SUNDAY’S COMING This week as we move from Matthew 5 to Matthew 6, Jesus invites us into stunning intimacy with our heavenly Father.  We’ll see that God is both glorious and gracious, mighty and merciful. And, we’ll engage in the most basic of practices that followers of Jesus pursue.  Our morning prayer time, especially, will trace the familiar phrases of what we …

MONDAY’S HERE I saw my first leaf turn today!  A bright hue of red welcomed me down 5th Street SE at lunch.  I absolutely love the fall season.  I’m suppose, in part, because I love football (though I never played a down).  But Fall means harvest, the fruit of hard work is finally seen. In ministry, in parenting, in many …

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN… Ann and I enjoyed the company of 20 people yesterday afternoon.  Most (not all) were north of 80 and good number were north of 90.  We enjoyed some devotions and prayers, especially for our church’s teenagers, and sweet fellowship with the Trinity members who live at Landsmeer.

SUNDAY’S COMING I have so been looking forward to Sunday’s message on Matthew 5:1-16. In these words, Jesus speaks a new world order into our hearts and lives. He gives we who follow him our basic identity and pattern for life. We are salt; we are light. What difference does it make? We will also celebrate communion. Communion is a sacrament …
