Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

Hey Bible Readers, this is Tara Lee and I'm coming to you from my phone.

This is not done in a studio, so the quality might not be what you're used to.

It's not scripted, so I might stumble over my words a

little bit but I couldn't not say this. I love that you're here in what is

potentially the darkest day of your life yet.

These are heavy times that we're going through specifically in America,

and I know not all of you are in America, but for those of you who are our black and brown listeners and their family members.

We see you and we hear you and we love you and we value you and we are for you and there is no but.

For those of you who are law enforcement officers or married to law enforcement officers or children of law enforcement officers.

You are seen too and you are loved too.

And we are for you too.

And whether you're a part of one of those groups or not, we all have a stake in this.

We are all kingdom people.

And we are praying for all of you.

We're not in the New Testament yet, but when we get there, we're going to see

a lot of division, a lot of division in members of the church. And one of the things that Paul

says in the midst of all that is a call to us too.

It's in 2 Corinthians 520 and he says we are ambassadors for Christ and then he gives us this charge that we are ministers of reconciliation.

So when people were sitting down to share meals with other Christ followers

who had just the week before maybe killed their family members.

We see the work that the Spirit of God can do at us.
