Go Tell It on the Mountain
“Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and every where. Go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born. “
Are you hopeful?
“When you think about the future, are you hopeful or scared? I rely on the Bible to understand what God will do and I search its pages to figure out what God expects from me.”
Be Not Afraid. Luke 21:9
In today’s Gospel (Luke 21:5-19) Jesus describes events that take place at the end time; things we would experience before the second coming of Christ.
Jesus wept.
Mary wept. Martha wept. Jesus wept. The story about Lazarus’ death and resurrection reminds us that grief is inescapable and beckons us to grieve with faith. John 11:1-44
Attitude Matters
“The parable in today’s Gospel (Luke 18:9-14) invites us to examine our attitudes. This invitation comes with a warning: doing the right thing while harboring a wrong attitude compromises our relationship with God. Bad attitudes distance us from God by making it hard for us to conceive of, let alone offer, God’s love to ourselves and others. Attitude matters.”
Can I get a witness?
“The parable told by Jesus in today's Gospel (Luke 18:1-8) has two characters: a judge and a widow. Jesus used this parable to teach the value of persistent witness.”
God’s Amazing Grace
“There is a cease fire between Israel and Hamas. What a relief! I know huge hurdles lay ahead: prisoner and hostage exchanges; securing peacekeeping troops from other countries; developing interim and long term governance; and rebuilding hospitals, homes, and sewer, water, power, and communication systems. No matter what happens next, this cease fire is a relief.”
What do you treasure?
What do you treasure? As you ponder this question, listen to these wise words from Jesus, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21
