In this sermon we pause to consider the destruction of Jerusalem, the loss of Jairus' daughter, and the woman with hemorrhages.

In this episode of Brewing Thoughts, we explore the grounding of our faith is found in the pages of Scripture, and yet so often serious wrestling with the text goes by the wayside for more expedient answers. In preparation for this weeks Hebrew text we'll spend a bit of time getting familiar with the book of Job and wrestling with both what is comforting and what is troubling with this text.

In this sermon we hear about the Parable of the Mustard Seed, why it's my Grandmother's least favorite passage of Scripture, and why her dislike helps us understand it, and our faith lives better.
