Friends of the Rosary,Today, June 24, the Universal Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, called the Precursor or Forerunner of the Lord in the three synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, as well as in the Book of John.Like Mary, who already in the first moment of her existence, was free from original sin, John was cleansed of original sin in the womb of his mother.Therefore, for John, the day of his birth is likewise sacred. He preceded the Redeemer, representing the Old Covenant and the Law and heralding a new dispensation of grace.The nativity of John is observed six months earlier than the birth of Christ, at the time of the summer solstice. The popular custom, centered on "St. John's Fire," symbolizes Christ the Light. John was a lamp that burned and shone.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Antagonisms Matthew 10:16-33 and Jeremiah 20:7-13 The Third Sunday after Trinity Sunday, June 21, 2026 The Rev Andrew DeFusco, Rector Church of the Redeemer, Nashville, TN www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

In this lecture, the speaker begins by using a recent boat rescue video as an illustration of risk and sacrifice for others. He then introduces the book of Ruth and frames the chapter around the question of how far biblical love goes in seeking another person's good.The sermon reviews the situation of Naomi and Ruth. Naomi, once bereaved and empty, is now concerned for Ruth's future in Bethlehem. Ruth has been providing for Naomi through her work in the harvest, and the speaker emphasizes that each woman is acting with concern for the other.The main focus is Naomi's plan for Ruth to seek security through Boaz. The speaker describes the threshing floor scene as intentionally tense and ambiguous, and explains the cultural setting in which Ruth goes at night, uncovers Boaz's feet, and waits for his response.Ruth then asks Boaz to “spread the corner” of his covering over her, which the speaker interprets as a request for marriage and for him to act as family guardian or redeemer. He explains this role as including responsibilities such as protecting family property, settling debts, securing marriages, and defending relatives.Boaz responds positively, though he notes that another relative has the first claim. He praises Ruth's character, agrees to act, and sends her away with a large amount of grain so Naomi and Ruth will have food while matters are settled.The sermon concludes by connecting the story to Christian teaching on other-centered love. The speaker says biblical love risks reputation and sacrifice for others, and points to Jesus as the ultimate example of this kind of self-giving rescue and reconciliation.

Moses was called back into Egypt to deliver that covenant people from bondage. Abraham had to walk by faith into a promise he could not fully see, while Moses had to confront a power he could not overcome in his own strength.This episode highlights an essential truth: God does not call people merely for their own blessing. He calls them to become vessels through whom His purposes enter the earth. Abraham's calling required separation from country, kindred, and his father's house. Moses' calling required surrender before the holiness of God at the burning bush and obedience in the face of fear.TS Wright also explains how both callings point directly to Jesus Christ. Abraham reveals the promise of the Seed, fulfilled in Christ. Moses reveals deliverance through blood and power, foreshadowing Christ as the Passover Lamb and Redeemer.Key ThemesGod calls people into new seasons for His covenant purpose.Abraham's calling shows faith that moves.Moses' calling shows fear that must be overcome by God's presence.Delay does not cancel the calling; delay prepares the servant.Calling is not merely an invitation to significance, but an invitation to surrender.Obedience to God may affect generations, deliverance, and testimonies we cannot yet see.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 12:1–4 Genesis 15 Genesis 17 Exodus 2 Exodus 3:2, 3:7–10, 3:14 Exodus 4:13 Hebrews 11 Galatians 3:16 Galatians 5 John 5:46 John 8:56Closing EncouragementWhether God is calling you away from what is familiar or sending you back to confront what once intimidated you, the issue is not whether the assignment is easy. The issue is whether God has spoken. If God has spoken, the right response is faith, obedience, patience, and total surrender to His will.KeywordsAbraham and Moses Calling of Abraham Calling of Moses Genesis 12 Exodus 3 Burning bush Biblical calling God's purpose Faith and obedience Christian podcast Bible teaching Covenant promise Moses and Pharaoh Abraham covenant Christian discipleship Trusting God God's presence God's promise Jesus Christ in the Old Testament Biblical faith Spiritual growth Surrender to God God's covenant plan Deliverance from bondage Faith journey Obedience to God Christian encouragement Hebrews 11 Passover Lamb Messianic prophecyTagsAbraham Moses Genesis Exodus Burning Bush Bible Teaching Christian Podcast Faith Obedience Calling Covenant Deliverance Jesus Christ Discipleship Surrender God's Purpose Old Testament Biblical History Christian Living Spiritual Growth

1 Peter 3:17-2217For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

Psalm 101, Matthew 15:10-20 The Rev. Tee Ferrer

Sunday, 21 June 2026   They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” Matthew 20:33   “They say to Him, ‘Lord, that they might be opened the ‘eyes, ours'.'” (CG)   In the previous verse, it said that Jesus stood and called the blind, asking what He could do for them. Matthew next records, “They say to Him, ‘Lord, that they might be opened the ‘eyes, ours'.'”   They use the same wording, open, as Isaiah concerning the blind. It was as if their eyes were doors that had been shut and were incapable of opening to the light. They are asking for that to be rectified. What Isaiah had said would have been known and anticipated by the people of Israel concerning the promises of the messianic era to come –   “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing.” Isaiah 35:5, 6   As noted in previous commentaries, Mark and Luke focus on one person. Matthew focuses on two. Did both come forward as seems to be the case from Matthew, or did one speak on behalf of the other? The text leaves us guessing, but there is no reason to dismiss Matthew's account.   It is generally assumed that Mark was written first. As such, he may have specifically written about Bartimaeus, having personally come to know him, or because he became known among the people. Later, however, Matthew, remembering the fuller aspect of the account, would have presented the event, acknowledging that there were two blind men.   Whatever the case is with these subtle differences, the request has been placed before Jesus.   Life application: Reading Scripture and comparing what Jesus did to what was promised concerning what the Messiah would do, it makes one wonder how Israel missed the significance of Jesus' coming. It seems so obvious when the patterns, parallels, and prophecies are laid side by side to see how He fulfilled everything necessary to prove He is the Messiah.   And yet, they missed Him. To this day, they continue to do so. Why is this the case? The reason is the same as how many people treat Scripture, their relationship with God, and their interactions with the world around them.   If we look at the contents of the Bible from a me-centric focus, we will have pity parties when things don't go well or when we think things are unfair about how our lives are in comparison to what is recorded in the word. If we look at God as the Giver of this word and think we should have been dealt a better hand, we will naturally find fault in God.   And when our interactions with others don't put us ahead of everything and everyone else, then those around us will never meet our own misdirected expectations. But the world is not about us. The Bible, though including God's redeemed in the overall plan, is not about us. And our interactions with God are no more difficult or unbearable than those presented in Scripture.   And more, seeing what God was willing to do to bring us back to Himself through the life and torturous death of Jesus, we should realize that God does love us despite whatever we are going through.   Understanding this, why did Israel miss the coming of their Messiah? It is because they have, and they continue to think that Scripture is about them. Their attitude is a culturally me-centric view of how things should be. When things don't go well for them, they simply stop believing in God, pushing Him out of their mind, as innumerable Jews live today.   Whether it is Israel as a nation or humanity as individuals, in order to receive the full understanding and blessing of what Scripture is telling us, we need to remember that it is first and foremost about God, the infinitely good and gracious Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.   The fact that we have been included in what God has done should humble us and redirect our focus away from ourselves to Him. By doing this, we will have a fuller appreciation of Scripture, and we will have a much more directed focus on how to conduct our personal relationships with those around us.   “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrew 12:1, 2   Lord God, thank You for having loved us enough to send Jesus despite our sin and turning from You. May we have the right attitude concerning our position before You, accepting what You have done in our lives, even if it is difficult, painful, or tedious. This is a temporary walk. You have given us sure promises that the best is yet to come. May we patiently endure this present walk with our eyes focused on You. Amen.

Caleb Schafer, Lead Pastor of Redeemer's Church, continues a series on the Fear of the Lord and how, when healthy, this quality can dramatically change our lives for the better. June 7th, 2026 | 6.7.26 Category: Legalism, Lawlessness, Evidence

IntroductionThroughout church history, God's people have struggled with a persistent temptation: looking to the visible means of grace rather than the invisible power behind those means. We can think that the effectiveness of the gospel depends upon the piety of the minister. Certainly, a minister needs to have a piety that rests in the Lord. The minister needs to believe the gospel message. However, we also need to see that the human vessels are the means that God uses to build his church. We are called to be faithful to our God, but it is our God who nourishes and builds his church through his ordinary means. The Human Tendency to Look to MenWhen the lame man was healed at the Beautiful Gate, the man and the crowds did not immediately recognize the source of his healing. Instead, the man clung to Peter and John, looking to these apostles as the source of life and power. This response reveals a fundamental human pattern: we naturally gravitate toward the visible and tangible. We think that human piety makes God powerful. Rather, it is God's power that cultivates human piety. Peter immediately corrects this misunderstanding, asking why they stare at him and John as if the healing came through their own godliness or power. Peter knows that it is not in his power, but in the Lord Jesus Christ. The crowds had witnessed a miracle and immediately assumed that the men performing it must possess extraordinary holiness. The signs do not testify to the man's piety, but to the man's credibility. The apostles make explicit that they did not heal the man. Their ability to heal is only because Christ has been raised from the dead, and they are sent as his witnesses. We see this same thing with Moses at the exodus. The sign testifies to his authority rather than his personal piety. This tendency to trust in the man persists in our own day whenever we find ourselves drawn to charismatic personalities or assuming that a minister's effectiveness correlates with his personal piety.Peter's rebuke reminds us that true faith looks past the clay vessel to the treasure within, recognizing that the power belongs to God alone. The minister is merely a conduit, not the source. The minister merely preaches the gospel and is not the author of life himself.The Promised Messiah RevealedPeter redirects the crowd's attention from the apostles to the "Author of Life.” He reminds the crowd that it is Jesus Christ, whom they had denied and sent to death. This title, servant, is drawn from Isaiah's Suffering Servant songs. Peter identifies Christ as the one who not only creates life but restores it. Christ is the suffering servant who overcomes the consequences of the fall and brings humanity from death to life. Peter boldly declares that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, whom Israel rejected because He did not fit their theological system. Peter's point is that Jesus Christ is the very one foretold by the prophets. His mission is to suffer before entering His glory.The tragedy of Israel's rejection becomes clear when we understand what they rejected: not merely a teacher or miracle-worker, but the Author of Life Himself. They chose Barabbas, a revolutionary and murderer. They chose the very man who did what they accused Christ of doing. They preferred a Messiah who fit their expectations, one who is a political liberator, and denied the Suffering Servant who would bear his people's sins. Peter's point is that the Messiah's suffering was not an unfortunate detour but the very fulfillment of God's eternal purpose. The resurrection confirms that Jesus of Nazareth is indeed the prophet greater than Moses whom God promised to raise up. The Gospel InvitationWe would expect Peter to dismiss the crowd and tell them to go home. They are not worthy of the Messiah's work. Peter exposed the crowd's sin and ignorance. Despite their failure, Peter extends a remarkable invitation: repent and turn to Christ for the forgiveness of sins. This call to repentance is not a demand for perfected righteousness but a call to submit to the Messiah for life. We see the Messiah as the sole sacrifice for sins. The Messiah is the life-giving power that transforms our mindset and orientation to turn to God rather than away from him, as we are naturally inclined to do without the Holy Spirit. Peter knows the grace of restoration personally. Remember that this is the same Peter who denied Christ three times, who was questioned by the risen Lord on the shores of Galilee, and who was restored despite his failure. Yes, and it was an awkward conversation. However, Christ is reassuring Peter that His grace is sufficient. Peter knows firsthand that the gospel invitation is extended not to the worthy but to the weary. Peter knows that he failed, but he proceeds in the confidence that the Lord upholds him until the end. Peter knows his need for a redeemer. The beauty of this invitation lies in its promise: sins wiped out, times of refreshment from the Lord, and the sending of the Christ who has been appointed for Israel. Peter emphasizes that this promise extends to all whom God calls, far beyond the immediate audience. The prophet, like Moses, continues to speak, and those who heed him find life. Peter gives a warning: those who refuse this prophet will be cut off from the people. Peter also gives the assurance that those who turn to Christ in faith and repentance find their sins forgiven and their hearts renewed. The gospel is not a call to admire the apostles or aspire to their spiritual achievements, but a call to find life in Christ alone.ConclusionThe apostles do not seek the people's worship. No, the apostles point us to the One who is worthy of worship. Christ, the Author of Life. Yes, the second person of the Trinity has done the Father's work. The Father and the Son send out the Spirit to equip and empower God's people to stand firm in the storms of this age. The one God who has been faithful to his people confirms the prophetic promise in Christ. Our best spiritual achievements only manifest themselves in the power of our Lord's redemptive mercy. We are called to find our identity not in our own significance but in our Redeemer. We live under His authority rather than measuring ourselves against human standards. When we are tempted to trust in what our eyes see, we are called to walk by the eyes of faith. We are tempted to trust in the eloquence of the preacher, our Christian growth, our performance, but the call is to bow the knee in service to the One and only Triune God who calls us into his presence. The power that healed the lame man, that raised Christ from the dead, and that continues to work in His people today is the same power that calls us to bow the knee to Jesus Christ. Let us find our contentment in Him alone.

1 Peter 3:8-178Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10For“Whoever desires to love life    and see good days,let him keep his tongue from evil    and his lips from speaking deceit;11let him turn away from evil and do good;    let him seek peace and pursue it.12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,    and his ears are open to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”13Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

Send us Fan MailRomans 8:1–17: No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, and Adoption as God's Children Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 8:1–17 (RSV) on “Pondering the Bible,” focusing on Paul's shift from despair in Romans 7 to assurance that there is “no condemnation” for those in Christ, especially in the end-time judgment. They explain that believers are judged by what Jesus has done, not by the law weakened by the flesh, and emphasize the role of the indwelling Holy Spirit as evidence of belonging to Christ. They interpret “living by the Spirit” as being troubled by sin and pursuing sanctification, and they discuss verses 9–11 as pointing to the Trinity. Using an ancient slavery-and-redemption analogy, they describe Jesus as redeemer and conclude with believers' adoption as God's children and heirs with Christ; they recommend the NLT for clarity and note a week off for Vacation Bible School before finishing Romans 8. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:21 Romans 8 Reading 03:22 No Condemnation Explained 06:04 Judged by Different Rules 08:45 Flesh vs Spirit Mindset 09:18 Do You Have the Spirit 13:02 Trinity in You 16:04 Debtors and Redeemer 20:05 Adoption and Heirs 23:03 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Women of the Word is a character study through the lives of women in the Bible: women who were stretched, trusted, obeyed, and were used by God in powerful ways. But, more than learning from their example, each woman ultimately points to Jesus - the true Savior, Redeemer, and fulfillment of every story in Scripture.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, June 12, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast designated the Friday after the Second Sunday of Pentecost.In the late 17th century, St. Marguerite Marie Alacoque, a cloistered nun of the Visitation Order, received several private revelations of the Sacred Heart.The devotion to the Sacred Heart calls for an “attitude of conversion and reparation, of love and gratitude, apostolic commitment, and dedication to Christ and his saving work,” as the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy denotes.The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,"Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: "The Son of God. . . loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal 2:20). He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation (Cf. Jn 19:34), "is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings" without exception (Pius XII, Enc. Haurietis aquas (1956): DS 3924; cf. DS 3812).Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “The essential nucleus of Christianity is expressed in the Heart of Jesus; in Christ the whole of the revolutionary newness of the Gospel was revealed and given to us: the Love that saves us and already makes us live in God's eternity. Even our shortcomings, our limitations, and our weaknesses must lead us back to the Heart of Jesus. His divine Heart calls to our hearts, inviting us to come out of ourselves, to abandon our human certainties to trust in him and, following his example, to make of ourselves a gift of love without reserve.”Today is also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. The World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests takes place every year on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Day 2879 – “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost”  based on Luke 8:22-39 Putnam Church Message – 05/10/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost.”   Last week's message was “Freedom from Bondage,” in which we learned that, regardless of the storms of life we face or the bondage we have experienced, through Christ we can withstand them and live free because believers fight on the winning side. Today, we continue with our twenty-second message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Never Too Little, Never Too Lost.” Our core passage today is Luke 8:40-56, which is found on page 1607 of your pew Bibles. Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman 40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years,[a] but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”  46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” 49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don't bother the teacher anymore.” 50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” 51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. “Stop wailing,” Jesus said. “She is not dead but asleep.” 53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened. Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today as people who sometimes feel rushed, overlooked, unclean, afraid, delayed, or disappointed. We confess that we often measure people by status, strength, influence, or usefulness, but Jesus never does. Lord, open our hearts to Your Word today. Help us see that no one is too little for Your attention, and no one is too lost for Your grace. Teach us to trust You when life is urgent, when hope seems delayed, and even when it feels like death has spoken the final word. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing to You, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Introduction: Jesus Looks at the One I read a story about the former president of Taylor University, Jay Kesler, who once said with a smile, “I have an office full of pictures in which I'm shaking hands with great dignitaries, all of whom are looking at someone else.” That line makes us laugh because we know exactly what he means. We have all seen it. Someone important shakes your hand, but their eyes are scanning the room. They are already looking for the next person, the next opportunity, the next more important conversation. But Jesus is never like that. If Jesus were to shake your hand, He would not be looking past you. He would not be distracted by the crowd behind you. He would look into your eyes, into your soul, into the places you hide from everybody else, and He would say, “You matter to Me.” That is the heartbeat of our message today: Never Too Little, Never Too Lost. We are continuing in Luke 8:40–56, and I encourage you to read the full passage from the New Living Translation. Luke places two stories together that belong together: the dying daughter of Jairus and the suffering woman who touched the edge of Jesus' robe. One is a young girl from a respected household. / The other is an unnamed woman pushed to the edges of society. One has a father who can publicly plead her case. / The other has no public advocate at all. One is twelve years old. / The other has suffered for twelve years. One is loved in the center of the community. / The other has lived on the outside, isolated by illness, shame, and ceremonial uncleanness. And Jesus moves toward both of them. That is good news. Which brings us to the first of four truths today. Main Point 1: Jesus Is Never Too Busy for the Broken Luke tells us that when Jesus returned to Galilee, the crowd welcomed Him because they had been waiting for Him. This is important. In the previous passage, Jesus had crossed the lake into Gentile territory. There, He delivered a man who was possessed, tormented, isolated, and living among the tombs. We called that message “Freedom from Bondage.” The people of that region saw a transformed man sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind — and they asked Jesus to leave. Now Jesus comes back across the lake, likely to the area around Capernaum, and this crowd is waiting. Can you imagine the scene? People are pressing forward. Some are hoping for healing. Some are curious. Some are desperate. Some just want to see what Jesus will do next. And then a respected man steps out of the crowd. His name is Jairus. Luke calls him a leader or official of the synagogue. He was probably not a rabbi, but a lay elder — the kind of man who helped oversee worship, teaching, building care, and community matters. / In a Jewish village, the synagogue was not merely a church building. It was the center of communal life. Jairus would have been known, respected, and influential. But on this day, Jairus is not standing tall as a dignified religious leader. He falls at Jesus' feet. Why? Because his only daughter is dying. Parents understand this scene immediately. There are few fears deeper than the fear of losing a child. Jairus does not come to debate theology. He does not come to protect his reputation. He does not come wondering whether being seen with Jesus might damage his standing among other leaders. His daughter is dying, and suddenly nothing else matters. It reminds us of the centurion in Luke 7, whose beloved servant was near death. It reminds us of the widow of Nain, whose only son had died, and Jesus stepped into her grief before she even asked. In that message, we said, “There is Always Hope.” Here again, Luke shows us that Jesus moves toward human sorrow. And notice this: Jesus goes with Jairus. He does not say, “I am too busy.” He does not say, “There are too many people here.” He does not say, “You synagogue leaders have not always supported Me.” He does not say, “I just came back from a stormy voyage and a difficult rejection.” Jesus goes. Object Lesson: The Calendar and the Empty Space Imagine holding up a packed calendar or a long to-do list. Every line is filled. Every hour is claimed. There is no margin. Then hold up a blank sticky note and place it in the middle. That blank space represents the interruption. Most of us do not like interruptions. We say, “I was on my way to something important.” But Jesus shows us that sometimes / the interruption is the ministry. Jairus interrupted Jesus' public welcome. / The suffering woman will interrupt Jairus' emergency. /...

If someone asked you what the Bible is really about, could you answer in a single sentence?While we await the release of a new season of Paul's 5-Minute Bible Study, we're revisiting the first introductory episodes. Today, Paul explains that the Bible is ultimately not about rules, stories, or principles, but about Jesus Christ, our great Redeemer. You can listen to the complete 5-Minute Bible Study journey through the Old and New Testaments at PaulTripp.com/BibleStudy, or by subscribing to the dedicated Paul Tripp 5-Minute Bible Study Podcast channel.

A literal translation of this passage is "do nothing out of a hunger for glory". He pushing hard against the Roman culture of self exaltation. That same spirit is hard at work today in our culture. But the upside down gospel of Jesus says that if we seek humility then Christ will exalt us! He will lift us up!!! So wake up. Jesus is calling you to die to yourself and follow him. Will you answer?

1 Peter 3:1-71 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.7Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
