Left Handed Power v Right Handed Power with Pastor Ryan Braley {Reflection: Special Edition}

Central Lutheran Church - Elk River

What if there was a way of living that transcended political power and societal norms? Join us on this special edition of the Reflections Podcast as we explore the profound message of Ephesians 2:19-22, brought to life amidst the ancient streets of Ephesus. Despite unexpected technical hiccups, this unique sermon invites us to imagine a kingdom where we are no longer strangers but cherished citizens of God’s community—a vibrant realm built not on force, but on love and grace. Discover how Jesus’ transformative message calls us to prioritize our spiritual citizenship and engage with the world through a divine, heavenly lens.
The episode unfolds with a thought-provoking exploration of right-handed versus left-handed power and their profound influence on relationships and society. Through personal stories, like a poignant tale of my son Logan's aversion to reading, we witness the limitations of authoritative power in fostering genuine connection. Contrast this with the compelling narrative of a friend's compassionate offer to adopt a child, highlighting how relational acts of kindness can break through where laws fall short. It is a call to embrace both traditional and relational approaches to inspire true heart change.
As we wrap up this journey, we are invited to actively participate in building God’s kingdom, moving beyond mere adherence to societal expectations. Imagine a life aligned with heavenly values, where each action reflects our divine citizenship. Whether you feel called to political activism or personal, supportive relationships, there's a place for you in this mission. We warmly invite you to share this enlightening message and join our community at Central in Elk River, ready to celebrate and further explore this transformative path, whether in person or online.
