John 3:16 – Read It!
If you’ve watched any sports events over the last decades, you’ve seen banners held high, calling attention to a famous passage in John’s Gospel.
A Closer Walk (John 2:13-25)
Early in St. John’s gospel, we see Jesus resolutely striding into the outer courtyard of the Jerusalem Temple, a space bordering on what the Jewish people acknowledged to be God’s own Dwelling place.
Gratitude: The Key (1 Cor. 9: 16-19; Mk.1:29-39)
A question: what is it that allows people to keep on giving? What is it that motivates someone who isn’t receiving any reward or payment to continue being generous?
The Collaborative Instinct
There have been times in both the history of the Jewish people and in our own Church when there was a wide dividing line between the clergy and the rest of the believing people.
Inside Authority (Mark 1: 21-28)
There is a phase to describe what often happens when somebody who is believable begins to talk: “When he or she stands up to speak, everybody listens!”
Gospel Readiness (1 Samuel 3:3-10)
Am I more often alert to the sounds of God’s presence? Or do I not pay much attention to the ways God is directing me?
The Light That Beckons (Mt 2: 1-12)
Stories can bring delight. And if there ever was a story that has sparked delight among believers, it’s the one about those three travelers from the East…
Sending (Isaiah, 61; 1 Thessalonians, 5)
Have you ever been “sent on a Mission?” – picked out and entrusted with something to say or do?
Active Waiting (Mark 1:1-8)
The Advent message? Not only to welcome the Lord’s arrival, but also to take the kinds of steps which ease His birthing among us.
Already and Not Yet (Mt 25: 14-30)
A phrase often on Jesus’ lips: “The Kingdom of God” — or in another iteration, “the Reign of God, His Father.”
Fuel For The Light (Matthew 24: 42-44)
Jesus parable in Matthew’s chapter about the 10 torch-bearing virgins concerns actions to be taken in the face of a delay — for us a delay in the coming of The Lord, Jesus.
