25 09 21 - The Parable of the Shrewd Manager 20:35

3d ago20:35

20:35

The Pharisees thought that Israel needed to be more holy in order for Yahweh to save them from the oppression they faced. This meant they needed to follow the rules more closely, purging all impurity from Israel, especially by excluding the people who fell short of their laws; the exact people that were so frequently drawn to Jesus. People like tho…

10d ago23:58

23:58

Ritual and tradition that help us to transform our hearts can be incredibly beautiful, but tradition that only serves to make us feel morally superior is not beautiful. We should heed the warning that Jesus is sitting with those the institution has cast out and make more room at the table instead of missing the party.…

25 08 31 - A Place of Honour 19:15

24d ago19:15

19:15

For those in Jesus’ audience this message is a warning that they should set aside hubris and reconsider their self-appointed places at the table. But to the crippled man, the lame, the blind, and the poor this message is an invitation to a seat of honour. Sadly though, too often those who need to hear the first message do not have ears for it, and …

1M ago20:16

20:16

It’s saddening how many loud Christian voices use their influence to peddle fear and bigotry through biblical sounding arguments. Today, just as it was in the first century, it remains commonplace for the pious police to pick on people that they perceive are easy targets. Picking on women continues to be popular, so does picking on immigrants and t…

1M ago25:31

25:31

Too often the church and groups of believers seem to live in fear. Fear of immigrants, or the queer community, fear of their freedoms being curtailed, fear of oppression, fear of women in leadership, fear of ecumenical partnership, of other religions or relativism. Honestly, the church has far too often been a loud voice of fear in the community in…

38:45

Followers of Jesus should be equally grieved by the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians. And, despite what some sensationalist Christian commentators say, being appalled by the internationally sponsored mistreatment of Palestinians doesn’t make someone an antisemite or a supporter of heinous acts committed by terrorists. As Christians we should be …

The place that Mary found was more important than any worry, frustration, or cultural obligation. The place Mary found in the midst of all the work, all the mess, and all the expectation, was sacred. And it wasn’t just Mary; it was Jesus also. He wanted her to be there. And I want to be there too but there is just so much noise and hurry and worry.…

22:52

Before we get to the question of, “Who is my neighbour?” it is worth considering a modern retelling of this story. In our context it is hard to appreciate the disdain that the Jewish people felt towards the Samaritan people. Perhaps imagine this scene taking place in modern day Israel, with a devout Hasidic Jew questioning a rabbi, and in response …

Jesus isn’t complicit with boundaries defined by race, religion, borders, politics, culture, wealth, gender, or status. He sends out his messengers into Samaria to prepare the way because the people of Samaria are made in the image of God just as truly as the people in Judea. Just as today the people in Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran are made in the image…

When it came to following the rules, Jesus repeatedly upset the religious leaders. Jesus was prepared to bend the rules (as the Pharisees defined them) to honour his principles. And sometimes we must also bend the rules to honour the principles of the kingdom of God.

Every story she shares—whether it’s about healing fro…

17:16

In these last quiet moments with his friends, this was the message that Jesus felt was most important. Not a theological statement or a creed. Not a four-step program or a salvation prayer. Instead he gave them a new command: The measure of their faithfulness would be their love for one another.

Peter denies knowing Jesus before the crucifixion.

The portrait of God in the flesh being crucified is the great scandal of Easter. Jesus isn’t like the pagan god’s of the ancient world, or the violent caricature of God as believed by the Jews. Jesus is God and he humbles himself and in his death reconciles the whole world.

When the son is still a long way off, the father is waiting and watching for him. This is the only time in scripture that I can see an image of God in a hurry, he runs to embrace his lost son. But all the son can think about is his sin. He is terrified that his sin will stop him from being welcomed. He is desperate to talk about his sin and the fat…

I do not see God the same way that Calvinists see God.

Just as the proverbial hammer sees everything as a nail, the Calvinist certainty regard…
