The word cloud for this week is stark. I didn’t change anything in how it came back. Usally I’ll change the color scheme or try and get it to give me a word in a different location. This week the Black and White with Debt at so starkly contrasted to Jesus seemed correct. . . . → Read More: Sermon – “Debt” – Matt 18:21-35

As a church on Sunday’s we have been working our way through the Gospel of Matthew. After Jesus the next main character is Peter. Peter is always the closest to the Reign of God but at the same time the one who seems just not to get it. Peter can . . . → Read More: Thursday – Pentecost 17

This Sunday was our Rally Day, the start of sunday school. We have a small sunday school that is just getting restarted. Some would probably say it isn’t worthwhile, but in general I think based partly on Matt 18 and a lot on other places, that is not an option of a church. . . . → Read More: Sermon – Matt 18:1-20 – Little Ones

Today’s passage gives us a really neat view of the the Jewish synagog roots of our worship life. On the Sabbath day they went to the synagog…after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagog asked Paul & Barnabus to exhort the people.

Barnabus was from Cyprus (Acts 4:36), and at least now he is the elder of Paul and Barnabus. We say that – Pual and Barnabus – but here God sets aside Barnabus and Saul. Barny and Saul set off for Cyprus. Even prophets and teachers are not . . . → Read More: Thursday – Pentecost 16

I’m sure today’s reading in Acts has some deep theological meaning. It probably has to do with the juxtaposition of Herod not giving glory and dying and Barnabus and Saul completing the mission of mercy to the Jersusalem church (the Antioch greek church had taken a collection) and the Word increasing. . . . → Read More: Wednesday – Pentecost 16
