"Interpreting the Present Time" Luke 12: 49-56

For us to be the people that God created and calls us to be, we cannot accept unity if it is defined as uniformity. No longer is peace about making everyone comfortable, everyone happy. Luke reminds us that the Gospel is not about keeping the peace, buy about the Kingdom of God coming to fruition here on Earth just as it is in heaven.

Lessons From the Gospel of Luke (Part 3) August 7, 2022

When we realize that God’s creation is not given to us to be used and abused but rather to be enjoyed, to be celebrated, to be seen as our connection to a world larger than us, everything changes.

"Be Ready" Luke 12: 32-40

Flesh and blood are rooted in this current life where nothing lasts forver. There is a change, a change that is exactly what the Gospel, and Paul, promised. Nothing lasts forever.

"A Change is Gonna Come" 1 Corinthians 15: 51-58

Lessons From the Gospel of Luke (Part 2) July 17, 2022

Luke’s Parable of the Good Samaritan, a story of what happens when we allow religion to become our focus, is followed by the story of Mary and Martha to show us what happens when we allow service to become our focus. When either of these (service/discipleship) is out of balance, we lose our connection to our faith.
