A land company promised poor settlers nearly two million acres of North Texas. For some of them the promise fell apart and left only graves on the prairie. That is where this sermon begins, at a roadside marker in Grapevine, and it turns out to be where Paul begins too.In Romans 4 he points us to a promise made to a man whose body was as good as dead and a womb that was closed, and he tells us why that promise held when so many others break. It never rested on anyone's strength. It rested on grace. This is not a lesson about having enough faith. It is the announcement that the God who makes the promise is the God who gives life to the dead, in a closed womb, in a house full of mourners, and in a sealed tomb outside Jerusalem.Part of Roman Roads, a summer series walking straight through Paul's letter to the Romans, one passage at a time, each week paired with a real Texas historical marker standing on the roads around us.Readings: Romans 4:13-25 and Matthew 9:18-26 Marker: The Peters Colony in Tarrant County and the Hedgcoxe War (Grapevine and The Colony)

Suffering is something few of us want, too many of us boast about and, perhaps, not enough Christians are willing to face. Rather than grumbling and complaining over every difficult thing we face, Christians are called to be blameless and innocent–a light in a dark world. Jesus gives an example and call to his disciples to take up their cross and follow after him while Paul will tell us what our sacrifice should look like.

The miraculous provision of food for the 5,000 (recorded in all four gospels) teaches us something critical about Jesus and what it means to be his disciple. This miracle highlights how his ministry follows and yet expands the pattern set by Moses and Elijah. Further, the manner in which Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it foreshadows his redeeming death and the gift of the Eucharist which has nourished believers down through the ages. Being overwhelmed by so many people needing food, the disciples were challenged by Jesus when he told them "You give them something to eat”. This command is still relevant for us as Jesus invites us to put away all passivity, discouragement and defeatism and actively partner with him in the work that he is doing in our world today.

“And so, if church is the place we go for healing – as it should be -- the temptation is for us to be hyper aware of our own pain and woundedness and less aware … or even unaware of others'. That doesn't make us unfeeling or bad people. It's literally how we are wired.  …And … that's not Pentecost. Because there is another piece of our relationship between pain and empathy … and that is when we have been through pain, as we are able to heal from it, it increases our ability to empathize with the pain of others and be part of their healing. That is the dream of Pentecost. And that is the dream of the Beloved Community God is gathering here at All Saints Church.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from worship at 10:00 a.m. on Pentecost Sunday, May 28, 2023 at All Saints Church, Pasadena.

Your FeetThis week, we are focusing in on the physical humanness of Jesus – Jesus the walking, talking image of the invisible God. This human who had the very fullness of God in him.  We look at Jesus, and we get our clearest view of God.Yesterday, we thought about the hands of Jesus, hands that reached out to heal, protect, welcome, love – hands that ultimately were nailed to a cross.  Today, feet!Feet are among the least glamorous parts of the body I guess! We often think of them as dirty or smelly. Yet Scripture talks about feet being beautiful –  ‘How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52

November 30, 2022  Readings: Romans 10:9-18; Psalm 19:8, 9, 10, 11; Matthew 4:18-22 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/113022.cfm 

When did it come from?Welcome to Tuesday mornings devotions. This week we are thinking about sin. Yesterday we used a couple of illustrations which pick up on two of the words translated for us as sin in the Old and New Testaments. This morning we are going to ask the question where and when did sin start and how does that affect our individual and corporate lives? 

PowerWe have been thinking about the resurrection and asking how that amazing event in the journey of Jesus changes our lives. This morning, we are going to think about the way resurrection speaks of eternal life. All of us are called to the most amazing and abundant life which will continue for all eternity. Romans 8:11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Our bodies may be mortal, increasingly diminishing the older we get, but what Paul is stating here is that, whilst the clay earthen vessel is cracking, we have treasure inside that is increasing every day until we see Jesus face to face. 

This week, we have five contributors to our daily readings and reflections. We have asked them to choose scriptures that have particular meaning to them, perhaps have been helpful or influential.  Of course, all of us have passages that have spoken to us, inspired us, challenged us.  Passages that have stayed with us through the years and passages that have helped us through a season, a scripture that takes us back to a moment of decision.   I wonder what passage you would have chosen?   Our contributors this week will look at a wide number of scripture; including  Psalms, Matthew, Numbers, Romans and Ecclesiastes.
