The Wordz Project is a new film about a project in which hip-hop artists rap and speak the words of Jesus from Scripture. The movie is part of a larger effort involving musicians from various genres putting Jesus' words to song. Inspired by The Wordz Project, LinC takes a look at the words of Jesus: how we are blessed through Jesus' teachings, how Jesus' words nourish our souls, and how we experience mercy and forgiveness through Jesus' sermons and parables. Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:17-48; 23:13-36; John 6:25-40. School is winding down and summer vacation is just weeks (or days) away. With camps, church trips, sports, summer jobs, and other commitments, many youth are just as busy during summer vacation as they are during the school year. While there's some value in keeping busy and in not being idle, Scripture reminds us of the importance of rest. Next week LinC looks at God's instructions for us to honor the sabbath and explores ways in which we can set aside time for sabbath rest this summer.
