Jesus calls his disciples onto a hill where he commissions them to go into the world.
Matthew records the final appearance of Jesus on a mountain. We don’t know which mountain it is but we know that he had invited his disciples to meet him there.

Our union with Christ in Ephesians 2:5-7 shows us what God has done and why he has done it.
ARISE! GET UP! COME FORTH! John 5:1-9; John 5:21-30 The miracle [literally “sign” (John 4:54)] of the healing of the boy at Capernaum is immediately followed in John’s account with another healing, this time at an unspecified feast in Jerusalem (John 5:1-9). THE NEED (John 5:1-5). A man who ...read more

What's important to Jesus? What does he want for us? Also, Jesus here passes the baton to his Father. His job is done, and the Father must complete it.
Let's start this morning by reading John 13:1-5 (NRSV), and remind ourselves of where we are in the gospel of John: Now, before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved ...read more

Instead of healing the paralytic, Jesus first meets his most important need, the forgiveness of his sins, much to everyone's annoyance.
In our Gospel Lesson this morning, we meet up with Jesus just after he returns “home.” We don’t always think of Jesus having a home, but this was not his own anyway. In this case, home seems to mean Peter’s home in Capernaum. Shortly before our Gospel, both Matthew and Mark share a similar record ...read more

A sermon for the period between Ascension Day and Pentecost
In many ways the period between the Ascension Day and Pentecost is a period of waiting for the church. I liken it to being in the third trimester of the pregnancy out of which the church is birthed. The first trimester is the period between the birth of Jesus and his death. The period during ...read more
