Luke 6:6-10 If you want to see God work in this generation we are going to have to get back to being real. Not hiding who we are; not living incognito any longer.

At the risk of starting this with a whinge, today I feel like I’ve drawn the short straw. I quite like most of Jesus’ parables but this is not a favourite.
