Palm Sunday 2013 Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Mar 3, 2014

The Journey To Emmaus

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024

The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

A Holiday For Fools

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 31, 2018
