   Summary: How many Gods do we believe in? One: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

   Summary: When someone says that he’s going to die and then rise from the dead to live forever, and he says that no will take his life but that he will give it and then take it back again, and then that happens, you’d think that nothing in this weird world could ever approach that for weirdness. But you’d be wrong. Today, we’re going to find out how what happened 50 days after he rose changed the world. Again.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

   Sally and I began co-producing these podcasts, on Streams of Living Water Radio, at the beginning of the global pandemic in March of 2020. We have now produced 218 videos, podcasts and blogs!

   We wanted to provide a sense of connection and encouragement and an opportunity to reflect about what it means to be a Christian when Christians were encouraged to stay home, worship online, and yet stay connected.

   Now, most churches are back to at least some provisions for physically present worship. We are still concerned by the variants and rising numbers of cases of the virus, but we are wearing masks, getting vaccinated, maintaining social distancing and the other things that show our love and care for one another. Christian community life is returning in our churches.

   I’ve been leading Sunday worship and preaching at different churches, but I will be preaching every Sunday at the same church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Monterey Park, starting on June 1st. And I will be serving there a few hours during the seek to help the congregation get some traction as we emerge in to the New Normal. Sally will be taking up a more active schedule as a docent at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in L.A. and continuing her ecumenical activities at the same time. 

   Therefore, starting in June, we will be going from two videos, podcasts and blogs each week to one of each. The one video will be moving to Wednesdays, still at the same times: 11:15 a.m. on the “Streams of Living Water” Facebook page, at 11:30 a.m. on the David Berkedal Facebook page, and at 12 noon on our YouTube channel, “Streams of Living Water”, with the podcast and blog to follow. 

   We hope that these videos, podcasts and/or blogs have been helpful to you during what we hope is now the worst of the pandemic. We look forward to continuing our service to you as we move forward into whatever comes.

   Summary: There are lots of different kinds of churches, but they are all one Church. The Christian Church is divided, but that could be a good thing. Jesus calls for Church unity as a means, not as an end. How can those things be? Today, we’re going to find out.

   Summary:  We’ve all been asked, “How’re you doing?” and said something like “Good” or even “Great!” to say that we’re fine when we’re not fine. It’s OK not to be fine. In fact, with God, in some ways it’s better. Today we’re going to find out why.
