The example of Jonah shows us both the positive and negative results associated with or choosing to either obey of disobey the command of God to share the Good News.

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).
In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs. Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more

THE GREAT COMMANDMENT Matthew 22:35-40 We have explored the liberating limits of the Ten Commandments through several chapters.
