A difficult conversation handled with grace. A neighbor checked on.<br \/>\nA word of encouragement offered at just the right moment. Choosing patience when frustration would be easier. Extending forgiveness. Returning to worship. Beginning again.<\/p>\n<p>These moments may not seem particularly remarkable on their own, but this is often how God works.<br \/>\nWe are being quietly shaped by the Holy Spirit through ordinary acts of faithfulness into the people God is calling us to become. <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-29600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729_MM_Quiet-work_flower_21261ac.png?resize=469%2C264&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"469\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729_MM_Quiet-work_flower_21261ac.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729_MM_Quiet-work_flower_21261ac.png?resize=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729_MM_Quiet-work_flower_21261ac.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729_MM_Quiet-work_flower_21261ac.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, we hope transformation will arrive all at once, yet Scripture tells a different story. Seeds take time to grow. Bread rises slowly. Disciples are formed over years, not moments. God&#8217;s work is often quiet, steady, and faithful.<\/p>\n<p>Where is God shaping you today? How are you being gently invited to become a little more loving, a little more joyful, and a little more courageous?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #8c4814;\"><em>The quiet work of becoming is holy work.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Practicing Hope<\/u><\/span><br \/>\nThis past Sunday, I invited us to practice hope throughout the week\u2014not as wishful thinking, but as a way of paying attention to God&#8217;s quiet work in our lives and in the world around us. How is that practice going?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I pray you are noticing small signs of hope all around you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it has been an unexpected conversation, an act of kindness, a moment of reconciliation, a beautiful sunrise, a prayer answered in an unexpected way, or simply the strength to take the next faithful step.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the holiest thing we can do is remember that hope often shows up when\u2014and where\u2014we least expect it. As we continue practicing hope together, may God give us hearts and minds to recognize the quiet signs of grace that surround us each day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Looking Ahead to Sunday<\/u><\/span><br \/>\nThis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/worship\/this-week-in-worship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"#SundayWorshipInfo2\">Sunday<\/a> is the Tenth Sunday After Pentecost, and I look forward to sharing a message entitled<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;More Than Enough,&#8221;<\/em> based on Matthew 14:13\u201321. Faced with a hungry crowd and limited resources, the disciples assume there is not enough. Jesus, however, invites them to place what they have into God&#8217;s hands, and abundance emerges where scarcity once seemed certain.<\/p>\n<p>In a world often shaped by fear, competition, and anxiety about not having enough, Jesus invites us to practice abundance by trusting that God can multiply ordinary offerings into life-giving grace for many.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>An Invitation<\/u><\/span><br \/>\nAs we prepare for worship, I invite you to prayerfully consider someone you might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/worship\/this-week-in-worship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">encourage to join you<\/a> this Sunday, whether here on campus or online. A simple invitation can become the beginning of someone else&#8217;s journey of hope and faith.<\/p>\n<p>I also ask for your prayers as we seek to be faithful as a congregation to the opportunities God is placing before us. Together, may we continue to notice God&#8217;s quiet work among us and trust that, in Christ, there is always more than enough.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

The result is a manifesto for all progressive Christians who seek the best path for following Jesus today.<\/p>\n<p>With each chapter embodying a distinct conviction, Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on the beliefs that can deeply ground us and guide us, such as: <em>God is real and a mystery; salvation is more about this life than an afterlife; the Bible can be true without being literally true; Jesus&#8217;s death on the cross matters\u2014but not because he paid for our sins; God is passionate about justice and the poor; and to love God is to love like God.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\" style=\"text-align: center;\">____________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-size-large a-spacing-none\">Other notable group readings:<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Shelter-Finding-Home-World-ebook\/dp\/B00MTXJ9CG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1459550218&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=In+the+Shelter%2C+by+Padraig+O%E2%80%99Tuama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6272 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/201604_InTheShelter.jpg?resize=196%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"201604_InTheShelter\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/201604_InTheShelter.jpg?resize=196%2C300&amp;ssl=1 196w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/201604_InTheShelter.jpg?w=226&amp;ssl=1 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/>In the Shelter<\/a>, <\/em>by Padraig O\u2019Tuama<\/p>\n<div id=\"iframeContent\">\n<p>There&#8217;s an old Irish proverb: <em>&#8220;It is in the shelter of each other that the people live&#8221;<\/em>. In this book much-loved poet, storyteller, theologian, and speaker P\u00e1draig \u00d3 Tuama applies ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry, story, biblical reflection and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a troubled world.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth gospel tells of Jesus arriving in the room where the disciples are gathered, full of fear, on Easter Sunday. He does not chide or admonish; instead he says &#8216;Peace be with you&#8217;, which, in the Aramaic of his day, was simply a greeting. &#8216;Hello,&#8217; he said, welcoming people locked in a room of fear to a place of deep encounter; encounter with themselves, with their fear, with each other and with the incarnate one in their midst.<\/p>\n<p>Interweaving everyday stories with analysis, gospel reflections with mindfulness and Celtic spirituality with poetry, this book explores the practice of welcoming as a spiritual discipline. In particular, P\u00e1draig tells careful stories of welcoming parts of life that are often unwelcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">and<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00XSSYR50\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>When Breath Becomes Air<\/em><\/a>, by Paul Kalanithi<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00XSSYR50\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6282 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.campbellunited.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/2016_WhenBreathBecomesAir_med.gif?resize=191%2C282&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2016_WhenBreathBecomesAir_med\" width=\"191\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a>New York Times Bestseller \u2022 For readers of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Anne Lamott, a profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir by a young neurosurgeon faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis who attempts to answer the question, <i>What makes a life worth living?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade\u2019s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer.

The gospels recorded some 100 others. Some are rhetorical, needing no answer, but most were real questions posed to real people. Many of Jesus&#8217; questions are familiar to readers today, yet the context and the potential interpretations of such phrases will offer enlightenment to many.<\/p>\n<p>Organized by Biblical verse, in &#8220;<em>What Did Jesus Ask?&#8221;<\/em>, more than 70 of today&#8217;s most prominent spiritual writers, religious leaders and artists offer modern meditations on the questions Jesus asks in the Bible.
