January 3, 2025 Today's Reading: Colossians 3:12-17Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 63:1-14; Luke 2:21-40“…my eyes have seen your salvation” (Luke 2:30)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Simeon is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible. He was not a political ruler or official of the temple. He was not a man of wealth or social standing. As far as we know, Simeon held no worldly power or influence, and yet Luke tells us that Simeon was a “righteous and devout” man of God who was “waiting for the consolation of Israel.” This means that Simeon was waiting and watching in faith. He was a man who had lived his life on the lookout, and – through the Spirit – he had been given a special revelation that he would not die until he had seen the promised Christ.There must have been days when Simeon questioned and maybe even doubted the Holy Spirit's promise. “Is my mind playing tricks on me? Is my age finally catching up? What about my sins? How can God reveal the Messiah to a scoundrel like me?” And there, amid this storm of expectation and doubt, of anticipation and disbelief, of hope and despair, the Spirit acted again. Luke writes that “(Simeon) came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, he took him up in his arms and blessed God” (Luke 2:27-28).In a knowledge that could only have been divinely revealed, Simeon recognized the Christ. His eyes were opened, his forgiveness was assured, and his hope was confirmed. In unimaginable joy, he took this baby boy out of his mother's arms, and there, in the temple courts, Simeon shared the Good News that he had waited his whole life to experience: “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples” (Luke 2:29-31). These famous words of praise, called the “Nunc Dimittis,” illustrate with poetic and prophetic clarity the Good News that the Scriptures were written to proclaim: that in this baby boy, “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them” (2 Corinthians 5:19).Without God's action, we are left like Simeon to wait and wonder while life slips away. Without God's action, we are left to fend for ourselves in a world where the strong survive and the weak are trampled. Without God's action, we continue to walk blindly in the way of our sin, and it is a way that can only end in death. But through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God acts and our eyes are opened, our sins are forgiven, and life begins.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, thank you for revealing salvation in Jesus to our eyes by the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.-Rev. Thomas Eggold, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, IN.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.What makes a church "good?"

How many songs do you know about love? Do they even all agree on the definition? We invite you to continue looking at the meaning of this word with us as we look at rightly ordered and disordered love. Reading: Colossians 3:1-3 and 1 John 2:15-17.

We explore three central themes that are beginning to develop in the Bible narrative. First, we delve into the sovereignty of God and how He has the right to do what He wants over what He rules. We also discuss mankind's identity crisis and how humans often confuse their source of identity and purpose, seeking to create their own identities apart from God. Lastly, we examine the significance of sacrifices and blood in the Christian faith, highlighting how sacrifice is a central aspect of the Christian life. Reading: Colossians 1:1-23Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!Support the show: Tap here to become a monthly supporter!Review the show: Tap here!Want to go deeper?...Download the Bible Brief App!iPhone: App Store LinkAndroid: Play Store LinkWebsite: biblebrief.orgInstagram: @biblelitTwitter: @bible_litFacebook: @biblelitEmail the Show: biblebrief@biblelit.orgThis episode primarily uses the ESV Bible translation, but may also use CSB, NASB, and NKJV.Search Tags: bible, beginner, bible verse, god, verse of the day, prayer, jesus, bible study, scripture, learn, bible introduction, introduction, intro to the bible, introduction to the bible, beginner bible, bible overview, how to read the bible, what is the bible about, bible story, bible stories, what is the bible, ...

S10 Kick-Off 1 // In this episode, Pastor Joshua Ortega kicks off our Fall semester by encouraging us to be men and women of God. Follow along in Colossians 1:15-20 as Joshua challenges us to place our faith into Jesus Christ, who has already victory and saved us in His sacrificial death and redemptive resurrection. We typically read through one chapter each week and then come together on Sundays in house churches to discuss what we read. Once a month, all our house churches gather together as one body for a sermon-centered service, where we record the teaching and upload it as our podcast. This school year, we'll start studying Paul's letter to the Romans.

Reading: Colossians 3:1-17 = Surely, you would not put on dirty gardening clothes to attend a formal wedding, nor would you put on a formal dress or a tuxedo to work on your garden. Changing clothes is a very familiar illustration for all of us, and one that is rich with meaning. It is for that reason that the apostle Paul was inspired to use it to illustrate our need for spiritual transformation.

Homily for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time The spiritual journey any of us is on is about enriching oneself before God, laying up treasure in heaven rather than on earth. Life does not consist of possessions but in sharing what we possess with others. The goods of the earth have been given to everyone. Readings for July 31, 2022 1st Reading: Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 14 and 17 2nd Reading: Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11 Gospel: Luke 12:13-21

Homily for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time In the midst of our persistent prayer we realize that what we ask for might seem best for us in the moment, but there may be a higher good that God desires to give us. This greater good is the gift of the Holy Spirit, who is given to us to dwell within us, to reveal the love of God to us, to lead us to the truth, to be our advocate, to sanctify us and to empower us as witnesses of Jesus Christ. Readings for July 24, 2022 1st Reading: Genesis 18:20-32 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 138:1-2, 2-3, 6-7, 7-8 2nd Reading: Colossians 2:12-14 Gospel: Luke 11:1-13

Reading: Colossians 2:6-15 = There are subtle deceptions, according to the philosophies of men, that could take us captive. How can we recognize them, and be firmly rooted and established in the truth? How can we make sure that our contribution to the church is truly according to God's will?

Reading: Colossians 1:1-14 = The apostle Paul left us an amazing example of prayer. But what he was praying for may surprise some of us. He would ask God to fill us with all knowledge of His will, to grant us all spiritual wisdom, that we may bear fruit in every good work, and that we may attain all steadfastness and patience. That does not sound like the typical prayers we hear today, does it? How can we regain a heart like that? How can we return to such a vivid faith? Paul provided the answer that that as well.

Homily for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (10:30) The posture of a disciple, the posture of Mary is always the primary position for every one of us as a Christian... to sit at the foot of the master and to reflect his love and his life out. Our life should revolve around doing what needs to be done at the moment, but also on spending time and focusing on the Lord and his teachings. For in the end what will be the most important aspect of heaven? Gazing on the face of God as well as enjoying the bliss of eternity. Readings for July 17, 2022 1st Reading: Genesis 18:1-10a Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 15:2-3, 3-4, 5 2nd Reading: Colossians 1:24-28 Gospel: Luke 10:38-42

Homily for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (9pm) Surrender your heartache and buried hurt to God. The posture of your heart says a lot about the way you feel about God. Your heart should be in a posture of complete surrender, humility, adoration, and faith. A surrendered and humble heart tells God that you are releasing control to Him. A heart of adoration acknowledges who God was, is, and will be. A faithful heart lets God know that you trust Him to keep you. When we are not functioning from a Godly heart posture, we are not functioning in direct alignment with God. Ask yourself, “are you out of alignment with God?” Readings for July 17, 2022 1st Reading: Genesis 18:1-10a Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 15:2-3, 3-4, 5 2nd Reading: Colossians 1:24-28 Gospel: Luke 10:38-42

Reading: Colossians 1:15-28 = What do you think about when you think of Jesus Christ? God, through Paul, points us to at least seven things that we should remember and be amazed by. Do you know what they are? Are you sure you are not missing something? Knowing Jesus Christ is vital for everyone of us.

Homily for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (10:30) Why is it hard to love people well? Just as in our love for those who hate us, we cannot properly love those with whom we disagree if we are not already loving God rightly. Readings for July 10, 2022 1st Reading: Deuteronomy 30:10-14 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 19:8, 9, 10, 11 2nd Reading: Colossians 1:15-20 Gospel: Luke 10:25-37

Homily for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (7PM) “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 The story of the Good Samaritan is one that should wake us up to some not-so-pleasant truths about love of neighbor, or the lack thereof. The conclusion shows us that we should be like the Good Samaritan who showed mercy to the man in need. On an intellectual level, it is easy to conclude this fact. However, in practice, it is not always the case. Readings for July 10, 2022 1st Reading: Deuteronomy 30:10-14 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 19:8, 9, 10, 11 2nd Reading: Colossians 1:15-20 Gospel: Luke 10:25-37

Homily for The Mass of Easter Day, The Resurrection of the Lord He has risen indeed... The preaching of Jesus, His teachings, the life examples of His healing others, treating all with dignity and respect, welcoming sinners and disciples alike and His selfless giving on the Cross help us learn that His actions brings renewal to all things, restore all things, brings to life all things. He did this not just through His Person but through what He did and said as gift – through the events of His life. During this Easter Season, let us embrace our Risen Lord. To be His follower, His friend, we must act in the friendship of Christ. We must act from true love – not just for common benefit or affection, but as learned from the Father through the Son – the offering of self so we can help others receive from us what Jesus bestowed as the gift of making all things new –renewed in relationships, reborn in caring for the most vulnerable and revitalized in faith to share. Readings for April 17, 2022 1st Reading: Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 2nd Reading: Colossians 3:1-4 Sequence: Victimae paschali laudes Gospel: John 20:1-9

What you Do is determined by what you Value. This message focuses on our value that it's not about us, it's about Jesus. We exist to worship and follow Jesus individually, and as a community. We are dedicated to elevating Christ in all that we say and do. Questions for the Road: 1. How has Jesus made you NEW? How has this changed your values and actions? 2. Reading Colossians 3:17, what does it look like to do “whatever you do” in the name of Jesus in your daily routine? 3. What does the phrase “Be the Church” mean to you? How would you teach someone to put this phrase in action?

Given at Saints Joseph and Paul Catholic Church in Owensboro, KY for the Diocesan Young Adult Holy Hour.  What would our lives be like if we took the time for a small pause...a Eucharistic comma? Reading: Colossians 1:9b-11  May you attain full knowledge of God's will through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight. Then you will lead a life worthy of the Lord and pleasing to him in every way. You will multiply good works of every sort and grow in the knowledge of God. By the might of his glory you will be endowed with the strength needed to stand fast, even to endure joyfully whatever may come.
