This powerful exploration of Romans 15 challenges us to consider our role in God's grand mission. We discover Paul commending the Roman church for three remarkable qualities: they were full of goodness toward one another, filled with knowledge of God's truth, and able to instruct each other in wisdom. This presents a beautiful picture of what mature Christian community looks like - not dependent on leaders for every spiritual question, but equipped to counsel and encourage one another through life's challenges. The message reveals Paul's unique calling as a pioneer apostle, someone hardwired by God to lay foundations where Christ had never been named. What's striking is Paul's humility - he boasts only in what Christ accomplished through him, not in his own abilities. This leads us to a profound truth: God set Paul apart before he was born, transforming the chief persecutor of Christians into the greatest missionary the church has known. If God can radically redirect someone like Saul of Tarsus, He can work in any of our lives. The practical application becomes clear when we see Hope Church's mission efforts - nearly a million dollars given to local, national, and global ministries in just over four years. We're reminded that some are called to go as pioneers into new territory, while the rest of us are called to support, encourage, and send them with more than just thoughts and prayers. The harvest is ripe, and whether we're called to plant churches in unreached areas or to faithfully support those who do, we all have a part in God's mission to reach the world.**Detailed Notes**• **Context – Romans 15:14–21, 22–33** – Paul is closing the letter, affirming the maturity of the Roman church and explaining his ministry calling and travel plans. – The sermon framed two big sections: (1) Practical church life, (2) Partnership in mission.---### I. A Mature Church (v.14)1. **Full of goodness** – Uprightness of heart and life; gracious toward one another. 2. **Filled with knowledge** – Deep, growing understanding of the faith (grace + truth). 3. **Able to instruct one another** – Mutual counsel, not clergy‑only; Col 3:12–17 – teaching, admonishing, worshiping together. – Sunday gatherings align us for mission; the church body does the “work of ministry” all week.---### II. Paul the Priest (v.15–16)• “Priestly service of the gospel” – not Old Testament sacrifice, but **offering Gentile converts to God**. • Every believer is part of a **“royal priesthood”** (1 Pet 2:9): servants of the King who bring people to Him.---### III. Paul the Preacher (v.17–19)• Paul “proud” only in what **Christ accomplished through him**. • Ministry must be: – Empowered by the **Spirit**, not human skill alone. – Dependent: “In him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). • Hudson Taylor: “God's will done God's way brings God's provision.” – Faith often feels impossible → difficult → done.---### IV. Paul the Pioneer (v.20–21)• Ambition: preach **where Christ is not named**, lay new foundations, then move on. • God had **set Paul apart before he was born** (Gal 1:15–16), transforming a persecutor into an apostle. • Some believers are similarly marked for pioneering ministry; they are miserable doing anything else.---### V. Partnership in Mission (v.22–33)• Paul longs to see Rome, then go to Spain, expecting their **help on his journey** (support). • Model of **local → national → global** mission: – Local ministries (kids, recovery, crisis pregnancy, etc.). – National church planting. – Global works (schools, long‑term missionaries). • The “5%” go; the “95%” **strive with them** in prayer, practical care, and financial support.---## Practical Applications1. **Grow into maturity** – Pursue goodness, biblical knowledge, and the ability to counsel others. Join and contribute to a group. 2. **Own your priesthood** – See people you share Christ with as your “offering” to God. Pray for one person to pursue this week. 3. **Rely on the Spirit** – Before serving, consciously ask the Spirit to lead; reject self‑reliance. 4. **Discern your calling** – If you feel “marked” for ministry or missions, don't ignore the burn; seek wise counsel and take next steps. 5. **Support those who go** – Pray by name for missionaries; give sacrificially; look for “root beer”–type ways to encourage them.---## Discussion Questions1. Which of Paul's three commendations (goodness, knowledge, ability to instruct) do you see most and least in your own life? 2. How does viewing yourself as part of a “royal priesthood” change your view of everyday life and work? 3. Where have you been tempted to rely on your own ability instead of the Holy Spirit? What might dependence look like this week? 4. Do you sense any specific calling from God (vocational ministry, missions, church planting, or something else)? How are you responding? 5. As a group, what concrete step can you take to better partner with those “on the field” locally, nationally, or globally?

To Everything a Season: Lutheran Reflections Through the Church Year
In this second episode on the work and office of Christ, we begin our discussion on the priestly office of Christ.
This evening we trace two approaches to living a moral and holy life, so that a person who chooses to become a Nazir - prohibiting for themself otherwise permitted pleasures - is both praised and criticized. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks helps us understand how both can be true, and which is best for us. Rabbi Moshe Alshech helps us understand the convoluted wording concerning Birchat Kohanin, the Priestly blessing - who is giving the blessing: the Kohein or God? The answer is the key to parenting and other forms of leadership. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation.

Wednesday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time. On the 26th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, Father Dave muses on how today's readings highlight humility.

From 24/5/26Mike shares on Hebrews 7 and the order of Melchizedek - focussing on what lies beneath this Priestly imagery and what the author is trying to communicate about who Jesus is!
What is Jesus doing right now? Most people know what Jesus did in his earthly ministry in the past. Some people know what Jesus will one day do in the future. But what is Jesus doing today? Priestly ministry.17-05-2026 - Lucas Durant

In the original “The Devil Wears Prada,” a hapless Andrea Sachs stumbles into the office of Miranda Priestly, the exacting editor of Runway magazine and a titan of the fashion world. The film, released in 2006, was adapted from a novel by the former Vogue staffer Lauren Weisberger, and it spun the glamour of the industry into a crowd-pleasing confection for the big screen. Two decades later, the atmosphere of its sequel is darker. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the reality-inflected elements of the new film, which finds Priestly and her team chasing clicks and catering to the whims of billionaires who might solve Runway's financial woes. The question of billionaire influence was also present at this year's Met Gala. The event's lead sponsors were the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who reportedly donated ten million dollars to become honorary co-chairs. Attendees paid a hundred thousand dollars just to get in the door. Why, the hosts ask, does the gala still matter to the average fashion enthusiast? “It's the one time where, divorced from utility and other reasons, it's O.K. to just look at fashion,” Cunningham says. “I tend to defend our opportunities to just look at things that provoke pleasure.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:The 2026 Met Gala“The Devil Wears Prada” (2006)“The Devil Wears Prada 2” (2026)“Guys Are Wearing Slutty Little Reading Glasses Now” (GQ)New episodes drop every Thursday.

If I were to ask you who it is that's responsible for making the world holy most of you would respond your priest or your minister or someone who works for the church. While this may be true, what's the place for a businessperson or working professional or stay at home mom or even grandparents for that matter? In his letters to priest from 1996, Pope John Paul II makes a compelling case for the special way that people can make the world holy too.

Gird your loins, folks! We've accepted the low-paying position of assistant to Miranda Priestly, the legendary editor-in-chief at Runway Magazine, the fashion crown jewel of the Elias Clarke publishing empire. A million other people would kill to have this job, but it's sure to open up big doors for us in the future. Ms. Priestly's a little demanding, and doesn't like us to ask questions, and doesn't like when we don't understand things, and calls us fat, but all things require a learning curve. On an unrelated note: The podcast is covering The Devil Wears Prada (2006), the millennial classic about a hard-working striver who doesn't think she can please her boss, before wouldn't you know it, she pleases her damn boss? It might end up being the role Meryl Streep will be best remembered for, and she's truly electric in this movie. But Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are also incredible! And Anne Hathaway's doing her thing. Now, about that: During the history segment, we really try to unpack why people don't like Anne Hathaway. Including one of the people who hosts this podcast. Also in the history segment: The life and times of Vogue editor Anna Wintour; Lauren Weisberger working for Wintour and then writing a thinly veiled novel about it; how that novel was adapted into a movie; and how playing Priestly catapulted Meryl Streep into being a box office sensation for the first time in her career.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director David Frankel about making his hugely anticpated new film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, in cinemas now. The iconic – and iconically vicious – Editor-in-Chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) is watching the publishing world fall apart. As her retirement nears, she finds herself facing off against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her one-time assistant turned high-powered executive, who's sitting on advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs. To bring Runway back to life, her right-hand man Nigel (Stanley Tucci) turns to an unlikely new hire: Miranda's other former assistant, the once-unfashionable Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway). Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon.

Leviticus 8-10 | JD Summers Because God is holy, we need faithful priestly ministry. God prescribes this ministry and also enables it. He blesses priestly ministry when done in obedience to his will, and judges it when it's performed unfaithfully. Preeminently, though, God provides the ultimate priestly ministry through his Son, Jesus Christ, who is not only our Great High Priest, but also our perfect sacrifice, freely offered on our behalf. Let us rejoice in this great grace and boldly approach the throne to receive mercy from our loving High Priest.

Exodus 19:3-6 – Priestly Kingdom
Fr. Mike reflects on the prayer of Jesus before his sacrifice, where he not only prays for all his disciples but for us as well. We also dive into Christ's trial with Pilate, and how the actions of the Jews are much like ours today. Today's readings are John 16-18 and Proverbs 6:12-15. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
Pastor Mike Karns preaches from the book of Hebrews about the priestly work of Christ in heaven on behalf of his people.
Peter Leithart, Alastair Roberts, Jeff Meyers, and James Bejon continue their series on the book of Malachi, beginning with a reflection on the literary texture of the book - its ragged, agitated syntax and its striking use of repetition. They then take up remaining threads from Malachi 1:6–14, with particular attention to verse 11 and its vision of pure incense offered to the Lord among the nations — exploring what this means for the dispersion of temple worship, provocation to jealousy, and the Messianic age. The conversation moves into the opening verses of Malachi 2, where the Lord addresses the priests not merely as those who preside at sacrifice but as those entrusted with Torah on their lips — a portrait of priestly ministry that sheds light on the pastoral office in the new covenant.

Study Guide The Mishna discusses the classification of the various meal offerings based on their components, examining which offerings require both oil and frankincense, which require only one of them, and which require neither. To clarify the source of these laws, the Gemara cites a braita that derives the various cases where oil, frankincense, or both are excluded from the verses concerning the Omer offering (the meal offering of the first fruits). During the analysis of the braita, the Gemara analyzes the choice of exclusions and questions why the Midrash focused specifically on the cases mentioned in the braita rather than excluding the law of the Priestly meal offering (minchat kohanim) instead. The Mishna rules that one who adds both oil and frankincense to a sinner's meal offering transgresses two negative prohibitions. However, there is a difference between adding oil and frankincense. If one adds oil, the offering is disqualified as it cannot be removed, but if one adds frankincense, it is not disqualified as it can be removed. Rav bar Rav Huna asks about frankincense that is crushed into small pieces that cannot be removed: is the offering disqualified, as it would be with oil, or is the issue with oil specifically that it is absorbed, whereas this frankincense is not absorbed into the mincha? Three attempts are brought to answer the question. After rejecting the first two, the third leads to the conclusion that it is disqualified.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe shares a profound insight on Parshas Tetzaveh, inspired by a D'var Torah from Rabbi Blachman (Jerusalem). The Parsha describes the High Priest's vestments twice mentioning the names of the 12 tribes: once on the Choshen (breastplate) with individual stones over the heart, and again on the Avnei Shoham (shoulder stones of remembrance). Why the duplication? The sages explain it as a model for every Jew, especially the Kohen: the heart must first hold deep love and concern for every fellow Jew (as exemplified by Aharon, the ultimate lover and pursuer of peace – ohev shalom v'rodef shalom), feeling their pain and joy internally. But love alone is insufficient; the shoulders must carry their burdens – sharing grief, challenges, and responsibilities as one's own ("you're my brother, you ain't heavy").Rabbi Wolbe illustrates this with stories: Aharon reconciling disputants through empathy; Reb Chaim Shmulevitz's Yom Kippur teaching that one who hasn't lost sleep over the Jewish people's spiritual/physical plight has no business praying; feeling Hashem's "pain" over estranged children; carrying joy (dancing alone for a distant student's wedding); and practical empathy (e.g., yellow ribbons for hostages as reminders to feel others' pain). He stresses avoiding desensitization in a news-saturated world, pursuing peace without quarrels (a Kohen in conflict couldn't serve), and living beyond oneself – feeling others' burdens while maintaining joy (as the Shechinah rests only in simcha). The episode ends with a discussion on positive communication (e.g., the Still Face experiment, praise boosting performance) and responding to children's needs through listening rather than waiting for tantrums._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 27, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 2, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe shares a profound insight on Parshas Tetzaveh, inspired by a D'var Torah from Rabbi Blachman (Jerusalem). The Parsha describes the High Priest's vestments twice mentioning the names of the 12 tribes: once on the Choshen (breastplate) with individual stones over the heart, and again on the Avnei Shoham (shoulder stones of remembrance). Why the duplication? The sages explain it as a model for every Jew, especially the Kohen: the heart must first hold deep love and concern for every fellow Jew (as exemplified by Aharon, the ultimate lover and pursuer of peace – ohev shalom v'rodef shalom), feeling their pain and joy internally. But love alone is insufficient; the shoulders must carry their burdens – sharing grief, challenges, and responsibilities as one's own ("you're my brother, you ain't heavy").Rabbi Wolbe illustrates this with stories: Aharon reconciling disputants through empathy; Reb Chaim Shmulevitz's Yom Kippur teaching that one who hasn't lost sleep over the Jewish people's spiritual/physical plight has no business praying; feeling Hashem's "pain" over estranged children; carrying joy (dancing alone for a distant student's wedding); and practical empathy (e.g., yellow ribbons for hostages as reminders to feel others' pain).

Fr. Mike explains how the holy garments for priests described in Exodus 27-28, are intentionally designed to glorify God and highlight his beauty. He also gives us an insight into the heart of the priesthood. We read today from Exodus 27-28, Leviticus 20, and Psalm 119: 57-120. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
