    Like the good shepherd of last week’s text, this week’s image of the vine is another extended metaphor, which also borrows from and adapts Old Testament imagery for Israel.

     | 1,812 views

    In the days the past, the clarion call and mission of the black church was two-fold: it served as a beacon of hope for the lost-soul seeking grace and mercy, but it also functioned as an oasis for all issues affecting the community. BMCR is That for the United Methodist Church

    Hosea 11:1-5, 9-11 11:1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 11:2 The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols. 11:3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but ...read more

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Sep 10, 2022
     | 2,859 views

    We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.

    Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,406 views
