    Gospel: Mark 6:45-56 (Pentecost 10: Series B)

    He should not be there. He could not be there. But there Jesus was. It must be a ghost, so they cried out. “For they all saw Him and were terrified.”

    Gospel: Mark 6:30-44 (Pentecost 9: Series B)

    This reading also shows us the heart and character of Jesus. He has compassion for the people. He sees their needs and provides for them.

    Gospel: Mark 6:14-29 (Pentecost 8: Series B)

    John prepared the way for Jesus with his preaching and subsequent arrest and death. But then the plot flips and we find hope in the fact that Jesus prepares the way for John (and for us).

    Gospel: Mark 6:1-13 (Pentecost 7: Series B)

    Whatever the obstacle, whatever the response, whatever the lack of faith, whatever the personal rejection... Jesus kept on.

    Gospel: Matthew 22:15-22 (Pentecost 21: Series A)

    It is not just a few words or a few questions coming at Jesus like a few drops of rain. It is the force of a people ready to revolt.

    Gospel: Matthew 22:1-14 (Pentecost 20: series A)

    Is ‘just as I am’ really good enough? Our answer has to be a nuanced “Yes and No.”

    Gospel: Matthew 21:33-46 (Pentecost 19: Series A)

    The parable makes obvious what is rarely apparent: God is the absolute Lord of all, and human rebellion is both wicked and futile.

    Gospel: Matthew 21:23-37 (Pentecost 18: Series A)

    To manipulate God with our questions is, ultimately, to try and get ourselves off the hook and/or God off the throne.

    Gospel: Matthew 13:44-52 (Pentecost 9: Series A)

    Jesus called Peter to be a fisher of men so more people would be caught up in God’s gracious love through Jesus. But Peter needs to remember he is also one who needs to be caught-up in the same grace.

    Gospel: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (Pentecost 8: Series A)

    When we are not running ahead of Jesus, we might be in a better position to see Jesus: Crucified and risen for sinners, among whom I am the chief.

    Gospel: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 (Pentecost 7: Series A)

    The same Word which stepped out of eternity into created time in order to speak light and life into creation when all was void and formless, that same Word still speaks.

    Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30 (Pentecost 6: Series A)

    We cannot use Jesus to defeat our problems, but as Jesus embraces us, we discover (almost incidentally) we have been relieved of our burdens.
