#88. August 16 - Rev. Shane Page Aug 16, 2020

Show notes

This week we come to the next appointed gospel lesson for the season as we contemplate Jesus’s healing of the daughter of an anonymous Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21-28) It is, of all of Jesus’s healing stories, one of the strangest and, for our eyes and ears, discomforting stories in the gospels. Tucked in size this bewildering encounter, however, is, if we will dig deep enough, good news indeed.

Show notes

This Sunday we will pick up where we left off last Sunday after Jesus fed the five thousand the loaves and fishes. This week (Matthew 14:22-33) Jesus sends his disciples into the boat while he spends an evening in prayer and solitude. While in the boat, a violent storm buffets the disciples’ vessel and Jesus finally comes, walking on the water. Down through the centuries, this passage has served as an object lesson for the vagaries of the Christian life. Let’s discuss a few themes contained within it this week.

Show notes

The Gospel reading for this week is the feeding of the five thousand (Matthew 14:13-21). This passage teaches us about the nature of God, ourselves, and our calling. We will reflect on how we react and how Jesus calls us to respond. As you prepare for worship, think about how you respond during stressful situations and come to worship to hear how Jesus invites us to respond to these situations. Rev. Brad Hinton, Pastor of Missions and Involvement will be preaching.

This Sunday we continue our journey through the parables of Jesus in Matthew. This week we will spend time reflecting on the parable of the buried treasure, the pearl of great price. How do we resonate with the main character of the story? How does the main character strike us as odd, crazy even? What is the treasure of our lives? Let’s reflect on these questions this week.

#80. July 19 - Rev. Shane Page Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

This Sunday we remain in the great chapter of Matthew 13, a chapter filled with some of the great parables of Jesus. This Sunday we will spend some time thinking on Jesus’s parable of the wheat and the weeds. It’s a parable regarding the wrongs of the world and yet contained within it is God’s curious response to them. Let’s think about these things during our Sunday live stream.
