First Christian Church - Disciples of Christ (JCMO) We are a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one Body of Christ, we welcome They used to say there is "no creed but Christ."

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of about 800,000 Christians in 3,800 congregations in the United States and Canada. Two groups of frontier Christians came together in 1832 to form the foundation of today's Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They shared the view that people should not be excluded from fellowship in the church because they didn't adhere to a particular human-made creed. Today's Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) still thinks that way. We study the Bible to deepen our connection to God through Jesus Christ, and to discover what God wants us to do. We believe that God is calling the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of the 21st century to be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. Our mission is to be and to share the good news of Jesus Christ, witnessing, serving and loving from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth. We are devoted to strengthening our congregations for this mission. Some Disciples have liberal views. Others have conservative views. But we share the belief that we are united in our faith that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Savior of the World."

This week, we’ll wrestle with a God who takes injustice seriously, a faith that doesn’t shy away from hard questions, and a community called to live differently. What do God’s justice, our own weakness, and the way we treat one another have to do with each other? Let’s find out as we read together!

My star word is "Hopeful" which has had two faces this year. First I struggled being hopeful looking at the deep, unapologetic political divisions in our country.

On the flip side were so many small ways people put aside politics, rolled up their sleeves, and just got things done for the betterment of their neighbors.

There's hope in that.

Some of this week's readings wrestle with a question we still ask today: If God is powerful and good, why doesn't God just put a stop to all the terrible things happening in the world?
