Prayer and Fasting On occasion, every priest will have something on his mind that he would like to communicate with his parish, but the Sunday lectionary doesn’t exactly agree. The readings point in one direction, while the priest wants to go another. Today is not one of those Sundays. In fact, because…

Jesus speaks to his disciples in parables. In Hebrew, a mashal is like a riddle , intended to tease the mind into insight rather than to communicate a simple idea by means of an illustration.

I have always enjoyed watching shows or movies with a good courtroom plot. Growing up Matlock was one of my favorites! The way he handled himself in the courtroom was just fun to watch... Paul himself was one who was comfortable in a courtroom... A skilled and well trained man in law (a pharisee) Skilled…

The book of Revelation is one of the most feared and even neglected books of the Bible.

In need of a king. In today’s sermon I intend to pick up where I left off last week in terms of establishing the background of the book of Judges.
