgiving. The way of
Jesus draws us into a life of practical, embodied love that
doesn't focus on our own gain but the good of those on the
margins. 


If you have not yet crafted an experiment. It is not too late.
You can find the handout here. We also want to experiment
together in community. You can form your own group for this
experiment, or we would be happy to help you get connected.
Whether you form a group or would like help, will you let us know
here? This will allow us to send some reminders and help support
you along the way.
