Look Who Came To Church

Contributed by Jason Duhon on Mar 5, 2016

Today is the day when the Christian believers come back to celebrate, because we are now in Easter Tide – the time between the Resurrection and when Jesus Ascended into heaven. After the Ascension, we have ...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
