This alone doesn’t warrant a warning… but I want you to listen very closely to these words, because this is quite possibly… the strangest parable Jesus ever told. Luke ...read more

    The Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C; The people of the world live lives that are DOWNWARD and INWARD. As God’s people, redeemed by Jesus’ blood and righteousness, we can live our lives UPWARD and OUTWARD.

    Imagine a ship at sea. The clouds are dark, the wind is strong, and the waves are rough. Is the ship in danger? It all depends on direction—which way it is headed. If it is going toward the harbor, it’s safe. If it is pointed toward the rocks, it’s in trouble! Life is like that. Two identical ...read more

    Bale 23-09-01 Single-mindedness This morning’s Gospel reading is the Parable of the Unjust Steward: Luke 16:1-13 This is one of the most difficult parables to understand - because at first blush it looks as if Jesus is condoning sharp practices.

    Parable of the dishonest manager: The Kingdom of God works on different principles than we’re used to. Efficiency, practicality, and self-interest are not the core values of the Kingdom. God expects a lot more for us (and from us) than we expect him to.

    Each of us has to serve somebody. Jesus in Luke 16 gives us some real incentive to make the Lord God our only God.

They heard words on the surface but didn’t realize what they meant in terms of Jesus giving His body as a sacrifice and ...read more
