  • Stony The Road We Trod:

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022
     | 2,427 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

    Creating an atmosphere of faith can change how we view a Sunday service.

    An Atmosphere of Faith Open: Have you ever walked into the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden it gets real quiet, and you get the sense that these two people have been arguing. And you say to yourself or someone else later, “Boy the air was so thick, you could cut it with a ...read more

    The Servant-King --Jeremiah 23:1-6 Kings, Queens, Presidents, Governors, priests, and pastors are called to be good role models before their people. Unfortunately that was never the case with any of the kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and with many of the kings of Judah as well. Our ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2021
     | 1,389 views

    Like the widow in our Gospel today, she is our spiritual mentor standing there on the margins. Not afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

    On the first day of a Bible study at a suburban parish, the participants introduced themselves and described what ministries they participated in at the church.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020
     | 2,713 views

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

    Jonathan Turnbough of Garner, North Carolina, talks about the time when his mother was driving him and his sisters to school and she was pulled over by a policeman and ticketed for speeding.

  • Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,355 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,166 views

    As we think about this event, it makes sense to me that there are four groups of people present at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and each of them have a different motivation for being there and sheds light on their hearts.

    WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? JOHN 12:12-19 [Palm Sunday 2016] INTRODUCTION… cnn.com/2016/03/13/politics/thomas-dimassimo-donald-trump-protester-interview/ It is election season so there is much going on in the news about the candidates and the rallies that they hold.
