  • Children of the Resurrection.
    Luke 20:27–38 (NIV)The Resurrection and Marriage27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”Recent Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Email: [email protected] you'd like to support this project, you can do so ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening!

  • Blessed are you who are hungry, for you will be satisfied.
    Luke 6:20-3120 Looking at his disciples, he said:“Blessed are you who are poor,    for yours is the kingdom of God.21 Blessed are you who hunger now,    for you will be satisfied.Blessed are you who weep now,    for you will laugh.22 Blessed are you when people hate you,    when they exclude you and insult you    and reject your name as evil,        because of the Son of Man.23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.24 “But woe to you who are rich,    for you have already received your comfort.25 Woe to you who are well fed now,    for you will go hungry.Woe to you who laugh now,    for you will mourn and weep.26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,    for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.Love for Enemies27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.Recent Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Email: [email protected] you'd like to support this project, you can do so ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening!

  • The Freedom to Love in a World of Fear.
    ScriptureDispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.Closing PrayerGod of truth and mercy,You spoke freedom into a world bound by fear.You revealed that real power is found not in domination but in love. Forgive us when we mistake control for faith, when we weaponize your name to secure our comfort.Empty us of pride and fill us with your Spirit of truth.Give us the courage to speak light into deception,to resist violence without becoming violent,to seek justice without losing compassion.Teach us the freedom that cannot be legislated or enforced—the freedom born of love, humility, and hope.May the truth of Christ live in us,until every chain of hatred and fear is broken.Amen.Recent Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Email: [email protected] you'd like to support this project, you can do so ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening!

  • The Widow's Prayerful Protest.
    Luke 18:1-8"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not lose heart. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”Recent Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find it here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Email: [email protected] you'd like to support this project, you can do so ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening!
