Josh ??? Take Heart We Exalt Thee (?) Jon Update on Beth’s twisted intestine: she’s headed in the right direction Still in pain, but thank you for your prayers (past and future) Tonight Mark 1:40-45 A man with a skin disease approached Jesus, fell to his knees, and begged, “If you want, you can make me clean.” Incensed, Jesus reached out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do want to. Be clean.” Instantly, the skin disease left him, and he was clean. Sternly, Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don’t say anything to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifice for your cleansing that Moses commanded.

Paul Jon Middle of a discussion with Simon a Pharisee, Jesus drops in a parable Luke chapter 7 Parable ends with open question As westerners we get frustrated when parables question us Luke 7:36-50 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and … Continue reading →
