Tú sabes lo que es ser extranjero, porque tú también fuiste extranjero en la tierra de Egipto». Éxodo 23:9.El pueblo de Israel vivió como inmigrante en las tierras de Egipto. Pasaron años siendo maltratados y sufriendo mucho. No debe haber sido fácil para los israelitas pasar por eso. ¿Conoces esa historia bíblica? Dios envió un líder para librar a su pueblo: Moisés.Como inmigrantes, algunos israelitas tuvieron dificultades para mantener su cultura, e incluso abandonaron la fe en Dios. Sin embargo, muchas familias se mantuvieron orando; realizando las fiestas de la cultura de Israel, como la Pascua; y teniendo hábitos típicos de los israelitas, en la alimentación, en la vestimenta, etc.Un día, charlando con una amiga que vive como inmigrante en Canadá, entendí cuán difícil debe ser estar en un lugar distinto al tuyo, con otro idioma, y hábitos, comidas y rutina distintos.La Biblia está llena de consejos acerca del amor, incluso acerca de amar a las personas, ya sea de tu pueblo o extranjeros. Todos somos extranjeros en este lugar, ya que el Señor está preparando una nueva Canaán para nosotros.Mi oración: Querido Dios, ayúdame a mantener mi fe aún en situaciones difíciles y lugares distintos.¿Conoces a alguien que vino de otra ciudad, provincia o país? ¿Cómo tratas a esa persona? 

Receive refreshment for your soul as we explore "The Wedding at Cana"! (Where Jesus turned water into wine.) 

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, hosts Andrew McPheron, Matt Thieman, Ethan Callison, and Ken Nienke dive into John 2:1–12—the miraculous story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana.

Génesis 31: 19La huida de Jacob de la casa de su suegro constituyo uno de los episodios bíblicos más fascinante. Sí, asi como acabas de leer, Jacob huyó de su suegro.En medio de este relato, encontramos una nota intrigante: «Mientras Labán fue a otra parte a trasquilar sus ovejas, Raquel le robó sus ídolos familiares» (Génesis 31: 19, la cursiva es nuestra). Aunque se supone que toda la familia de Jacob adora a Jehová, Raquel, sin embargo, hurta los ídolos de su padre. ¿Qué motivó a Raquel a cometer tal acto y qué lección podemos extraer de este episodio?En su comentario sobre Génesis, Gordon J. Wenham señala tres posibles razones para el hurto de los ídolos: (1) Los ídolos eran un amuleto de protección para el viaje a Canaán. (2) Tener los ídolos le daba el derecho de reclamar la herencia de Labán. (3) La mayoría de los dioses paganos estaban asociados a la fertilidad. Dado que Raquel no podía tener hijos (ver Génesis 30: 1), es posible que hubiera robado los ídolos en su búsqueda de la fertilidad.Si te fijas en las tres posibles razones que motivaron a Raquel a robar los ídolos de Labán, la lección del relato se torna obvia. Las tres implican algún tipo de beneficio para Raquel. Ese es el modus operandi del pecado. Nadie se despierta un día y decide dedicar su vida al pecado y perderse. El cambio siempre es lento y gradual, y comienza cuando creemos que estamos ganando algo con el pecado.En el Edén, Eva creyó que obtendría sabiduría (ver Génesis 3: 6), pero encontró la muerte. Acán creyó que estaba obteniendo un manto, doscientas monedas de plata y un lingote de oro, pero condenó a muerte a treinta y seis israelitas (ver Josué 7). Judas creyó que estaba ganando treinta monedas de plata, pero en realidad estaba traicionando al Hijo de Dios.Así que la próxima vez que llegues a la conclusión de que obtendrás algún beneficio al traicionar tus principios y fallarle a Dios, recuerda las palabras del Sabio: «Hijo mío, si los pecadores quieren engatusarte, ¡dales la espalda!» (Proverbios 1: 10, NTV). 

Today, we highlight Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Glorious Lord in the Church around the world. Thank you all for listening. We are looking at the earthly conversations Jesus had, as recorded in the gospels, to see if we are able to glean anything useful for our prayer lives. Our latest segment comes from John chapter 2 and the wedding party at Cana. We find not only is He the God of the impossible, but He can accomplish multiple things through one prayer.The prayer of Mary, "They have no wine." Began a miracle, at least 180 gallons of good wine. Although the miracle was a "quiet one," it accomplished all Mary had prayed, but it set the beginning of the evangelist team God would use to turn the world upside down. "This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." John 2:11Our So What?When we cast our prayers to the heart of our God, we scarce know how those prayers may be used in the plan of the Almighty. Therefore, we heed then the exhortations of E.M. Bounds and the apostle Paul:"Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account." " Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Mi familia y yo viajamos muchas veces en el viejo auto blanco, para ir a lugares lejanos para adorar a Dios por medio de la música. De ida y de vuelta yo podía dormir plácidamente sin temor alguno y con el firme pensamiento, «papá maneja». Pero no era así cuando subía a otros autos y no era mi padre el conductor. No podía dormir en el camino por la preocupación de que algo malo podría ocurrir en la carretera.¿Por qué podía dormir cuando papá estaba al volante? Porque yo sabía que él me amaba demasiado como para permitir que algo malo me pasara bajo su cuidado. Yo le conocía, seguía sus indicaciones y consejos; así como también recibí regaños, pero siempre a sabiendas de que era por mi bien. Papá era mi héroe y yo le confiaba mi vida y mis decisiones.Nosotras hemos emprendido un viaje hacia la patria celestial en un transporte llamado «vida cristiana». Subimos a él, el día que el pastor sumergió nuestro cuerpo en las aguas del bautismo y la vida pasada quedó sepultada. Sin embargo, en ocasiones las dificultades del camino nos hacen querer parar el auto y buscar otras opciones; o lo que es peor, quisiéramos ser la conductora para hacerlo mejor.Cuando debíamos ir a algún lugar nuevo, desconocido para mí, no tenía problemas con quedarme dormida, pues sabía que papá estaba manejando y él nos llevaría hasta aquel lugar donde nos esperaban. De igual manera, con la certeza de que «Papá Dios» está al volante, sigamos adelante en el viaje hacia la patria celestial. Con esto en mente, no hay lugar para el desánimo, ni para el temor y mucho menos para la duda cuando los problemas se presentan.Tal como lo había prometido, Dios estuvo presente en toda la travesía que el pueblo de Israel hizo en el desierto y finalmente los introdujo en la tierra de Canaán. Ese mismo Dios sigue guiando a su pueblo y va a introducir a sus hijos que permanezcan fieles, en las mansiones celestiales. Es una linda promesa para seguir tranquila en el viaje, ¿verdad? Papá maneja. 

Today's Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, is celebrated annually on the Monday after Pentecost. It was officially added to the Church's calendar by Pope Francis in 2018.  As outlined in an address by Pope John Paul II, the Blessed Mother's role as Mother of the Church can be traced back to four significant events. The first is the Annunciation, where Mary was called to give her consent to the coming of the Messianic Kingdom, which would take place with the formation of the Church. The second event which helps clarify the Blessed Mother's role in the formation of the Church happens at the wedding feast of Cana. Mary asks her Son to exercise his Messianic power in changing water into wine, implanting faith in the lives of the first century disciples.  The third event takes place at Calvary. The Crucified Christ proclaims Mary's motherhood of all the faithful when he proclaims: “Woman, behold your Son.” This was not just addressed to John the Evangelist, Pope John Paul II explained, but to all the faithful, including ourselves 1992 years later.  The fourth instance of Mary's motherhood of the Church is recognized by St. Luke in Acts 1:14 in today's alternative reading, in which Luke describes the early Christians gathering together in prayer. Specifically, it states that all the apostles, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers were present and united in prayer. This verse follows our Lord's Ascension into heaven as they were waiting for the arrival of the promised Holy Spirit. The verse highlights the unity of the early Church and the Blessed Mother's prayerful presence imploring the gift of the Holy Spirit for all, the same Holy Spirit that had overshadowed her during the Annunciation.  The Church is like a mother, generating life by giving birth, but also helping her children to grow through the sacraments and accompanying us through our entire lives. For St. Jerome, “The Church is nothing other than the souls of those who believe in Christ,” carefully watched over by the Mother of the Church, our Most Blessed Virgin Mary.  Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

John 4:46-47 Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Let's begin today with a few facts. The journey to Cana from Sychar was about 40 miles, or probably 2–3 days. The royal official was probably a Gentile, an official in Herod Antipas' administration, who was the Tetrarch of Galilee. The distance from Cana to Capernaum was about 20 miles over hill country, a long day's journey by foot. These facts help us keep things in perspective. Nothing is going to happen fast if everything goes at the normal pace. The situation given by the Father to Jesus was dire. The official's son was probably at the point of death before the father left for Cana to meet Jesus, so you can imagine the urgency of the official once they met. Having heard that Jesus was in Cana, he believed Jesus was the boy's only hope of healing. He believed it enough to undertake a 40-mile round trip. Under the circumstances, I think he would have taken the fastest means possible, which would have been horseback. That's simply conjecture. The apostle John didn't give us that information. There are a few encouragements I get from these verses. First, God may allow sickness in order to reveal His glory through His Son. The condition of the official's son was totally in God's hands. For this story to be in the Bible, the son had to be sick to the point of death. In fact, that had to be true of everyone Jesus healed. So, my takeaway is that regardless of how dire the circumstances are, don't panic, the situation is necessary for the glory of God. Since my purpose is to live to love with Jesus for the glory of God, it seems wise and faithful to ask, “How does God want to glorify Himself through His Son in this situation that He has given to Him and to me? Then pray, listen, receive, and release into the situation what I'm given. A second encouragement is that God reveals His will by giving faith where He plans to work. Jesus knew where the Father was working by the attitudes and responses of the people God put in His path. I think of 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” Where Jesus saw faith at work, He knew His Father was working, so then He worked with His Father. He was living to love with His Father. In this case, the official demonstrated faith. He heard Jesus was in Cana. His son was desperately ill, and there was no other hope. He knew Jesus was a healer and miracle worker. He made the trip to find Jesus to beg Him to come and heal his son because he believed Jesus was capable of healing his son. As we walk with Jesus, there will be times when we face dire circumstances and people with an urgent need. May we be so filled with the Spirit of Christ that we can discern where the Father is working and trust in Him to give us what we need to glorify His name at that time. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo "Repent and Get Back In the Game" John 21 ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭25‬‬ Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. 1. Peter wasn't doing anything WRONG, he just wasn't doing WHAT HE WAS CALLED TO DO! vs. 3 2. Jesus gives Peter a GENTLEREMINDER of his PURPOSE. vs. 4-14 3. Jesus RESTORES Peter to his RIGHTFUL PLACE- as a DISCIPLEMAKER! vs. 15-17 4. Peter shows us the most common PITFALL to REPENTANCE - COMPARISON and RATIONALIZATION. vs. 20-23

This message describes how marriage was designed to reflect the love of Jesus, not just satisfy our personal happiness. Looking at the story of the wedding at Cana, we see that Jesus cares deeply about relationships and steps in when the joy runs out...if we invite Him. This sermon challenges us to examine what we're pouring into our marriage and how our love can lead our spouse to see Jesus more clearly. Whether your relationship feels full or empty, Jesus still knows how to turn water into wine.

Israel comete crimes de guerra em Gaza e a mudança de discurso do premiê Benjamin Netanyahu, nos últimos dias, deixa claro que o objetivo de seu governo é a limpeza étnica da região.Vocês não têm ideia de como me dói dizer isso. Desde que me entendo por gente, sou sionista. Ao longo da vida, mudei de opinião a respeito de muitas questões. Este é um dos raros casos em que me mantive constante. Ser sionista é ser favorável a um Estado, no Levante Meridional, para o povo judeu. Um Estado na sua terra. Mas o meu é o sionismo de Theodor Herzl, o sionismo de David Ben Gurion. O meu é o sionismo de Yitzhak Rabin, que compreendeu, como todo israelense inteligente, que as mesmas razões que sustentam o direito de judeus terem seu país sustenta, igualmente, o direito de palestinos terem o seu.O governo Netanyahu é a negação de todos esses valores.Neste momento, estão nas ilhas de edição do Meio três episódios especiais da série Ponto de Partida que vão para nosso streaming e tratarão de Israel e da Palestina. Não pretendia voltar a este assunto antes do lançamento porque, afinal, em dez, doze minutos de um vídeo aqui, não cabe tudo o que gravamos num total de uma hora e meia. Só que os acontecimentos não esperam.O governo Netanyahu está propositalmente deixando sem comida e sem remédios milhões de pessoas na Faixa de Gaza. Não existe qualquer razão estratégica, do ponto de vista militar ou político, para justificar algo assim. É um nível absurdo de crueldade, de desumanidade.No Knesset, o parlamento de Israel, na semana passada, Netanyahu afirmou que por conta de sua política de “destruir mais e mais moradias”, as palavras são do premiê, “o resultado inevitável será o desejo pelos moradores de Gaza de deixarem a região”. Neste mesmo discurso, ele afirmou que só permitirá que ajuda humanitária chegue a quem não voltar para casa.Se o desejo de Benjamin Netanyahu é tornar a vida em Gaza tão insuportável que a população deseje deixar suas casas para nunca mais voltar, o nome disso é limpeza étnica. É a definição de dicionário. É limpar, de uma região, um povo. A política de tornar um lugar impossível para a vida de quem vive lá. O primeiro-ministro de Israel está declarando isso. Ministros de seu gabinete já diziam desde o ano passado, mas Netanyahu, não. Agora ele começou a dizer. É política de Estado.Que ninguém se engane. Esta política não só é bárbara e anti-Palestina. Ela é, igualmente, anti-Israel. Esta política não vai eliminar o Hamas. Ela vai alimentar o ódio palestino a um ponto como jamais houve na história. Ela vai acirrar o conflito. A longo prazo, ela ameaça a existência do Estado de Israel. E, não, ela não vai expulsar os palestinos. Primeiro porque o povo palestino já demonstrou, ao longo das décadas, uma resiliência sem igual. Eles querem sua terra e vão ficar. Mas, em segundo lugar, é preciso considerar os vizinhos imediatos. O Egito já deixou claro que não quer os palestinos no seu país. A Jordânia, idem. O Líbano, a Síria, mesma coisa. Não há outro lugar para o povo palestino que não a sua terra. Gaza e Cisjordânia.Além disso, o que a política de Netanyahu faz é estender o sofrimento dos 58 reféns que ainda vivem no cativeiro, em Gaza. Estão sendo torturados, passam fome e estão nas mãos de pessoas que os odeiam. Nunca na história, desde 1948, houve um único governo israelense que não pusesse como absoluta prioridade a segurança de cada judeu no mundo. Nunca. Israel nasceu para que o resultado de dois mil anos de racismo, perseguição e violência que os judeus sofreram na Europa nunca mais ocorresse.Nunca mais.Esta política mudou com Netanyahu. A guerra em Gaza não representa qualquer estratégia de interesse do Estado de Israel. Ela representa os interesses da extrema-direita israelense e os interesses pessoais do primeiro-ministro. Netanyahu é um político corrupto que compreende que, no momento em que deixar o governo, será imediatamente processado e corre o risco de passar seus últimos dias na cadeia. Manter-se em guerra garante o apoio da extrema-direita e, com o apoio da extrema-direita, seu governo não termina antes da próxima eleição. Enquanto ele controlar metade mais um do Knesset, o governo fica de pé. Ou seja, eleição só em 27 de outubro do ano que vem.É um pesadelo para os palestinos. É um pesadelo para as famílias dos reféns. É um pesadelo para os democratas israelenses.A gente não tem como prever o futuro, mas temos como compreender o que aconteceu para chegarmos até aqui. Este não é um vídeo que vai agradar a turma do “Palestina livre do rio ao mar”. Não é um vídeo que agradará quem acha que Israel está sempre certa. É um vídeo para quem deseja compreender e quem anseia, urgentemente, pela paz. Uma paz cada vez mais distante.Eu sou Pedro Doria, editor do Meio.Netanyahu não é um premiê popular. Ele sabe disso. Sabe que perderia a eleição pesado. Ele tem o apoio de apenas 32% dos israelenses. Mais do que isso. 55% acreditam que seu único interesse é se manter no poder. Uma pesquisa realizada este mês pelo Maariv afirma que a oposição, se as eleições fossem hoje, conquistaria 62 cadeiras do Knesset e, o bloco de Netanyahu, 48.Existem duas extrema-direitas diferentes em Israel. E é importante entender isso. São dois grupos que, embora igualmente extremistas, não se bicam. Não se falam. De um lado estão os nacionalistas sionistas e, do outro, os ultra-ortodoxos.Uma das principais marcas dos nacionalistas sionistas, tipo a camisa da Seleção brasileira deles, o boné MAGA, é uma kipá de tricô. Eles são quem mais faz pressão para que Israel anexe os territórios palestinos, a Cisjordânia e Gaza. É a turma que ergue assentamentos, condomínios inteiros, em território que não pertence ao Estado de Israel. Defendem uma Grande Israel, andam pesadamente armados, em geral quando há instantes de violência contra palestinos, são eles. Foi um cara desse grupo que assassinou Yitzhak Rabin no momento em que ele tentava negociar a paz com Yasser Arafat. Os nacionalistas sionistas são sempre os primeiros a se alistar no Exército e se oferecem para estar na linha de frente. São, por isso mesmo, os que mais morrem na guerra.Os ultraortodoxos são o contrário. Não se alistam, têm licença especial para escaparem do serviço militar que é obrigatório para todos os outros cidadãos israelenses. Também não trabalham. Estudam a Torá o dia todo e são financiados pelo Estado. Seu principal objetivo é manterem-se isentos do serviço militar e de qualquer trabalho, é manter os recursos do Estado vindo pra eles enquanto estudam a palavra de Deus.A tensão entre os dois grupos é grande e é real justamente por isso. Só que em nenhum outro governo na história de Israel qualquer um dos dois já teve o espaço de poder que eles têm hoje. Porque, a sua maneira, são extremistas de formas distintas. Então um atura o outro e os dois grupos, embora minoritários, têm votos o suficiente para manter Netanyahu no poder. A coalizão de governo se mantem no poder por 4 votos. Apenas quatro cadeiras. Se quatro deputados deixam o governo, ele desmorona. Só que não acontece. Não acontece enquanto Netanyahu garantir as benesses dos religiosos e acenar com limpeza étnica palestina para os nacionalistas.Mas como foi que Netanyahu chegou lá? Tem uma verdade inconveniente nisso tudo. Israel apresentou duas vezes um plano concreto para a criação do Estado da Palestina. A primeira com o gabinete de centro-esquerda de Ehud Barak, no ano 2000. A segunda pelo gabinete de centro-direita de Ehud Olmert, em 2008. Não é que os palestinos tenham recusado. Nem Arafat, em 2000, nem Mahmoud Abbas, em 2008, apresentaram uma contra-proposta. Na verdade, após a primeira apresentação de proposta, explodiu a Segunda Intifada, que matou muita gente em Israel. É como se, no momento em que finalmente Israel conseguiu se convencer, tanto na esquerda quanto na direita, de que era preciso haver um Estado palestino, o governo da Palestina tivesse congelado. Vejam, teve uma vez, sem resposta. Veio uma onda brutal de ataques terroristas. Aí apresentaram uma segunda proposta. Silêncio no rádio. Os palestinos nunca disseram, sequer, não. Nunca explicaram exatamente o que não gostavam na Foi neste cenário que Benjamin Netanyahu se elegeu. Ele era o único político dizendo “os palestinos não querem paz”. Subentendido nesta ideia está a percepção que muitos israelenses ainda têm de que, para os palestinos, a única solução é o fim de Israel. Pois, em 2009, a população de Israel ouviu Bibi. E o elegeu. Mais de uma década e meia depois, ele segue no governo e tudo piorou muito. Netanyahu tornou a paz ainda mais difícil de ser conquistada. Então como se constrói a paz?O Sete de Outubro é um trauma que não vai embora tão cedo. A destruição de Gaza, muito menos. Mas eu queria sublinhar um último ponto. Hoje, 50% da população de Israel é formada por judeus cujos avós moravam no Norte da África e no Oriente Médio. 30% por judeus cujos avós vieram da Europa. 20% de árabes palestinos com cidadania israelense. Geneticamente, os judeus asquenazitas, os europeus, são mais próximos dos judeus mizrahim e sefarditas do que de qualquer povo europeu. Eles são a mesma gente. E não há povo mais próximo de qualquer judeu do que os palestinos.Isso tem explicação. São os dois povos cananeus. Os dois povos são de lá. Os dois povos descendem diretamente dos homens e mulheres que primeiro aprenderam a plantar na história. Isso. Dez mil anos atrás, na Revolução Agrícola. Nenhum povo pertence mais a uma mesma terra do que judeus e palestinos pertencem a Canaã. Não importa sua crença ideológica, sua crença religiosa, nada muda o fato de que são duas culturas ancoradas há milênios naquela terra. Todas suas rezas, seus monumentos, seus textos. Cada artefato arqueológico encontrado com mil, dois mil, três mil, cinco mil, oito mil anos foi construído, moldado, pelas mãos dos antepassados de todos os judeus e todos os palestinos. Em alguns casos, dos antepassados comuns aos dois povos.Não existe saída que não o reconhecimento de que a terra é dos dois. Precisamos dos dois países. E, às vezes, a paz nasce justamente quando não parece mais haver esperança.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le nozze di Cana di Paolo Veronese: commento e analisi del dipinto con descrizione dei personaggi e confronto con le nozze di Cana dipinte dal Tintoretto.

Ever felt like you were called… but stuck in a season of “not yet”? You’re not alone. Whether it’s King David or King Jesus, even God’s greatest waited between their anointing and appointing. But take heart—your “in-between” is never wasted. Key Takeaways You’re Sealed and Claimed – God put His Spirit in you as a guarantee of what’s to come (2 Cor 1:21-22). Anointed ≠ Immediately Appointed – David waited decades; Jesus waited years. Waiting doesn’t mean forgotten. God Doesn’t Rush – He moves in perfect timing (Isaiah 60:22). You’re not behind schedule—you’re being prepared. Your Wait Has a Purpose – David gathered strength and support; Jesus discipled and taught. Your delay is part of your development. Join the Conversation How are you holding onto faith in your waiting season? What has God been refining in you while you wait? Share your reflections using #LifeaudioNetwork. And remember: if He’s anointed you, He will appoint you—right on time.

In this follow-up to our previous lesson on the symbolism of John Chapter 2, we examine the rich cultural and spiritual backdrop of the Wedding at Cana. What did John mean when he said it was the “third day”? At first glance, this might seem like a small detail, but when viewed through the lens of Jewish wedding traditions, it opens up a powerful layer of meaning that brings the Cana scene to life. In this lesson, we'll explore: - The cultural significance of weddings on the third day of the week in ancient Jewish practice - How these traditions align beautifully with the wedding at Cana - The symbolism behind the miracle of water turned into wine. - Parallels to ancient Near Eastern beliefs—especially how miracles like this one were seen as signs of a god's presence, as in the case of the Greek god Dionysus Ultimately, we'll see how this first “sign” reveals God's transformative power through Jesus, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I invite you to join me for a special journey through John Chapter 2, a remarkable section of Scripture that contains two profound events: the Wedding at Cana and Jesus' cleansing of the Temple courts. Though seemingly unrelated, these stories are deeply connected—and together, they reveal powerful lessons that still speak to our spiritual journey today. Throughout this series, we will explore the rich layers of meaning found within John 2:

Secular historian Tom Holland has shown how the Christian revolution and its concept of sacrificial love has changed our world – so much so that we tend to take it for granted. Yet while love remains central to our lives and culture, it is often misunderstood and distorted. Jesus commands his friends to love one another as he loved them, and in John's gospel we see how it's practical and concrete: Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman; his provision at the wedding at Cana; how he deals with Judas, and more ... Passages in Deuteronomy help us understand Jesus' biblical concept of love and reject the way our modern culture distorts and practices “love."

2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

  «Cuando ustedes hayan cruzado el Jordán y entren en la tierra de Canaán, deben desalojar de su presencia a todos los habitantes del país, expulsarán a los que habitan la tierra, y habitarán en ella, porque yo se la he dado a ustedes en propiedad» (Números 33:51-53) Dios te ha dado una Tierra Prometida. Es un lugar donde fluye leche y miel, donde todo lo que necesitas será suplido. Un lugar donde puedes mantener al pecado debajo de tus pies mientras gobiernas y reinas con Cristo. Un lugar donde ningún arma forjada contra ti prosperará. Un lugar donde puedes sentarte con Cristo en lugares celestiales, sobre principados y potestades, —lejos de la opresión—. Al estudiar la Palabra de Dios, descubrirás que ésa es una descripción precisa de la clase de victoria que deberías experimentar en Cristo; no después de tu muerte, sino aquí y ahora. Quizás digas: “Sí, me parece una gran teoría, pero aquí sigo en la lucha diaria. El arriendo mensual ya venció y todo lo que veo es enfermedad, opresión y temor. Esto no se parece en nada a una Tierra Prometida”. Eso te sucede porque ¡todavía sigues permitiendo que el diablo viva allí! Sabes, él no recogerá las cosas y se irá sólo porque Dios te ha prometido la victoria. Tienes que echarlo fuera. Pero no dejes que ese pensamiento te atemorice. Dios te ha dado el poder para hacerlo. ¿Recuerdas lo que dijo Jesús?: «Miren que yo les he dado a ustedes poder para aplastar serpientes y escorpiones, y para vencer a todo el poder del enemigo, sin que nada los dañe» (Lucas 10:19). Es más, ¡el diablo ha sido totalmente desarmado! En Colosenses 2:15, dice: “[Dios] desarmó a los poderes y a las potestades que estaban en nuestra contra, e hizo una valiente demostración exhibiéndolos públicamente, triunfando sobre ellos en…[la cruz]” (AMP). No tienes razón alguna para sentirte intimidado por el diablo. Jesús lo derrotó y lo inhabilitó mediante Su muerte y resurrección. El diablo no puede derrotarte a menos que lo dejes. Todo lo que el diablo puede hacer es lanzarte amenazas sin ninguna clase de fundamento. Pero ¡ten cuidado! Esas amenazas pueden detenerte bruscamente si las crees. Así que no lo hagas. En lugar de eso, cree en la Palabra de Dios. Usa la Palabra y el Nombre de Jesús para echar fuera al diablo hasta de las cosas más pequeñas de Tu vida. No le permitas quedarse en tu territorio. Oblígalo a preparar sus maletas y largarse. Es hora de que poseas tu Tierra Prometida.

Geography not being one of my strengths, I did not realize so many countries are considered in North America, but here they are; thank you all for listening to the podcast and sharing in the kingdom's concert of prayer.The wedding of Cana demonstrates the impossible God doing the impossible! At Mary's enigmatic request, Jesus asserts that His time has not yet come. In the language of Mary and Jesus, that meant, "I'll take care of it." Jesus turned at least 120 gallons of water into the finest of wines in a moment. This miracle, however, was not for the masses, but for the wedding guests. For at least five of the guests, there was a special purpose, but today we learn:Our So What?We pray in faith, and looking to God for the answers, we will see those seemingly small miracles that the Biblical characters experienced, too. Next time, we will see how our simplest prayers sometimes ripple out to have meaning far beyond all our expectations.

John 21:1-14 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.   3 “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.   You're Not Caught Out for That   After you've been caught out, don't go back in.    4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. 5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.   After obedience comes overflow.     7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.  8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.    After you've been caught out, you will need others to help carry the blessings.       9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.  12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.    Jesus pursues a relationship above results.      14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.   Jesus turns disappointments into disciples.

As We Wait | May 18, 2025Pastor Bria BradshawJohn 21:1-3 ESV - After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 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.✓  WHAT'S FAMILIAR✓  WHAT'S CONTROLLABLEI can let the waiting change me, or I can let God change me in the waiting. AS WE WAITJohn 21:4-8 (ESV) Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 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. 7 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. 8 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.1. WHO WE DEPEND ON CHANGES.Question - Where is God inviting you to no longer depend on you? John 21:9-14 (ESV) When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.2. WHERE WE GO SEARCHING CHANGES.Question - What have you been out searching for? John 21:15-17 (ESV) When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.3.

Today's Topics: Gospel - John 2, 1-11 - On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and His disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you." Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. 1, 2, 3, 4) Father William Wagner, ORC, joins Terry to discuss the Wedding feast at Cana and the role of the Blessed Mother in the Economy of Salvation

In his sermon, Pastor Jeff Wickwire emphasizes the significance of mothers, particularly focusing on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her profound advice to simply "do whatever He says." He explores the story of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana, highlighting how inviting Jesus into our lives is crucial for experiencing transformation and miracles. Pastor Wickwire explains that our lack, whether it be hope, love, or fulfillment, can only be filled by turning to Jesus, who invites us to trust Him and obey His guidance. Ultimately, he encourages the congregation to open their hearts to Jesus and follow His teachings, as true change and divine intervention occur when we act in faith. 05.11.2025 | Mother's Day 2025: Water to Wine | Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Pastor Dave Gargano's sermon on Mother's Day highlights the significance of recognizing problems and seeking Jesus for miracles, illustrated through the story of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding. He emphasizes that a relationship with Jesus is crucial for understanding and applying the "recipe" for miracles, which includes obeying His commands. Pastor shares that while everyone faces challenges, it's essential to approach Jesus and participate in the miracle by acting in faith, even when the situation seems impossible. Ultimately, through trust and obedience, miracles can manifest in our lives, reflecting God's care for both the big and small issues we encounter.John 2:1-11 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

Sunday, 11 May 2025   Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. Matthew 10:4    “Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, the ‘also having betrayed Him'” (CG).   In the previous verse, the list of the twelve named apostles continued with six names. The final two are mentioned next, beginning with, “Simon the Kananaios.”   The name Simon has been explained. The title that is given to him is Kananaios, sometimes translated as a Canaanite. At other times, it is translated as a Zealot or some other word indicating being zealous, like the word Patriot. The word is found only here and in Mark 3:18, again describing the same person. In Luke 6:15 and Acts 1:13, the same person is described with the word zélótés, to be zealous.   The reason for all the variances is that there is a dispute about where the word is derived from. One supposed root is the Hebrew word qanna, which means jealous. It is a word used six times in Exodus and Deuteronomy when referring to the Lord, speaking of His jealous nature. Some apply this root to indicate a zealous nature for the Lord.   That would make sense based on Luke's use of zélótés as a comparable meaning word. However, it is questionable if a title given only to the Lord would later be applied to people. If it were, it would be as an honorific, saying something like, “He has the Lord's jealousy guiding his life.”   However, as noted, others translate the word as Canaanite. This seems to be less preferable because he would have been a Jew, but it could be that he associated himself with the land of Canaan as being the home territory of the Jews and wanted to restore it to Jewish control. However, another word group is used in Greek to indicate Canaan. Thus, this translation is rather unlikely.   Another option is the occasional translation of this word as a Cananaean. That would mean he was from Cana of Galilee. This is not improbable. As it is a transliteration, this rendering doesn't do any harm. It simply gives an Anglicized rendering of the Greek.   Leaving the Greek directly transliterated into English avoids a mistranslation, and so that is what has been done here. Next, it says, “and Judas Iscariot.”   The name Judas is derived from the Hebrew Yehudah, meaning Judah. Judah was the fourth son of Jacob, born to Leah as recorded in Genesis 29:35.  His name means Praise. The name in Greek includes Jude, the author of the book of Jude. It is also translated as Judah in Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Each time, it is in Jesus' genealogy.   The title Iscariot is from the Greek Iskariótés. It is believed to be a transliteration from the Hebrew words ish, man, and qirya, city or town. Thus, he would be a man of the city or a man of Kerioth, a city in Israel noted four times in the Old Testament. If he were from Kerioth, he would be the only non-Galilean apostle because Kerioth was a city found in the territory of Judah. Of him, it next says, “the ‘also having betrayed Him.'”   He is introduced into Scripture with the sad epitaph attached to him. Later, using the word apóleia, meaning destruction, ruin, loss, etc., other than the antichrist, he is the only person called a son of perdition in Scripture –   “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” John 17:12   “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4   It is as if these two notorious men were born to be destroyed. Such is the nature of misusing one's freewill to work against the Lord.   Life application: The names of the apostles are recorded, some with descriptors to give further hints about their nature. From there, some of them will have various things said about them. Peter is recorded as having denied Jesus and been weak in his stand for proper doctrine, as recorded in Galatians 2.   Thomas is forever known as a doubter. He is used as an example of this quality today, such as, “Come on, man! Stop being a Doubting Thomas.” David is known as a man after God's heart. Jeremiah is known as the weeping prophet. Nabal the Carmelite is known as a fool.   We will all be remembered before others and before the Lord for how we conducted our lives. What is it that you want to be remembered for? “He was a faithful Christian.” “He was a loving father.” “He was one greedy dude.” Like the designation of these apostles, we are generally summed up with a very short thought when remembered by others. What few words do you expect people will remember you by?   Lord God, we are living our lives out before others and in Your presence. How will we be remembered when we are gone? Help us to consider this and to do our best to live our lives in a manner that will honor You and reflect the positive qualities of faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Amen.

He was one of the Twelve. He was born in Cana of Galilee; some accounts say that he was the bridegroom at the wedding at Cana, where the Lord Jesus performed his first sign (John ch. 2). After receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, he preached the Gospel in Africa; he was privileged to die by crucifixion, like his Lord.

Saturday, 10 May 2025   Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Matthew 10:3   “Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, the taxman. Jacob the ‘of Alphaeus,' and Lebbaios, having been denominated Thaddaeus” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus' apostles began to be listed. The next names in the list begin with “Philip.”   Philip has been with Jesus since the time He was in Judea, as is recorded in John 1. However, he is only first mentioned here in Matthew's gospel. This was a common Greek name, especially because of the founder of the monarchy of the Macedonians, Philip, the father of Alexander the Great.   The name is derived from philos, friendly, and hippos, a horse. As such, it signifies Lover of Horses. Next, it says, “and Bartholomew.”   This is not a given name, but signifies Son of Talmai. The word bar is the Aramaic word for son. Talmai would be the name of his father. It means Plowman. Hence, he is Son of Plowman. Bartholomew is believed to be the same as Nathanael.   If so, he was from Cana in the Galilee, as is recorded in John 21:2. The two were together in John 1:44. As such, it would make sense that they are listed together and probably were sent out together. Nathanael is from the Hebrew Nethanel. It means Given of God or God has Given. Next in the list is “Thomas.”   The name is derived from the Hebrew to'am, twin. As such, his name means Twin. He is also called Didymus, the Greek word for Twin. Next, it says, “and Matthew, the taxman.”   Matthew was introduced in Matthew 9:9. He is the tax collector called by Jesus, who is also known as Levi. In Mark and Luke, Thomas and Matthew are named in reverse order.   The seeming implication is that Matthew and Thomas are twins, with Matthew being the older. However, in his humility, he places his brother Thomas, the twin, first. Whereas the other two place him according to birth order. This is only speculation, but it does fit. Next, it says, “Jacob the ‘of Alphaeus.'”   Jacob is derived from the Hebrew Yaaqob, the meaning of which was explained in Matthew 1:2. His father is identified as Alphaeus. It is believed to be derived from the Hebrew name Heleph found in Joshua 19:33.   That comes from the noun kheleph, an exchange. In other words, “Your compensation for this will be this.” That comes from khalaph, a verb signifying to pass on or pass through. The sense is still of a change, though. Thus, the name means Change or Exchange. Next, it says, “and Lebbaios.”   This name is only found in some Greek texts. Others skip it and go straight to his other name. This name is believed to be derived from the Hebrew word lev, the heart. The extended word derived from that is levav. This gives the sense of courage (and in being heartened).   Therefore, the name probably means Heart, Courageous, Sentimental, or Lionlike. In other words, something to do with the condition of the heart. Of him, it says, “having been denominated Thaddaeus.”   In other words, this is a name bestowed upon someone. The name is believed to be derived from the Aramaic word tadday, the breast. As such, it may be a somewhat euphemistic way of calling him something like Breast Boy, meaning “mommy's boy.” It may speak of his immaturity or of his inability to break away from her control.   Life application: In these names, like in all things in the Bible, we are being given information about other things. Some of these names will make connections back to Old Testament passages so that when they are studied, typology will be revealed.   It is not wise to jump to sudden conclusions, making dubious connections until a thorough study of the words and names is made. This is especially true when using English translations. Quite often, people will read a passage that may have the same English word in the Old Testament that is found in a passage in the New Testament.   From there, a conclusion is made that there is a pattern or parallel. However, when the root words are studied, it is discovered that there is no etymological connection. In other words, a pretext was formed by wrongly associating two passages which had nothing to do with one another.   This is quite common, and it has led to piles and piles of incorrect deductions. However, once such incorrect connections are made, they quickly get passed on and become standard teachings, even though they are wrong. As such, it is always best to take patterns and parallels based on English words with a grain of salt until one is sure that the connection is valid. Therefore, be circumspect in what you accept.   Lord God, thank You for the challenge Your word presents us. We are given this treasure and should, therefore, handle it carefully. Help us to remember to do so at all times. May we never teach something that is not first checked out and substantiated to be correct. Help us in this, O God. Amen.

Coincidiera este pasaje con el correspondiente a ese día en el calendario litúrgico, o lo escogiera expresamente, el hecho es que él proclamó el cumplimiento de esa profecía en su propio ministerio. Como Mesías, Cristo había venido al mundo a predicar, literalmente, «el año de gracia del Señor» (NBE).Esta expresión se refería al año del jubileo. Nuestro término castellano «jubileo» tiene una raíz hebrea, yobel, que hace referencia al cuerno de carnero utilizado como trompeta para anunciar ese año excepcional, y una raíz latina, derivada del verbo iubilare, que significa gritar de alegría. Cuando Jerónimo vertió la Biblia del hebreo al latín entre los años 391 y 406, tradujo la palabra hebrea yobel por el término latino iubilaeus, con lo que quedó reforzado el matiz de júbilo del significado original que tenía la palabra en el antiguo Israel.En el año de gracia todo descansaba, incluida la tierra. Se daba libertad a los esclavos, se cancelaban las deudas y se restituían a las familias de origen las posesiones que se habían tenido que malvender o hipotecar, o que se habían perdido por desahucio o por cualquier otra desgracia (Lev. 25: 10, 39-54). Así se recordaba que Dios es el dueño y que nosotros solo somos sus administradores.Los israelitas apenas observaron esta práctica mientras tuvieron un país propio, es decir, desde la colonización de Canaán hasta la deportación a Babilonia. El Talmud asegura que desde la dispersión de los israelitas forzada por Roma a finales del siglo primero, ya no hubo más jubileos, puesto que la mayoría de los judíos vivían en tierras que no eran suyas, ajenas al principio del año de gracia. Jesús parece ser el último judío que promovió públicamente la celebración de ese año solidario que invita a agradecer a Dios lo que tenemos y a compartir con los que tienen menos.¡Qué hermoso sería que hoy, cuando solo unos pocos acaparan la mayoría de los bienes del mundo, respondiéramos a la intención divina con algún gesto concreto de amor, de solidaridad y de esperanza para los más desfavorecidos y decidiéramos que este fuese para nosotros un año de gracia!Señor, muéstrame qué puedo hacer para que este sea un año de gracia. 

Hers is the greatest motherhood story of all time. You know who she is: Mary! Her story has been told many times, but how grateful we are that it's recorded in Scripture. Whatever God's reasons for choosing this particular woman to give birth to Jesus, we know that she must have loved the Lord with all her heart.And just think how her head and heart must have been spinning when the angel visited her and told her the special job God was going to give her!Luke 1:46–48 says, “And Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.'” We know little about her beyond that, although we are given some fascinating details: she socialized with her Son, as we see at the wedding in Cana. And of course, she was with Him at His death. No mother should have to endure that, but Mary was very strong. Her toughness and love ring like a bell through time. We remember her way of finding patience and faith.Maybe the most amazing thing about her is that God trusted Mary with an initial secret that would have floored most people! She handled it, though. The mother of Jesus was ready when her time came.Let's pray.Lord, Mary, the mother of Jesus, shows us a great example of love. It is also a mystery of sorts for us, but we know that this amazing mother is experiencing supernatural joy, forever, in Heaven! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places   Romans 8:28 (NIV)“We know that God works all things together for good to those that love him and are called according to his purposes.” Romans 8:31-39 (NLT) “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?  Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else?  Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.  Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. We are now the ambassadors…Representatives of the kingdomRepresentatives of the personRepresentatives of the valuesRepresentatives of the invitation When we read about Jesus in the Gospels, we can ask ourselves a series of questions:What is being communicated?What can I learn?What can I apply or adjust accordingly?What can I imitate?What needs to be formed in me? John 21:1-14 (NLT)“Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee. This is how it happened. Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. Simon Peter said, ‘I'm going fishing.' ‘We'll come, too,' they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, ‘Fellows, have you caught any fish.' ‘No,' they replied. Then he said, ‘Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!' So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, ‘It's the Lord!' When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore.  The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread. ‘Bring some of the fish you've just caught,' Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. ‘Now come and have some breakfast!' Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?' They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.”

JOHN 4:43-54 - NOBLEMANS SON - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 4:34 "Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

May 4, 2025. Fr. Tyler's homily for Carroll's Mass of Sacraments where 10 students received sacraments in the Catholic church this evening. Pray for us!   Gospel John 21:1-19  At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We also will come with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?" They answered him, "No." So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something." So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish. When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you just caught." So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come, have breakfast." And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to Simon Peter a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep." Jesus said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."    

John 21:1-19   Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 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 after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, you have no fish, have you?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net to 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 there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." A second time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go." (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, "Follow me."

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On today's episode, host Hunter invites us into day 122 of our journey through Scripture, focusing on First Chronicles 16, Psalm 106, and Matthew 19. Together, we reflect on God's enduring faithfulness, the story of Israel's wanderings, and Jesus' teachings about marriage, hard-heartedness, and what it truly means to follow him. As we listen, Hunter guides us to see how all of Scripture points to Christ, the bridegroom, as God's answer for our hearts. Alongside our Bible readings, we'll spend time in prayer—seeking God's purpose, asking to become instruments of his peace, and remembering that we are deeply loved. So, grab your Bible and join us as we warm ourselves by the fire of God's love and continue to grow together, day by day. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus is the answer for our hard hearts. In today's reading from Matthew 19, Jesus says something remarkable about the law: it is a concession to our hardheartedness. The laws given, even about divorce, are an acknowledgment of our rebellion, our tendency to live life apart from God. God gives the law not as his ultimate desire for us, but as a way to deal with our brokenness and stubbornness. But that is not where the story ends. The answer is not the law. The answer is Jesus himself. Throughout scripture, we see marriage as a significant signpost. It was at a wedding in Cana that Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine. And at the end of time, there is the promise of a great marriage feast—the marriage supper of the Lamb. All of scripture is pointing to this bridegroom, our Lord Jesus, who longs to transform our hearts and give us new life. He is God's answer to our heart's deepest need, far surpassing anything the law can do. The religious leaders came to Jesus trying to corner him with the law, but Jesus was not distracted by their traps. Instead, he offered freedom—the kind of healing only he can bring to hearts that are hardened by sin, disappointment, and pride. Jesus is the one who comes near with compassion, who makes all things new, who invites us to leave behind our old ways and follow him into abundant life. This is the answer for us today. Not more rules or burdens, but the loving, transforming presence of Jesus. The one who turns water into wine, the one who welcomes the little children, the one who calls rich and poor alike to lay down what stands in the way and receive the treasure of his kingdom. And that's the prayer of my heart today: that I will let him. That's what I long for my own soul, for my family, and for you. That we would open our hearts to the bridegroom, to the only one who can truly make us new and set us free. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

In this sermon, Pastor Rob McCoy explores John 2:1-11, the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, presenting it as a profound encapsulation of the Christian life. He emphasizes marriage as God's design to resolve human loneliness, surviving the fall in Eden, and reflects on its microcosmic representation of Christ's love for the church. Pastor Rob highlights Jesus' choice to reveal His glory at a wedding, underscoring the importance of family and obedience to God's will, as exemplified by Mary's directive to “do whatever He says.” Through the servants' faithful actions and the transformation of water into superior wine, Pastor Rob calls believers to trust Jesus with life's problems, reject legalism, and embrace the joy and liberty found in serving Him, encouraging a life of faith that brings glory to God.Verse References:John 2:1-11, Isaiah 41:10, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:7-9, 1 Corinthians 10:23, Ephesians 5:15-16, John 15:13, Ephesians 5:22-25, John 4:4, 1 John 4:19Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I share a talk I recently gave to a men's group at my old parish, centered on The Secret of Holiness: Lessons from Our Lady.On this special episode, released on the feast of St. Louis de Montfort—a saint who radically shaped my devotion to the Blessed Mother—I dive into the truth that Mary isn't just a part of our Catholic faith... she's essential to it. Through Scripture, personal stories, and practical guidance, I explore how Mary's humility, docility, and courage offer us a model for growing in holiness today.Holiness must be our primary goal, even before family, career, or comfort. And no one can guide us more surely to Jesus than His mother.Topics Covered:Why Mary is the “safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect” way to JesusWhat the Annunciation, Wedding at Cana, and the Cross reveal about Mary's role in salvationThe power of her last recorded words in Scripture: “Do whatever He tells you”The importance of embracing suffering, obedience, and mission like Our LadyPractical ways to grow in holiness today—starting with the Rosary, the sacraments, and ScriptureHow men and women alike can model Mary's yes in a world of distraction and indifference
