The New Church Normal

August 19, 2020

Now that we have made it through the first half of 2020, people are constantly asking – when will we get back to normal? I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think we are going to return to it, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing for your life, family, or church. It’s time to go the 2nd mile in the new church normal.

Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. In a loud and harsh world, gentleness is the quiet strength that heals wounds, opens hearts, and reflects Jesus.

Faithfulness is rare in a world driven by trends and convenience. But God isn’t looking for flashy—He’s looking for faithful. Steady. Loyal. Committed. The kind of person who shows up, keeps their word, and finishes well.

Goodness isn’t about being nice—it’s about doing what’s right. When the world bends the truth and applauds compromise, goodness stands firm. It’s courage rooted in conviction.
It’s time to go the second mile in displaying goodness.

Kindness isn’t weakness—it’s Spirit-powered strength that chooses compassion even when it’s inconvenient. A kind person doesn’t just feel sympathy—they show it in action. When the world is cold and critical, kindness makes us stand out.

Few things test us like waiting. Whether it’s delays, disappointments, or difficult people, impatience sneaks in fast. But biblical patience isn’t passive—it’s choosing peace when life doesn’t move at your pace.

Peace isn’t found in a quiet room or a perfect plan—it’s found in a person. Jesus doesn’t just offer peace; He is peace. And when everything around you falls apart, His peace can hold you together.
