This week we were in Jericho as Jesus meets Zacchaeus. The implications are that God's grace is abundant to social pariahs. That grace creates an inner desire to personally make all things right. Practically, we discussed political corruption and overcoming addiction 1/2

This Sunday I will be in Luke 19 looking at the story of Zacchaeus. This Jesus Mafa art causes me to ponder just how Zacchaeus was despised and rejected by the crowd in Jericho. I have to look for him in picture while Jesus quickly see him

Wow! I have felt this for years. A few times I have tried to explain this but fallen short. I see this all the time now. Where are our pastors?

For many years I assumed any person of faith could get to church on Sunday. Over the last years I have concluded there R a variety of good reasons that believers R unable to make it to a local church ranging from work schedule, disability, illness, and persecution www.youtube.com/shorts/QZdUo...

This is today’s ordinary winter sunrise from the Wilton Free Church parsonage. In North Dakota the ordinary is magnificent! I’m so thankful to be here, and feel merciful to those who don’t have such stunning snow to reflect morning light

This week we were in Luke 18. Persecution is coming. Believers will face injustice. Jesus tells a parable that makes sense when judges can be bought, extended family is your social building block, and inheritance is manipulated. Sound familiar? www.youtube.com/live/uFplfsf...

We read the Lectionary each week for our Table Talk. I am surprised each week the relevancy of the texts to our context. This week one reading discussed the nations giving glory to God. That's the reason we started these table talks www.youtube.com/shorts/Gpr15...
