NOTES AND COMMENTARY Isaiah 55:1-9  Luke 13:1-9 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Psalm 63:1-8 VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS: Tremaine Combs Dayspring Church (St. Charles, Mo) PSALMIST IN THE FIELD: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan Patreon.com/RichardBC psalmimmersion.com NEW PODCAST TO CHECK OUT: The E and Me Podcast EandMePodcast.com Facebook Instagram   In this episode we have an inspiring and uplifting piece from Tremaine Combs on Isaiah 55:1-9. We then move into the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus seems to have a very harsh parable about sinfulness and the fig tree, but also counters the notion that all suffering is because God is punishing sin. The letter to the Corinthians takes this discussion of sin and suffering a little further. Richard Bruxvoort Colligan continues his Lenten Psalms series on Trust.

You can read the rest HERE. Thanks to Richard Bruxvoort Colligan for the story prompt! Check out his work at www.PsalmImmersion.com and the Pulpit Fiction Podcast. Story Prompts:For Isaiah: Tell a story of an experience of witnessing something that made you see yourself more clearly. For John: Richard Bruxvoort Colligan suggests that we tell a story of our own experience of power...such as "ones that have been destructive or disruptive in our past, ones we name helpful and healing, one's where the jury's still out what it was about."
