The Presidential election was this past Tuesday. It’s true the election of Donald Trump as President for the second time will shape the context in which individual Christians and the church are to live out Jesus’ mission in meaningful, tangible ways. Yet, the church’s mission remains the same. The person who wields Presidential power doesn’t have power over Jesus or the work Jesus’ people do. This week, Pastor Dennis talked about how, through our homes and in our neighborhoods, we’re still to build active Kingdom outposts that take on Jesus’ work of reconciliation, repair, and renewal. It’s work that is inefficient, slow, and oftentimes foolish, where sometimes only one good deed out of every thousand seems to make an impact. Yet, the slow work of repair and renewal is ours to do, day after day, week after week, year after year, until we return home to Jesus.
