"Jesus Son of David, have pity on me!"
Scott Lambert focuses on Jesus' Emmaus walk to give us context for our walks with Jesus – Son of God and our Savior – observing that, while salvation is personal, our worship (and the whole of the church on earth) is a team activity. “Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?" – John 14:1-2 (NLT)
(Rm.1:1-7; Ps.98:1-4; Lk.11:29-32) "You have a greater than Jonah here." Greater than any prophet is He. Wiser than Solomon is the Lord who is the source of all wisdom. For it is He of whom the prophets speak; it is His promised coming "the Holy Scriptures record." The fulfillment of prophets and kings is in our midst. Our high priest is with us offering the sacrifice of Himself. Let us thirst for Him as the Ninevites did for Jonah's preaching and seek Him as the queen of the South for Solomon's wisdom. Let us listen to His servant and apostle Paul as he proclaims the Gospel of God and come to "obedient faith" with all the Gentiles "who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ." Salvation is upon us as it is all nations. If Jonah's preaching was great, the Lord's is the greater. If he converted thousands, Jesus turns millions to the love of God. If Solomon was wise, our Lord is so much the wiser. For though this great king spoke well of all things of the earth by the grace of God, the Christ comes now with the wisdom of the richness of heaven. And so now we are all "called to holiness, grace and peace." It is these gifts which are imparted to us "from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." And by these blessings we become His children, greater indeed than any prophet or king of old. Yes, the fulfillment has come. "The Lord has made His salvation known." "All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God." His Word is brought forth even now, even this day to our hearts in the preaching of the Gospel that is Christ Jesus – "His resurrection from the dead" signals the redemption of all mankind. And so we celebrate. And so we "sing to the Lord a new song" as we, too, participate in His death and resurrection with the beloved apostle Paul, even as we come to the table set before us by His grace and holiness. May that same "Spirit of holiness" which made Jesus "Son of God in power" now touch our souls and separate us from all that is unholy. May we respond in kind with the Ninevites to Jonah's preaching, that they might not condemn us on the last day for our lack of faith. May the wisdom which comes to us now by the grace poured forth from His lips sink into our hearts and find a place in our lives. For no greater than He shall we find; let us not be blind to this sign. ******* O LORD, how blessed are we to hear the Gospel! – let us repent and reform our lives. YHWH, you have made your salvation known in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, your Son. He indeed is our salvation, the very life of those who follow Him, who listen to His preaching and reform their lives – who join themselves to Him and to His Church. May we not be condemned for our deafness to His call but set our hearts on the wisdom that comes to us through Him and through His apostles, that indeed we might be saved and rejoice in your presence on the day of judgment. With Him let us be raised from the dead. May the Name of Jesus be proclaimed to the ends of the earth that His Gospel might be the source of salvation for all souls. Let peoples come from the furthest corners of the world to hear that your promise has been fulfilled in your Son and the Spirit of holiness is now upon all who are obedient to His call. For this grace let us sing your praise, O LORD!
If you've ever tried standing in the strong current of a river you've sensed what it's like to experience something more powerful than yourself. For every believer in and follower of Jesus the powerful truth that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us," should be an experience like that, only greater. Jesus came, fully God, and took on humanity not just to visit, but dwell among us, full of grace and truth. Follow along with this sermon from John 1:14-18 as we discover how through faith in Jesus — the one who reveals the Father — we receive God's “grace upon grace," providing us with the fullness we need to stand firm in life and to live for his glory.Also on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OEKGwdGotESunday, October 5, 2025Pastor Kevin PierpontCalvary Church, Webberville, Michiganhttps://webbervillechurch.org

This week in Mark 10:32-52 we hear about, "Jesus: Son of Man, Son of David".
O apostle of the Lamb, man without guile led by love to the Lord, you who declared Jesus Son of God and King of Israel, whose eyes of faith were illumined by angels' wings – pray we shall be found by the Christ under our fig tree in peace, in prayer, and carry with you His holy Gospel to the very ends of the earth. With you as a foundation stone, one of the Twelve, may the Bride of the Lamb be led to her Husband, her heart burning with love for Him alone; her soul thirsting only for God's presence, may her eyes be opened to see her Lord. To vision of Heaven pray we all come by an angelic belief in the Son of Man.

• When Jesus saves, He also imputes • For Jesus to be the Savior, He had to be sinless • Jesus: Son of God and Son of Man • The incarnation of Christ is the clearest revelation of God • What was mankind's response? Why was it necessary for Jesus to be sinless in order to die for our sins? Listen to this lesson to learn that only someone who was sinless could pay for the sins of all mankind. So Jesus had to be born of a virgin not to receive a sin nature and had to live a sinless life. Hear a definition of imputation and understand that when someone believes in Christ as their Savior divine righteousness is imputed to them. Hear the importance of the missing "article" in Mary's genealogy in Luke.
Weekly sermon from Trinity Church Denver
Zach, Craig, and Lance look at the last two sections of Mark 10 and the two names that are given to identify Jesus: Son of Man and Son of David. Each one carries unique meanings that deepen our understanding of who Jesus truly is.
Theme From Sunday's Sermon: The Trinity: One God in Three Persons On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: Yesterday we talked about Jesus referring to Himself as the "Son of Man." Today I noticed we're looking at a scripture that calls Jesus "Son of God." What does this title mean? So are you saying that when the Bible calls Jesus the "Son of God" it is not a divine title? Do you think the idea that Jesus is the divine Son of God is one of the concepts that cause people to reject Jesus? In your life as a Christian, do you think of Jesus more in terms of His deity than you do His humanity? Why? The reading for the day is: Numbers 15:17–16:40 Mark 15:1-47 Psalm 54:1-7 Proverbs 11:5-6
“When He took the three disciples to the mountainside to pray His countenance was modified, His clothing was aflame Two men appeared, Moses and Elijah came They were at his side The prophecy, the legislation spoke of whenever he would die”— Sufjan Stevens, “The Transfiguration” Luke 3:21-28

Welcome to Church of the City New York's Advent Devotionals. Jesus was good news in the first century, and He is still good news today. One of the most iconic passages read during the Advent season comes from Isaiah 9, where the Prophet proclaims the light has dawned for those living in darkness, a child will be born, and a son will be given, the Messiah, who will bring peace with God and with mankind by ruling on David's throne. We hope that during this season everyone listening will gain a renewed desire to walk in intimacy with Jesus and to boldly proclaim the story of God's Son to others.

From the responsorial psalm: "Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked Nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent, But delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on his law day and night. Those who are victorious I will feed from the tree of life." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 18:35-43) As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me!” The blind man in today's Gospel is a model of persistent prayer and expressing it in a way that catches God's attention. It is also a model of evangelization. The blind man shouts and calls out to Jesus to be heard. Although initially rebuking him, on seeing the blind man healed and giving glory to God, the same crowd who rebuked him turn around and give praise to God. The healing that takes place through his faith is a kind of multiplication of the loaves, where shared among others it multiplies many times over. A prerequisite for the blind man's healing is his lack of sight, his desire to see. This speaks to every person who lacks something in faith that love and repentance restore so that we can try again. As the Lord says in the first reading: "you have lost the love you had at first. Realize how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first." The blind man gains sight; in his faith and miraculous healing, he gives us cause to give praise to God. God, help me understand today's Gospel in light of the Gospel acclamation: "I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life." Every day, Lord, there is reason to call out to you; I lose sight of you and stumble in the dark, realizing more and more that I am dependent on you for every good gift. In giving all thanks and glory to you for restoring in me the light of your love time after time—in prayer, at Mass, and in the sacraments—help make my faith in you a witness to others and a cause for them to give you praise. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lectio-divina-daily/support

Sunday Sermon from 8/18/24 at Christ Church
Week 2 | Who is Jesus? “Son of Man” was Jesus' favourite way of referring to Himself. Darrell explores where the term originated, what it meant to first-century Jews, and why Jesus' use of it outraged the religious leaders and confused His disciples. What, then, are the practical implications for us today? As the Son of Man, Jesus has final authority over all life. Knowing this puts our own lives in perspective and we are faced with a decision: will we risk everything to follow Him?

Are the titles "Son of God" and "Son of Man" simply echoes of ancient scripture, or do they offer a gateway to the profound mystery of Jesus Christ? Step into a captivating conversation with Father Stephen Sanchez, a Discalced Carmelite Priest, as we navigate the historical and theological landscapes that these enigmatic titles inhabit. We delve into the complexity of Jesus' identity, examining the duel between divine proclamation and diabolic temptation in the wilderness. Father Sanchez brings a refreshing perspective to the discussion, as we sift through layers of biblical language and centuries-old theological discourse, challenging conventional interpretations within Trinitarian theology.The episode further unravels these mysteries by probing the encounters between Jesus and demonic forces, contemplating the limits of angelic knowledge and the cosmic implications of their recognition of Jesus as the "Son of God." What secrets of the celestial rebellion do these confrontations reveal? In this episode we confront the hypostatic union—the union of Jesus' humanity with His divinity. The insights of saints and the faithful remind us that comprehending Christ is an ongoing voyage, one that beckons us to explore the nature of our own relationship with the divine through prayer and reflection. Join us as we seek to unearth the enduring mystery that is Jesus Christ.Have something you'd love to hear Fr. Stephen and John talk about? Email us at myfriendthefriar@gmail.com or click here!

As we prepare for the Easter season and celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we often sing the hymn “I Know That My Redeemer Lives.” But what if we temporarily shift our focus from rejoicing that the Redeemer lives to rejoicing in how he lived for us? In this episode Professor Tyler J. Griffin, associate dean of Religious Education, discusses his article “I Know That My Redeemer Lived” from The Power of Christ's Deliverance. He emphasizes how everything the Savior did and said in his day-to-day life was focused on helping others and doing God's will. In recounting Christ's service and miracles, trials and tribulations, and Crucifixion and Resurrection, Professor Griffin illustrates how the Savior chose to live each day for us. Ultimately, knowing how Christ lived for us can empower us to emulate his example and become more like him. Click here to learn more about Tyler J.
