New Covenant UMC

The poet Mary Oliver asks in one of her works, “what are you going to do with your one wild, precious life?” The Apostle Paul is trying to spread the Gospel news of new life in Christ but new Christian communities like the one in Corinth frustrate him with their petty feuds and small thinking. “Open yourselves!” is the message. What do you tend and nurture? Fear or hope? One leaves us small, the other offers us expansive possibilities!
