Kyle Lake

What might it look like to not seek to get even? Is it even possible to travel a third way? Jesus invites us to a different way of engaging with those who do us harm - moving past "an eye for an eye" and toward a posture that transforms the relationship.

Matthew 5:38-42

Questions to consider—

Withward [Community]: How is my understanding of and engagement with the church being formed during this Gathering?

Backward [Roots]: What personal stories, Biblical narratives, or church traditions are being drawn to my mind in this Gathering?

Forward [Journey]: What is a practical next step I can take in my journey of following the way of Jesus?
