In Jesus’ day (as in ours), one of the lifestyle practices that set the Jews apart from everyone else in the world was their dietary laws - what God had said they could eat, and what God had forbidden them to eat. But in today’s Gospel lesson Jesus points out that even a person who strictly and carefully follows such a “holy” diet can still be a je…

The ministry of Jesus was not all miracles, prayer, teaching His disciples, and long walks in the hill country of Galilee. Sometimes He was confronted by people who wanted to argue with Him, just so they could find something they could use against Him. But when their focus was on something trivial and unimportant, as it often was, Jesus redirected …

As the sun went down on the mountainside where Jesus did the miracle of the feeding of the 5000, Jesus sent the disciples on ahead to the next town while he stayed behind to pray; they were in a boat, and he was on the mountain. Soon the disciples found themselves in the dark, rowing against a stiff wind. Jesus surprised them by walking out to them…

Not all of the Gospels (Matthew’s, Mark’s, Luke’s, and John’s) include every event in the life and ministry of Jesus (only Matthew’s and Luke’s tell the Christmas story, for instance). But all four Gospels include these three episodes in the ministry of Jesus - (1) His baptism at the beginning of His ministry; (2) the week that began with His entry…

Early in his earthly ministry, Jesus and his disciples stopped by for a visit in his hometown of Nazareth, and decided to go to the synagogue to worship. The worship leaders thought it would be good to invite Jesus to read one of the Scripture readings and make a few comments on it - but were they shocked at what he had to say! And was he ever surp…

I don’t usually title my sermons, but today I made an exception - I’ve called this one “A Tale of Two Daughters.” In the New Testament there are at least two outstanding, standard stories of restoration: Jesus’ reinstatement of Peter as one of the twelve disciples, and the parable of the Prodigal Son (I'll sketch them both briefly in the sermon). I…

On the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee is one of the nation of Israel’s National Parks, Kursi National Park. This is the area where Jesus may have performed the miracle in today’s Gospel lesson (Mark 5:1-20), when He commanded a legion of demons to leave a man they had been tormenting. The demons immediately infested a herd of pigs, who hurled …

This summer most of the Gospel lessons are in the Gospel according to Saint Mark. These readings talk about Jesus’ teachings, His miracles, and His action-packed ministry. But each of the readings also has a comment by Jesus that explains the most important point of the event. We’ll focus on these “red-letter” verses this summer. Here’s the first o…

The final letter in the “Forgiving Challenge” acronymn (“SCARS” = Sin, Confession, Absolution, Restoration, Sanctification) is another S - this one stands for “Sanctification.” “Sanctification” means “the process of being made holy”; but it also means “living life as a person freed from the threats of punishment for sins, and free to answer the cal…
