Paul Jon Mark 2:13-17 This is the fifth disciple that Jesus calls Get comfortable with Mark Look at the dimensions of Jesus’ ministry team Looking at reconciliation and forgiveness Feel like I need to clarify Forgiveness is NOT forgetting There are things we have done and that have been done against us And I don’t think it’s good to try to forget them When we talk about reconciliation, we always hope that it will be possible We want to turn towards it, but it always take two to reconcile Some relationships in terms of relationships and healthy boundaries I’m not looking for reconciliation and now we’re BFFs Knowing some of the stories and backgrounds I’ve heard, I’m no advising you re-engage old relationships There are certain boundaries that need to be established Reconciliation is going to happen either now of after, so we want to always turn to it, to … Continue reading →

Jon Corporate prayer for Paul (worship leader) Men’s Fraternity starting up next Saturday How do you see yourself? I often ask myself this question and wonder who has an an answer for themselves One person answered “I am the son of the living God” How many people actually see themselves first and foremost After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God. He said, “The time has come! God’s kingdom will soon be here. Turn back to God and believe the good news!” As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake. Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.” Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him. Jesus … Continue reading →

Now we move on to the text! Sidebar on Words With Friends (za and whiz) Luke 14: 1-6, then 7-14 I’m a nerd, we could dissect everything, but not everybody’s that way, so we’ll just get into the meatier stuff One Sabbath, when Jesus went to share a meal in the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees, they were watching him closely.

Paul Jon …. The apostle Paul has the audacity to say that even in this I am content I’ve learned the secret of contented ness What if Paul never met Jesus, his life would be pretty awesome Went to a good school, had a good career as a Pharisee Then he met this resurrected Jesus Jesus doesn’t promise the good life, He promises us abundant life What if Paul had told the story from a different perspective, of unaccomplished goals and unfinished plans A story were Paul wasn’t doing so good In 1909 a no longer young woman named Henrietta Sol Founding HADASA, a women’s Zionist group Channeling her unrequited love into something productive and beautiful What if her story had been about getting married to the right man?
