"A Chickpea to Cook" by Stephen D.

For the message, Stephen read from Acts 9 and the story of the blinding of Saul on the road to Damascus. He read a Rumi poem using the metaphor of boiling a chickpea and the time it takes to bring soak in all of the flavors. Nelson Mandela provided an example of someone who did not answer racism with racism. Like the chickpea, transformative change is possible in this world and our lives. Queries: Where are you finding light in this often dark world? What opportunities do you find to share the light?
