Full Text of Readings Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle Lectionary: 629 The Saint of the day is Saint Bartholomew Saint Bartholomew's Story In the New Testament, Saint Bartholomew is mentioned only in the lists of the apostles. Some scholars identify him with Nathanael, a man of Cana in Galilee who was summoned to Jesus by Philip. Jesus paid him a great compliment: “Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him” (John 1:47b). When Nathanael asked how Jesus knew him, Jesus said, “I saw you under the fig tree” (John 1:48b). Whatever amazing revelation this involved, it brought Nathanael to exclaim, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel” (John 1:49b). But Jesus countered with, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this” (John 1:50b). Nathanael did see greater things. He was one of those to whom Jesus appeared on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias after his resurrection (see John 21:1-14). They had been fishing all night without success. In the morning, they saw someone standing on the shore though no one knew it was Jesus. He told them to cast their net again, and they made so great a catch that they could not haul the net in. Then John cried out to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When they brought the boat to shore, they found a fire burning, with some fish laid on it and some bread. Jesus asked them to bring some of the fish they had caught, and invited them to come and eat their meal. John relates that although they knew it was Jesus, none of the apostles presumed to inquire who he was. This, John notes, was the third time Jesus appeared to the apostles. Reflection Saint Bartholomew or Nathanael? We are confronted again with the fact that we know almost nothing about most of the apostles. Yet the unknown ones were also foundation stones, the 12 pillars of the new Israel whose 12 tribes now encompass the whole earth. Their personalities were secondary—without thereby being demeaned—to their great office of bearing tradition from their firsthand experience, speaking in the name of Jesus, putting the Word Made Flesh into human words for the enlightenment of the world. Their holiness was not an introverted contemplation of their status before God. It was a gift that they had to share with others. The Good News was that all are called to the holiness of being Christ's members, by the gracious gift of God. The simple fact is that humanity is totally meaningless unless God is its total concern. Then humanity, made holy with God's own holiness, becomes the most precious creation of God.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

DEUS VAI ABRIR O MAR – ENCONTRO COM AS PROFECIAS 016 A profecia de hoje é fascinante. Foi feita em torno do ano 1.445 AC e está em Êxodo 14:13-14: “Moisés disse ao povo: Não temais. Estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que hoje vos fará. Aos egípcios, que hoje vistes, nunca mais vereis para sempre. O Senhor pelejará por vós, e vos calareis”. Moisés estava com oitenta anos de idade quando recebeu a missão de libertar os israelitas do Egito. Não foi tarefa fácil. Especialmente convencer os próprios descendentes de Jacó de que fora enviado pelo Senhor Deus. E depois encarar de frente o faraó egípcio, maior autoridade daquela época. Por ocasião desta profecia, as dez pragas já haviam caído sobre aquela região. Os primogênitos egípcios já estavam mortos. O faraó, finalmente, consentira em liberar todas as pessoas com os seus pertences, animais, enfim, tudo que era deles. Os israelitas, também, já haviam celebrado a páscoa e aguardavam com ansiedade o momento de partir. Êxodo 12:31 registra a ordem de Faraó a Moisés e Arão: “Levantai-vos, saí do meio do meu povo, tanto vós como os filhos de Israel!” Assim, “partiram os filhos de Israel de Ramessés para Sucote, cerca de seiscentos mil a pé, somente de homens, sem contar mulheres e crianças. Subiu também uma mistura de gente, ovelhas e gado, muitíssimos animais” (Êxodo 12:37-38). A alegria de todos era indescritível. Haviam presenciado os milagres e a extraordinária libertação proporcionada pelo Deus Jeová. Canaã, a terra prometida, seria conquistada rapidamente e com facilidade. Por isso, como lemos no verso anterior, uma mistura de gente, que não era de israelitas, aproveitou a oportunidade para tentar ganhar seu pedacinho de terra. Veio a primeira parada, o primeiro acampamento, em um lugar chamado Sucote, ainda nos domínios do Egito. Imagino que esta primeira parada foi o tempo que eles precisaram para a organização final. De Sucote, partiram para Etã, na entrada do deserto (Êxodo13:20). Enquanto caminhavam em direção à terra prometida, algo especial os acompanhava. A Bíblia conta: “O Senhor ia adiante deles, de dia numa coluna de nuvem, para os guiar no caminho e de noite numa coluna de fogo, para os alumiar… Nunca se  apartou do povo a coluna de nuvem de dia, nem a coluna de fogo de noite” (Êxodo 13:21-22). Tudo ia muito bem até surgir o primeiro problema. E que problema! A estrada acabou. O Mar Vermelho estava à frente e não havia um único barco ou navio preparado para transportá-los para o outro lado. A festa da saída fora estragada. Tudo agora começa a dar errado. E para realmente complicar a situação, uma notícia aterradora: o exército de faraó está a caminho.  Estão cercados por montanhas. Na frente o mar. Atrás soldados cruéis se aproximando rapidamente. O sonho da terra prometida vira pesadelo. O desespero toma conta de praticamente todos. Gritos, choro, criticas a Moisés. Gente reclamando por todos os lados. Naquele momento cada um mostra quão forte é a confiança que tem em Deus. A maioria já O tinha esquecido por completo. O líder, nesse caos de medo e desespero faz, então, a profecia que estamos estudando hoje. “Moisés disse ao povo: não temais. Estai quietos, e vede o livramento do Senhor, que vos fará hoje. Aos egípcios, que hoje vistes nunca mais vereis para sempre” (Êxodo14:13). Em outras palavras: “Fiquem quietos, acalmem-se, deixem o Senhor mostrar o poder dEle.” Moisés levantou o cajado e estendeu a mão sobre o mar e uma estrada foi aberta para o povo passar. A multidão não acredita no que os olhos vêem. Porém, vão em frente! Os egípcios, ao perceberem o caminho aberto, concluíram que o mesmo trajeto serviria para eles também. Estavam redondamente enganados. Tão logo os israelitas atravessaram para o outro lado, Deus deu uma ordem a Moisés. “Então Moisés estendeu a mão sobre o mar e o mar retornou a sua força ao amanhecer… As águas, tornando, cobriram os carros e os cavaleiros de todo o exército de Faraó, que os havia seguido no mar. Nem ainda um deles ficou” (Êxodo 14:27-28). A profecia feita por Moisés demorou apenas poucas horas para se cumprir. Toda aquela multidão de soldados que perseguia o povo de Deus foi destruída. No amanhecer não havia inimigos vivos. Todos estavam mortos na praia. Amigo ouvinte, desta profecia temos que tirar algumas conclusões. A primeira é que quando aceitamos fazer parte do povo de Deus, poderemos, eventualmente, passar por dificuldades. Não somos isentos de provações. A segunda conclusão é que a oposição pode surgir dentro da própria família, no trabalho, nos estudos… Quem sabe até alguns amigos poderão se tornar inimigos. Em terceiro lugar, não subestime a Deus. Os egípcios concluíram que, se até ali eles tinham andado pelo mesmo caminho dos israelitas, não haveria porque temer em trilhar essa novidade no meio do mar. Brincaram com Deus. Desafiaram a Deus. Em quarto lugar, quando as dificuldades  parecerem impossíveis e você estiver  fazendo a vontade de Deus, tenha paciência, espere nEle. Os inimigos são reais, mas o nosso Deus também é real.  Sabe, temos que aprender a depender mais de Deus. Ele tem o mesmo poder para abrir uma estrada onde hoje só tem água. Sim! Deus pode abrir um caminho, providenciar uma solução, onde não vemos nada nem ninguém. Em quinto lugar, Deus apenas está esperando você abrir espaço em sua vida para Ele poder lutar por você. Deixe Deus ser um aliado seu, amigo ouvinte. Você que está cheio de problemas, achando que Deus o abandonou ou que a vida não tem mais sentido, você que, quem sabe, está pensando em por fim a vida porque não consegue um emprego para sustentar a família, deixe Deus lutar por você! Este é meu apelo para você que está ouvindo este programa. Deus quer andar com você. Quer lutar com você. Quer vencer com você! Quer abrir o mar e derrotar os inimigos. Você vai deixar? “Creia no Senhor teu Deus e você estará seguro. Creia nos profetas dEle e você prosperará”.

Most of life is not lived at the moment God speaks or at the moment the miracle happens. Most of life is lived **in between**.In this message from the **Finding Faith** series, Apostle Kyle Meyer explores Mary's journey from receiving God's promise through Gabriel to witnessing Jesus' first miracle at Cana. Her story shows us how to keep believing when we have heard God's Word but have not yet seen its manifestation.Delay does not mean denial. Waiting is not passive, and the process is not wasted. God uses the in-between to develop our faith and prepare us to carry what He has promised.You are not forgotten. You are not finished. The middle is not the end. Keep praying, worshiping, serving, obeying and preparing—because the best is still yet to come.

On August 5, the developers of Kenwood Commons in the South End of Albany made a presentation to the Council of Albany Neighborhood Associations.

C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

Back in 2017, I sat down with Anne Wilde, one of the foremost experts on modern-day polygamy. While I like to call her the First Lady of Fundamentalism, she has lived an incredibly unique life as an Independent Fundamentalist. For 33 years, Anne lived as the secret second wife of Ogden Kraut, a prolific fundamentalist author whose 65 books she personally helped write and edit. From the secret history of Mormon schisms to her own spiritual journey, you won’t want to miss this fascinating conversation! https://youtu.be/LH2zMt27kxM Don't miss our other conversations Shannon: https://gospeltangents.com/people/shannon-flynn Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Check out a transcript of the interview on Amazon. Pick up a transcript of our conversation! Raised in the mainstream LDS Church, Anne later became an “Independent Fundamentalist” and lived for 33 years as the secret second wife of prolific fundamentalist author Ogden Kraut. This sweeping conversation covers everything from the hidden history of Mormon schisms to controversial theology and modern civil rights. Hidden History of Post-Manifesto Polygamy Many believe plural marriage ended abruptly with the LDS Church’s 1890 Manifesto, but Anne explains it was more like a sunset: “when does it get dark? It’s just gradually.” She points to an uncanonized 1886 revelation received by Church President John Taylor, which fundamentalists believe declared plural marriage an everlasting covenant that could not be changed. Consequently, polygamy continued underground and in places like Mexico and Canada. It took the 1904 Second Manifesto and the 1933 Third Manifesto—which enforced excommunication for those practicing plural marriage—to create a permanent rift between the mainstream church and fundamentalist groups. Untangling the Polygamous Sects One of Anne’s main goals is to dispel the myth that all polygamists are the same. She breaks down the diverse landscape of modern polygamy: The AUB (Apostolic United Brethren): With about 7,500 members, this group has a priesthood council and allows members more free agency in choosing their spouses. (Kody Brown of the TV show Sister Wives comes from this tradition.) FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints): Notorious for the extreme one-man rule of Warren Jeffs, this group practices arranged marriages and strict dress codes. Anne notes that Jeffs’ oppressive control and habit of splitting up families has caused their numbers to plummet. Since he went to prison, the numbers are about 10% of what they were. Centennial Park: A breakaway group of about 2,000 members who separated from the FLDS because they wanted a priesthood council rather than a one-man dictatorship. Ervil LeBaron: Anne also discusses dangerous outliers like Ervil LeBaron, a militant polygamist who claimed his own priesthood authority and became an assassin responsible for roughly 20 deaths, including that of AUB leader Rulon Allred. Independent Fundamentalists: Anne identifies with this category—believers who adhere to early doctrines and plural marriage but choose not to affiliate with any centralized sect. Surprising Stances on Gay Marriage Despite their conservative theology, Anne reveals that many fundamentalists support the legalization of gay marriage. Viewing it through the lens of civil rights, she argues that if polygamists want the government to decriminalize their own family structures, they must grant the same free agency to the LGBTQ+ community. She also expressed deep disappointment with the LDS Church’s 2015 policy that temporarily barred the children of gay parents from being baptized, feeling it wrongly punished children. Anne Wilde’s Controversial Theology: Was Jesus a Polygamist? Anne Wilde and her late husband, Ogden Kraut, authored numerous books, including a highly popular 1969 text arguing that Jesus Christ was a polygamist. She suggests that the wedding feast at Cana was actually Christ’s own wedding, and that he was married to at least Mary, Martha, and Mary Magdalene. She also tackles difficult aspects of Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, such as the “Law of Sarah,” which ideally requires a first wife’s consent for subsequent marriages. However, Anne notes that if a first wife adamantly refuses to consent to a priesthood law, the husband is exempt from her approval and can marry anyway. Furthermore, she interprets the scriptural mentions of “concubines” not as sex slaves, but as lesser, non-covenant wives permitted by the customs of the era. Advocacy and the 2002 Olympics After living in secret for decades, Anne stepped into the public eye ahead of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Tired of seeing only bitter ex-members defining the narrative around plural marriage, Anne co-founded an advocacy group called “Principle Voices“. During the Olympics, they provided hundreds of press packets and fielded interviews with global media to offer a positive perspective on the lifestyle and to clearly distinguish themselves from the abuses of the FLDS church. Ultimately, Anne's story is a call for understanding. Whether you agree with her lifestyle or not, her experiences provide a rare, inside look at a marginalized community deeply woven into the fabric of Mormon history. Questions to ponder: 1. In what ways do the civil rights struggles of polygamists align with those of the LGBTQ+ community? 2. Why is it important to recognize the structural and cultural differences between various polygamous sects? 3. How does the “Law of Sarah” impact the balance of agency and power within a plural marriage? 4. What role does media representation play in shaping the narrative of marginalized or secretive religious communities?

Excesso de umidade complica gestão da qualidade das lavouras

In this message Pastor Dustin Stradley shares how Jesus is more than enough when we feel empty or have run out. Through the miracle at the wedding in Cana, he reminds us that true fulfillment isn't found in the things of this world but in bringing our lives to Jesus. As we trust and obey Him, He transforms our emptiness into something greater than we could imagine. Ultimately, the message points to the cross, where Jesus proved that His grace is more than enough for every need.

Most people asking "is this all there is?" aren't in crisis. They're just going through the motions. Doing the right things. Living a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow on the inside. In this second episode of the Never Settle series, Mark Clark unpacks the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. Six stone jars used for religious ceremony. Replaced entirely — not topped up — with nine hundred bottles of wine. That's not a miracle about a party. It's a picture of what grace actually looks like. The old system of performing your way to God, replaced entirely by something abundant, unearned, and transforming. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why faith feels like going through the motions — and whether there's something more available. Never Settle is a four-week series from Connexus Church. New episodes every Sunday. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

VOV1 - Hà Nội đang bước vào giai đoạn then chốt để hoàn thành mục tiêu tăng trưởng hai con số trong năm nay. Sau nửa đầu năm đạt kết quả tích cực nhưng vẫn thấp hơn kịch bản, Hà Nội xác định 6 tháng cuối năm, thời điểm bứt phá, tháo gỡ điểm nghẽn và khơi thông các động lực phát triển mới. Mục tiêu tăng trưởng GRDP từ 11% trở lên trong 6 tháng cuối năm đang đặt ra yêu cầu rất cao cho Hà Nội, không chỉ giữ đà phục hồi, Hà Nội phải tạo bứt phá. Trọng tâm là đẩy nhanh đầu tư công, phát triển các ngành kinh tế mũi nhọn, hỗ trợ doanh nghiệp và tận dụng hiệu quả các cơ chế đặc thù từ Luật Thủ đô. Sáu tháng năm 2026, GRDP của Hà Nội tăng 8,22%, đây là mức tăng cao nhất trong 10 năm qua. Tuy nhiên, kết quả này vẫn chưa tương xứng với tiềm năng, lợi thế của Thủ đô. Đặc biệt, chưa đáp ứng yêu cầu tăng trưởng hai con số mà Trung ương và Chính phủ giao. Vì vậy, Hà Nội xác định không điều chỉnh mục tiêu theo hướng thấp hơn và 6 tháng cuối năm là giai đoạn tăng tốc. Từng ngành, từng địa phương phải rà soát lại kịch bản tăng trưởng, nhận diện rõ điểm nghẽn và có giải pháp cụ thể để tháo gỡ. - Đà Nẵng đầu tư gần 2.000 tỷ đồng nâng cấp tuyến tránh Nam Hải Vân nối cảng Liên Chiểu.- Ít nhất 7 người thiệt mạng trong vụ cháy xe khách xảy ra rạng sáng nay trên Quốc lộ 1, đoạn qua xã Hưng Thịnh, thành phố Đồng Nai.- Khai mạc Hội nghị Bộ trưởng Ngoại giao ASEAN lần thứ 59 với chủ đề "Cùng nhau định hướng tương lai".- Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump ký sắc lệnh áp thuế 50% với Canađa, gia tăng sức ép trước thềm đàm phán thương mại.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.“And the man took Jesus at His word and went on his way,” (John 4.50b). That has to be one of the most encouraging verses in the Bible if we slow down enough to read it. Seriously, how is this not one of the verses we tell our children to memorize?!Let's establish a little context. In John's Gospel, before Jesus begins to support His teaching through signs of His Lordship, He modeled baptism for us. He demonstrated the way of the Messiah that passes through the waters of repentance. He then turned water to wine at a wedding in Cana, showing us the Father's generosity that surpasses the limited best we could ever establish for ourselves. Jesus then goes to Jerusalem and, like His generosity at the wedding, He does what we cannot do for ourselves: He cleanses the Temple. He drives out our plans for or own provision, our commerce and greed, that we anointed and placed in the Temple courts. Naturally, frustrated and rebuked, we demand Jesus provide proof of authority to drive out our sacralized idols in His house, and His response is to point us to the cross. Would you stop for a second and ask the Lord to open your eyes to the idols in your life?While Jesus was making His way slowly back to Capernaum, a royal official was desperately searching for Him. Jesus left Jerusalem and spent several days in Samaria (of all places!), falling off the grid, and this man—probably a member of the wicked Herodian rule—was looking for Him everywhere. We can understand this father's urgency because his son was about to die. When Jesus popped up in Cana, the man ran to Him, begging Jesus, “Lord, come down before my child dies.” And the Lord's response was “Go, your son will live.”And here's our memory verse for the week: “And the man took Jesus at His word and went on his way.” Friend, this can be the hardest part of faith: simply walking in what Jesus has told us to do, believing. Beloved, as we start walking, taking Jesus at His word is when the testimony comes (John 4.51-53). Where is Jesus telling you to take him at His word and start walking?

An Ash Wednesday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, the first of forty days which lead us to Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the start of Holy Week. All across the world, fellow followers of Jesus will make this spiritual pilgrimage—from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday—a time of heartfelt repentance. To aid us in our devotion at Eternity, we will be walking alongside Jesus with His beloved disciples John. It's important to note here at the outset, Lent is not a sprint. The goal is not to see who can get to the cross fastest. Lent is a journey, a few steps a day.We see this pace in Jesus' ministry. He could have rushed to Jerusalem and established His Messianic reign by angelic force (Lord knows that's what folks thought the Messiah would do!). Instead, Jesus began His ministry in the waters of baptism, modeling for us the way of repentance (John 1.29-34). Right now, take a moment of silent prayer and repent (acknowledging where you've fallen short). Following His baptism, John records Jesus' first sign (John 2.1-12). The wedding at Cana, seen in the light of baptism, takes on a whole new layer of meaning. We all want a good life filled with celebration and joy. We all save up and allocate resources for special occasions. But we will also all experience times when our stockpiles run out, our plans for self-sufficiency run dry. All our lives at some point grind to a halt. This is where Christ enters in. We cannot baptize ourselves, absolving ourselves of sin, but Christ can. He is the One who receives our repentance, washes us clean in His blood (1 John 5.6-8). We cannot turn water to wine, but He takes our water vats (dedicated for ceremonial cleaning)—our active symbols of repentance—and fills them to the brim. He takes the water of our repentance and transforms it into the wine of joy. Take a moment now to thank Him for the abundance of His generosity in your life.

In today's sermon, Running on Empty, Pastor Mark takes us to Jesus' first recorded miracle at the wedding in Cana, where He transformed water into wine. More than a miracle of provision, this passage points us to the One who alone can fill the emptiness in our lives with lasting joy.Using John 2:1–11, Pastor Mark reminds us of four essential truths for every follower of Christ:Admit your need for joy. We all experience seasons where we feel empty, weary, or spiritually dry.Bring your need to Jesus. The answer to our deepest needs is not found in ourselves, but in the Savior.Do whatever Jesus tells you to do. Obedience is often the pathway through which God works in our lives.Commit yourself fully to Jesus. Real transformation begins when we trust Him completely and surrender every area of our lives.This message reminds us that Jesus doesn't simply meet our needs—He transforms our emptiness into something far greater than we could imagine.

“Ninguém pode servir a dois senhores; porque ou há de odiar um e amar o outro, ou se dedicará a um e desprezará o outro. Não podeis servir a Deus e a Mamom.” Mateus 6:24“E Isaque chamou a Jacó, e abençoou-o, e ordenou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Não tomes mulher de entre as filhas de Canaã; Levanta-te, vai a Padã-Arã, à casa de Betuel, pai de tua mãe, e toma de lá uma mulher das filhas de Labão, irmão de tua mãe;” Gênesis 28:1-2

John 4:43-54 A Second Time in Cana

Today we began reading the New Testament from Matthew's gospel. It is understood it was written primarily for the Jews as it quotes the O.T. prophecies quite a lot; one or two are prophecies that we would not have readily identified as prophecies fulfilled in the life of Jesus, this is a lesson for us in trying to correctly identify prophecies about events that relate to the time Jesus returns  – to know beforehand all that is to actually happen.God created a situation in which the birth of his Son, the Messiah they were expecting, was obscured from the self-centred religious leaders.  One of the main reasons they gave for rejecting Jesus was to say, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee?  Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from Bethlehem …” [John 7 v.41,42]Matthew ch. 2 ends by telling us that his parents, when they returned from Egypt “went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He shall be called a Nazarene.'”   What prophets said this?  We need to put the Scriptures together to get the full picture of the forebears of Mary and Joseph and the significant characters among their forbears.  We are about to read in 2 Samuel how David was born in Bethlehem.    Joseph, a carpenter, evidently lived and worked there for about 2 years before they fled, at the command of the Lord to Egypt.  The  wise men, we are not told how many, found the one born to be “king of the kings” in “the house” (2v.11) in Bethlehem.  They then went and lived in Egypt until after the death of Herod (v.20) and then came to Nazareth again to re-establish life there (Luke 2 v.39). No doubt Joseph took his tools with him to support them with carpentry work in their stays in Bethlehem and Egypt.  Jesus would have lived in Nazareth for something like 25 years before he astonished the nation when he began his ministry.  The record of “the first of his signs” [John 2 v.11] at Cana shows that his mother had some degree of  awareness of his powers. Truly, as a hymn says, ‘God works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform' – but those who read God's word diligently can unravel many of those mysteries: the major mystery challenging us now – is the full nature of the events that are to occur at the return of Christ.  We believe they will only fall fully into place in our understanding  as they start to happen.  Let us diligently read and then think deeply – and watch.   

The wine ran out. And Jesus turned to the servants. In the Redacted series finale, we sit with the unnamed ones doing the grunt work — hauling water, wondering if it matters. This one is for every person who's asked that same question about their own life.

In this installment of Metron Live, Bishop Jim Swilley continues his series on being seated in heavenly places, drawing from Ephesians 2 and Psalm 16:11. He challenges listeners to rethink joy—not as an emotional high, but as a state of presence. Using stories from his own life, the Israelites' wilderness journey, a beloved family cat nearing the end of its life, and even a tense basketball game, Bishop Jim argues that fullness of joy is found when we stop living in regret over the past or anxiety about the future and become fully present in the moment. His central revelation is that “in His presence is fullness of joy” also means learning to live in our own presence—to fully inhabit the life we are experiencing right now. Key Takeaways 1. Your Life Has a Path, Even When It Feels Circular Drawing from Psalm 16:11, Bishop Jim teaches that God shows us “the path of life,” but that path is often cyclical rather than linear. Like Israel wandering for 40 years before facing the same Jericho, many people revisit similar lessons until they learn to see their circumstances differently. Key Thought: Stop obsessing over the “should have, could have, would have” moments. Fullness of joy requires making peace with the path that brought you here. Scripture: Psalm 16:11 2. Presence Is the Gateway to Joy The core revelation of the message comes from a simple observation about a family cat that peacefully accepted the end of its life. “He was present all the way to the end.” — Bishop Jim Swilley recounting a conversation about Avery’s cat. That statement unlocked a deeper understanding of Psalm 16:11. Most people are physically present but mentally somewhere else—replaying the past, worrying about the future, or trying to solve problems that don’t yet exist. Bishop Jim shares a personal story of standing in the Gulf of Mexico on vacation while mentally sorting through future responsibilities, realizing: “My body’s in the Gulf of Mexico, but I’m not here.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Main Lesson: You cannot experience fullness of joy if you are not fully present. Scripture: Psalm 16:11 — “In Your presence is fullness of joy.” 3. Anxiety Pulls You Out of the Present Moment Whether it’s worrying about finances, relationships, aging, health, or the future, anxiety fragments attention and lowers our ability to experience joy. Bishop Jim contrasts this with Jesus’ teaching: Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 6 — Consider the lilies. Matthew 6:34 — “Take no thought for tomorrow.” The message is not irresponsibility; it is refusing to sacrifice today’s peace for tomorrow’s uncertainty. 4. Stop Rehearsing the Stories That Keep You Sick Referencing Proverbs, Bishop Jim teaches that many people unknowingly reinforce negative realities by constantly speaking about them. Scripture: Proverbs 13:12 — “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” He argues that there is a healthy place for processing pain, counseling, and healing, but eventually there comes a point where continuing to repeat the story keeps it alive. Key Thought: There comes a time when you stop retelling the wound and start telling a new story. 5. Don’t Make Your Joy Dependent on Other People’s Approval One of the strongest practical applications of the message is the reminder that everyone wants acceptance, but joy cannot be dependent upon it. “You got to feel good about yourself whether anybody gets it or not.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Jesus serves as the model. He never sought permission from others to live in the truth of who He was. Scriptures Referenced: John 8:58 — “Before Abraham was, I am.” John 10:18 — “No man takes my life, I lay it down.” 6. God Is Not Against Pleasure Bishop Jim closes by examining the final phrase of Psalm 16:11: “At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” He contrasts this with religious systems that often treat pleasure, enjoyment, and happiness as suspicious or sinful. Using Jesus turning water into wine at Cana as an example, he argues that God is not opposed to joy, celebration, or abundance. Scripture: John 2 — The wedding at Cana. His conclusion is that many religious traditions have taught people to expect struggle, guilt, and stress, while Scripture repeatedly points toward joy, peace, and life. Memorable Quote “You can’t have fullness of joy if you’re not present.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Main Scripture Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Final Thought The heart of this message is simple but profound: joy is not found in fixing the past or controlling the future. It is found in fully inhabiting the present moment. According to Bishop Jim, the highest vibration, the heavenly place, and the fullness of joy are all experienced when we stop living somewhere else and become fully present to the life unfolding right in front of us.

Reading 1Exodus 19:2-6aIn those days, the Israelites came to the desert of Sinai and pitched camp.While Israel was encamped here in front of the mountain,Moses went up the mountain to God.Then the LORD called to him and said,“Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob;tell the Israelites:You have seen for yourselves how I treated the Egyptiansand how I bore you up on eagle wingsand brought you here to myself. Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant,you shall be my special possession,dearer to me than all other people,though all the earth is mine.You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.”Reading 2Romans 5:6-11Brothers and sisters:Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly.Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person,though perhaps for a good personone might even find courage to die.But God proves his love for usin that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood,will we be saved through him from the wrath.Indeed, if, while we were enemies,we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son,how much more, once reconciled,will we be saved by his life.Not only that,but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ,through whom we have now received reconciliation.GospelMatthew 9:36—10:8At the sight of the crowds, Jesus' heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned,like sheep without a shepherd.Then he said to his disciples,“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;so ask the master of the harvestto send out laborers for his harvest.”Then he summoned his twelve disciplesand gave them authority over unclean spiritsto drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.The names of the twelve apostles are these:first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus,“Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town.Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”

Water shows up in nearly every chapter of John's Gospel, and it's almost never simple—sometimes death, sometimes life, sometimes the boundary between them. Having spent the last episode tracing the theme of water through the Old Testament, David and Christine return to John to watch all those waves crash together into one story. They walk through Jesus' baptism, the wedding at Cana, the woman at the well, the storm on the sea, and the water that flows from his pierced side, showing how John presents Jesus as the living water who has come to cleanse an unfaithful people and make a dead and thirsty world new.

Matthew 9:36—10:8At the sight of the crowds, Jesus' heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned,like sheep without a shepherd.Then he said to his disciples,“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;so ask the master of the harvestto send out laborers for his harvest.”Then he summoned his twelve disciplesand gave them authority over unclean spiritsto drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.The names of the twelve apostles are these:first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus,“Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town.Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”

How did wine transform biblical meals into symbols of the covenant in the ancient world? Why did overflowing vineyards and giant clusters of grapes become such powerful symbols of the Promised Land? Why did religious leaders label Jesus a glutton, a drunkard, and a friend of sinners? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Professor Mark Scarlata, author of Wine, Soil, and Salvation in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights What makes the Bible's first meal with bread and wine so significant? Why does the "cup of salvation" become one of the Bible's most enduring images? How did wine become the ultimate symbol of communion in the Christian faith? Why did the spies return from the Promised Land carrying an enormous cluster of grapes? Why do biblical visions of salvation so often involve overflowing wine and lavish feasts? Why was abundant wine associated with the coming of the Messiah? What was Jesus communicating by turning water into wine at Cana? How did the prophets transform the "cup of salvation" into a symbol of judgment? Does Proverbs contain what may be the world's first hangover story? Why was Jesus accused of being a drunkard and a friend of sinners? What does Jesus really mean by new wine and old wineskins? What does the terrifying winepress imagery in Revelation actually symbolize? If Mark could share a bottle of wine with anyone in history, why would he choose Moses? What can wine teach us about humanity, community, and our connection to the world around us?   About Mark Scarlata Mark Scarlata is Senior Lecturer in Old Testament at St. Mellitus College, London.

Friends of the Rosary,As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states (863), the Church is, and remains, apostolic through the successors of St. Peter and the other apostles. All the faithful share a vocation to the apostolate of spreading Christianity on earth.We read today (Matthew 9:36—10:8) how Christ the Lord summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to cure the sick from any disease, raise the dead, drive out demons, and proclaim: “The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”They were: “Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.”Also, this Sunday we see how Jesus' heart — his sacred heart — “was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.”The Lord was moved with pity because he wanted each person in that crowd to respond to his love.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

#673 - 7 Estações - RESUMO DA JORNADA DO EGITO A CANAÃ | JB Carvalho by JB Carvalho

The Beauty and the Beast of Serving explores both the blessing and burden of serving God.At the wedding in Cana, the governor didn't know where the miraculous wine came from, but the servants did. Serving gives us access to moments and revelations others may never see. Yet that privilege comes with pressure and the challenge of keeping our motives pure.Servants may not receive the recognition, but they have the privilege of witnessing God's work firsthand. The beauty of serving is seeing God's glory; the danger is forgetting who it belongs to.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered Him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. (John 21:2-8)

Today's Scripture: John 2:1–11 What do you do when you've run out of energy, patience, joy, or capacity? In today's episode, we look at Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana, where the wine runs out and Jesus quietly meets a hidden need. This passage offers a tender picture of a God who does not shame our lack, but meets us with dignity and generosity. We explore: *Why running out does not mean you've failed *How burnout shows up in your body and nervous system *Why honest naming can become a prayer *How Jesus meets hidden depletion before it becomes public shame *One small way to bring your burn-out to God today Go Deeper: Take the Family Roles quiz Connect with Dr. Alison on Instagram: @dralisoncook Join 80,000+ Soul Menders in Dr. Alison's free email community for ongoing reflection and support.

Read OnlineJesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.” John 17:1–2The entirety of Chapter 17 of John's Gospel is traditionally referred to as Jesus' High Priestly Prayer. This prayer concludes the Last Supper Discourse, which we have been reading for the past two weeks. It marks a transition from the conclusion of Jesus' public ministry to His Passion and glorification. With His teaching completed, Jesus begins His prayerful offering of His life to the Father. The prayer can be divided into three sections:Verses 1–11a: Jesus' intimate prayer to the Father focuses on their mutual glorification through the completion of His sacrifice. This “hour” of sacrifice and glory is now at hand.Verses 11b–19: Jesus prays for the disciples who accompanied Him during His earthly ministry, asking for their protection, sanctification, and perseverance in their mission.Verses 20–26: Jesus' prayer extends to all future believers, the Church throughout time, including us today. He prays for unity among believers, rooted in the love of the Father and the Son.Today, in liturgical Year A, we read the first section of this prayer, when Jesus speaks of His divine mission and His imminent return to the glory He shared with the Father before creation. This prayer highlights a central theme in John's Gospel: Jesus' “hour.”The theme of the “hour” was introduced at the wedding at Cana, the beginning of Jesus' signs. When the Blessed Mother intercedes for the couple, saying, “They have no wine,” Jesus replies, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come” (John 2:3–4). From that moment, Jesus references the concept of His “hour” throughout His ministry, pointing to the appointed time for His Passion and glorification. In today's High Priestly Prayer, Jesus makes His final and definitive reference to His hour: “Father, the hour has come…” (John 17:1). The hour of His sacrifice, the pinnacle of His earthly mission, has now arrived. Though Jesus was fully aware of the suffering He was about to endure, He did not enter into that suffering with dread or fear. Rather, He did so with eager resolve, knowing that everything He had done throughout His life and public ministry pointed to this moment, which had finally come.Jesus' human disposition while praying at this pivotal moment offers us an invitation to approach His Sacrifice in the way He did. His “hour” continues in our lives every time we are invited to embrace His Cross. Therefore, every opportunity for sacrifice—no matter how small—must be prayerfully embraced in union with Jesus' prayer.Jesus' prayer teaches us that sacrifice is not something to resist or begrudge. Instead, every sacrifice becomes an opportunity to glorify God and receive a share in His glory. When we embrace sacrifice with generosity and trust, we unite ourselves to Jesus' perfect Sacrifice, participating in His work of redemption and giving glory to the Father. Reflect today on the interior disposition Jesus manifested as He faced His imminent suffering and death. He did not cower or hesitate. He looked at His Cross with divine eyes, seeing His Sacrifice as the pinnacle of His life's mission and the source of glory for Him and His Father. As we strive to embrace our own sacrifices, turn to Christ in prayer, asking for His grace and strength to offer His prayer as He offered it to the Father. Most glorious High Priest, when Your hour of suffering had arrived, You embraced that Sacrifice with unwavering resolve. That resolve revealed the glory You shared with the Father. Please draw me into Your sacrificial love and help me to prayerfully choose every sacrifice to which I am called with the same determination modeled in Your High Priestly Prayer. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image by Prabowo Shakti from PixabaySource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
