This week we continue our study in Jonah with a look at Jonah's reconciliation with the Lord from the belly of the fish in Jonah 2. Read the text and consider what Jonah reflected on in his time in the dark, not knowing how things would turn out. What does it look like to embrace or return to God's presence when you have fallen away?

This week we start a new study in the book of Jonah. This will be a church wide study that our children and teens will be participating in as well. There are many resources for your individual, family, and group use on our website! Take some time this week to read Jonah 1. Why did Jonah try to flee from the presence of God? How do we do this today? What is your Nineveh (the place God is leading you that you don't want to go) and what is your Tarshish (the place you go to escape Him)?

May 31, Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Joy at the Presence of the Lord

Read OnlineMary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Luke 1:39–42The beautiful feast we celebrate today depicts two miraculous pregnancies. One came about by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. The other was the miraculous conception in the womb of a woman who was advanced in years. The Scripture passage quoted above presents us with the initial encounter of Mary and Elizabeth as they greeted each other upon Mary's arrival. Mary had traveled a long distance to be with her cousin for the last few months of Elizabeth's pregnancy. And upon greeting Elizabeth, another miraculous event occurred. The baby in the womb of Elizabeth, Saint John the Baptist, “leaped for joy.” Thus, even prior to his birth, John began to fulfill his unique mission of preparing the way for the Lord. He did so at that moment by inspiring his own mother, Elizabeth, with a knowledge of the divine presence of the Savior within the womb of Mary.Consider, especially, the conversations that these two holy women would have shared during their months together. Though we are given only a small insight into their initial conversation from the Scriptures, we can be certain that this was but a small sampling of what they would have discussed in much prayerful detail. In particular, their conversations would have contained a mutual sharing of the spiritual gift of joy.Joy is much more than an emotion. It is spiritual in nature. It is not only an experience of something fun, it's the experience of realizing the action of God in your life. Seeing God at work in wonderful ways leads to gratitude and rejoicing. This joy produces a strength and energy that is contagious and uplifting.We must all strive to see the hand of God at work in our own lives so that our focus upon His divine actions will produce joy also. We need joy. We need to be strengthened by this gift so that we will be encouraged and strengthened as we daily strive to fulfill His will.Reflect, today, upon the witness of joy that these two holy women give us. Know that you are called to share in the same joy as you humbly turn your attention to the ways in which God has blessed you. If you find that you lack joy in life, then consider where you allow your mind to wander throughout the day. Do you dwell on the past, on hurts, on problems and the like? If so, these thoughts will undoubtedly lead to depression and possibly even despair. Try to turn your mind to the action of God in your life. See the many blessings you have been given and savor those divine actions. Doing so will lead you to rejoice with Saint Elizabeth and our Blessed Mother.My holy infant Jesus, as You dwelt in the sacred womb of Your own dear mother, Your presence caused much rejoicing in her heart and in the hearts of Elizabeth and John. Help me to see Your presence in our world and in my life, so that I, too, will be filled with the joy of You constantly coming to me.

Seed Scripture: Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. 12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. 14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate. 15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. 16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished., King James Version In this episode, we are seeking the Lord on behalf of several right now issues that we are facing on this earth.

Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, “May the Lord give you children by this woman for the petition she asked of the Lord.” So then they would return to their home.  Indeed the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters.

Calm, rest, and peace come to us when Jesus becomes the great treasure of our lives. When Jesus is cherished as our inheritance and when we discover that he promises to give himself to us in deep personal relationship, this changes how we experience each day. Living in calm confidence is the result of prizing the Lord Jesus above all else. About the Author John Kitchen grew up on the plains of the Midwest in a good, but unbelieving family. After his father, sister, and he nearly died in an asphyxiation accident, his mother began seeking God. This led to John's surrender to Christ as a teen. God called him into ministry at the age of twenty, and he and his wife of over forty years have faithfully served together in full-time ministry since 1987. In 2020, God called the Kitchens to serve an international church in the Middle East.

In this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast, we dive into the book of Ezekiel to explore a recurring and profound theme: God's desire to be known. From the judgment and restoration of Israel to the millennial kingdom, the presence and glory of God are woven throughout Ezekiel's prophecies. We unpack how God's glory, which once departed from the temple, will one day return in fullness, fulfilling His promises to Israel and the nations. As the world celebrates the birth of Jesus, this episode offers a timely reflection on God's sovereignty, His promise of restoration, and the hope of His glorious return. Key Takeaways: God's Desire to Be Known: Ezekiel emphasizes God's longing for His people, Israel, and the nations to know Him, with the phrase "then they will know that I am the Lord" appearing 77 times between chapters 5 and 39. The Glory of God Departs and Returns: Ezekiel recounts the gradual departure of God's glory from the temple, a result of Israel's sin, but also prophesies its ultimate return during the millennial kingdom. The Presence of God in Jesus: The incarnation marks the return of God's glory in human form - God taking on flesh to dwell among us. Millennial Temple and Kingdom: Ezekiel's vision of the millennial temple highlights a new era where God's presence will dwell in a transformed Jerusalem, fulfilling His promises to Israel and the nations. A God Who Wants to Be Known: From the Exodus to the incarnation, God's actions reveal His deep desire for humanity to recognize Him and live in His presence. Chapter Markers: 0:00 – Introduction: Exploring God's presence in Ezekiel. 2:15 – The phrase "then they will know that I am the Lord" and its significance. 10:32 – God's glory departs from the temple in Ezekiel's vision. 16:45 – The incarnation: The glory of God returns in Jesus. 23:10 – Ezekiel's vision of the millennial temple and the return of God's glory. 30:20 – Reflections on God's presence during the Christmas and Hanukkah season. 35:00 – Final thoughts: Worshiping a God who desires to be known. As we celebrate this season, take a moment to reflect on God's presence in your life. Dive into Ezekiel chapters 40-48 and consider His promises of restoration and glory. Don't let the busyness of the holidays distract you - pause and recognize the God who longs to be known. Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and let's continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Shalom!

By 1969 Eric Clapton had finally gotten what he wanted - out of Cream. He felt the band (and the machine around it) was too big and couldn't deal with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker constantly at each other's throats. And so he began to hang out and jam with his friend Steve Winwood who felt like he wanted a change from Traffic. As these two titans began to formulate some new material, the bosses at the record companies smelled money and quickly got them a record deal and a tour booked. Having already brought on Ginger Baker from Cream, they added bass player Ric Grech from Family and they made a late 60s psychelic/blues/jam album with a little something for everyone. Can't Find My Way Home and Presence Of The Lord showed the band's lighter acoustic side while Had To Cry Today and Do What You Like gave the band license to do the pyschedelic freak-out jams that allowed these great musicians to showcase their talents in the style of the day. The cover sparked some controversy which led to using a flyer on the US version and their first show was in front of more than half a million people in Hyde Park. But once again, Eric Clapton quickly moved away from the big machine so this is the only album Blind Faith ever offered up. Though Clapton and Winwood would go onto reunite in 2009 to give folks a glimpse of what they were, The Wolf & Action Jackson contemplate what they might have been had they stayed together as they take you track by track.
