Week 9 - Genesis 18-23: "Why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice his son?"

In this Ash Wednesday devotion, we encounter a woman who poured out a year's wages in perfume on Jesus. It was an act others called wasteful, but Jesus called beautiful. As we begin Lent by confronting our mortality and sin with ashes, we're reminded that though we deserve dust, Jesus paid the ultimate cost so death wouldn't get the final word—He does.Series Summary: The religious leaders at the cross hurled a challenge at Jesus: “Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” They demanded proof before faith. But the Gospel of Mark, especially in its story of the Passion, invites us into a different reality: believing in order to see. From the anointing at Bethany to the silent emptiness of the tomb, Jesus' journey subverts our expectations. The one hailed as king is crowned with thorns. The one with power to calm storms submits to arrest. The consistent, sure thread through the chaos is his Word. As the angel at the tomb reminded the trembling women, “He is going ahead of you…just as he told you.” As we study through Mark's Passion, we are invited to follow Jesus—not by sight, but by faith in his sure and leading Word.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Ryan Gable explores the startling synchronicities between the approaching 3I/ATLAS interstellar object and the sudden political disclosure of interdimensional entities. In this episode, we decode why the search for "aliens" and "gods" may be focused on the wrong horizon, while the true shift occurs through the integration of AI and ancient messianic prophecy.From Harvard's Avi Loeb and his "Messianic Era" predictions to Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's recent 2025 testimony on beings outside of time and space, we analyze the symbolic names—Luna, Kratos, and Atlas—that mirror our modern push for global power. We further examine the escalating reports of the red heifer sacrifice in Israel, the cube-like anomalies near the sun, and the rise of AI development in Herzliya as the potential "Mechanical Elf" of the celestial regions. Is the New Jerusalem a masonic metaphor or a literal interstellar arrival? *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

February 23-March 1I remember the first time I visited the massive, ancient building erected by Herod the Great in Hebron. He had it built over the Cave of Machpelah more than 2,000 years ago to mark and protect the sacred resting place of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah. I walked into the building as a ten-year-old with a covering over my head and my parents, brothers and a number of friends at my side. There was one place where you could go to your knees and carefully look through a brass grate and see into the cave below. A small lamp was burning there. A feeling came over me at that moment, not only that this was a sacred place, but that I was connected to Abraham. He was my direct-line grandfather. I have never forgotten that moment.

A Feast before Sacrifice… that's Divine Order. Even in the streets, even in the Scriptures, GOD shows you there's a season to gather before there's a season to give up. Fat Tuesday ain't just about food,.. it's about awareness. It's the last taste before the Fast, the final celebration before discipline sets in. In the Bible, there was always provision before the wilderness. Joseph stored grain before the famine. JESUS ate with HIS disciples before the cross. See, GOD will let you sit at the table, but HE's preparing you for Elevation through Elimination. The feast is gratitude. The sacrifice is Growth.A Feast before Sacrifice | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 181) Trappin Tuesdays

As we begin the season of Lent, let's look at how we live our lives in our marriage and in our motherhood.Our ordinary life is the perfect vehicle to embrace the goal of Lent, which is conversion.  As wives and mothers, our days are filled with opportunities to convert our heart, mind, and body to God.  Do we recognize those opportunities, and do we take up our cross daily to follow Jesus or do we ignore the opportunity to make our everyday holy?I also mention in this episode the opportunity to connect with me through 1:1 coaching.  For more information, CLICK HERE.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

In the thrilling conclusion of the RPGBOT.Pulp Cthulhu Actual Play, our heroes discover that Luck points are real, sanity is optional, and jetpacks are — scientifically speaking — extremely explosive plot devices. Bjorn steals the Necronomicon with telekinesis, Murray forgets who he is, everyone falls in love with the villain thanks to eldritch karaoke mind control, and the final boss fight is resolved using the timeless tactical doctrine of: "What if we shot the jetpack?" Featuring heroic sacrifice, catastrophic math, spontaneous dismemberment, and a helicopter extraction that arrives precisely when pulp cinema demands it — this episode delivers the important lesson that Call of Cthulhu isn't about surviving intact. It's about surviving spectacularly. Show Notes The finale opens with table banter and a brief plug for ongoing Pulp Cthulhu play opportunities before the Keeper resets the stage and reviews key mechanics — including luck recovery, spending luck for survival, and sanity system nuances. The players regain luck and receive a reminder of how it can modify rolls, negate damage, or even prevent death — rules that soon prove critical. A sanity check against newly transformed ghast enemies immediately escalates tension. Randall's character loses significant sanity and enters a bout of insanity, gaining amnesia and temporarily forgetting context and equipment while acquiring an "insane talent" that grants unusual resilience to pain. This mechanical disruption reinforces Call of Cthulhu's psychological stakes and introduces roleplay chaos at the outset of combat. Combat begins in the ritual chamber where Scarlet Arachnus attempts to complete her summoning. Gunfire exchanges with the ghasts while Arachnus deflects harm through magic. Randall lands a devastating critical hit on one creature, while Tyler pivots toward objective play — targeting the ritual itself. The Necronomicon becomes the center of the encounter as telekinesis is used to wrest control of the artifact from the villain, disrupting her casting momentum. The encounter spikes in complexity when Arachnus unleashes Siren Song, charming allies and nearly turning the party against itself. Iowa succumbs completely, while Tyler resists. Surrounded and nearly dead, Tyler resorts to a desperate solution — coordinating with Randall's jetpack maneuver. The resulting detonation obliterates Arachnus and the ghasts, collapses magical support sustaining the enemies, and nearly kills the party in the process. Randall survives only by spending luck to avoid certain death. After the blast, the ritual collapses, the remaining threats dissolve, and the survivors secure the artifact. Extraction arrives via helicopter — a fitting pulp cinematic conclusion — as the buried ruins vanish beneath the sand, ensuring their secrets remain hidden. The episode closes with post-session reflections on system feel and character impact, cementing the adventure as a chaotic but successful demonstration of Pulp Cthulhu's tone and mechanics. Key Takeaways Luck mechanics are central survival tools and dramatically influence outcomes Sanity loss meaningfully alters gameplay through narrative and mechanical disruption Insanity effects can produce both hindrance and unexpected advantages Objective-focused play (stealing the artifact) can end encounters faster than damage trading Mind-control effects reinforce Mythos horror stakes beyond physical threats Pulp tone encourages cinematic risk and heroic sacrifice Improvisation and environment use can resolve otherwise lethal encounters Narrative pacing culminates in high-stakes chaos followed by cinematic resolution Actual Play effectively demonstrates mechanics through emergent storytelling The finale showcases how Call of Cthulhu balances horror tension with pulp heroics Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

The owl is wisdom. The bull is nature and carnality. The owl requires sacrifices of your pleasure and worry, to obtain wisdom; the bull requires sacrifices of innocence and responsibility to obtain pleasure. Ultimately the bull and its horns correspond to the nature of time, and Saturn, because Saturn plants in us the seeds of our own destruction. That's why he eats his own children. If you interpret it literally, then as some have, they sacrifice children on the altar to that deity. Physical children, not metaphoric ones. Bulls represent the body of the world soul and the invidiuah soul. Owls represent the human ability to rise above the world. Bulls are the feet and owls are the head. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Trades grow when leaders grow. In this solo episode, Chad breaks down the real work of leadership in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical: sacrifice, habits, unseen effort, and passion. He shows how a leader's day-to-day routine quietly shapes technicians' income, families, and even Christmas mornings. Hear how to trade busy work for high-impact work, build simple daily habits that move revenue and culture, and embrace the "unrequited work" no one sees, but everyone feels.

Hold Fast - Once For All _ Jesus, Our Better Sacrifice

Lent is the period in the Church's calendar to where the faithful are encouraged to rekindle their relationship with Jesus through practices such as prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Come Easter, we can rise with Christ a new creation. This blogcast explores “Lenten Transfiguration" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Kate Fowler and read by Jonathan Harrison.“Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.” -Luke 9:32Twice in the Gospels we hear of the trio of disciples sleeping at pivotal moments in Christ's life and ministry: at the Transfiguration – in this Sunday's Gospel – and in the Garden of Gethsemane during Christ's Agony. Both times, Christ is in deep prayer. And both times, Peter, James, and John are “overcome by sleep.”I get it. The group of men have just hiked up a mountain. It would have been normal to rest after such a grueling endeavor. Similarly, in the Garden, Jesus took the three disciples to pray after the Feast of the Passover—a long, filling meal complete with wine. I think of all the times I've napped after a holiday meal and sympathize with Peter, James, and John.  In these scenes, they are so human. They become tired and rest their eyes. And yet, because of their physical tiredness, they miss out on God's glory.In this week's Gospel for the Second Sunday of Lent, Jesus is transfigured and his three beloved disciples are offered a glimpse of the glory to come—not only the glory of the Resurrected Christ, but the glory that awaits all men and women who allow themselves to be transformed by his grace.This Lent, I find myself asking, “Am I asleep with his disciples? What's causing me to shut my eyes to God's glory?” These questions are what have guided my Lenten journey as I discern how to grow in holiness this season.  Each year, the Church in her wisdom asks us to reflect on what is making us spiritually sluggish and helps us prepare for Easter through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. By ramping up in these three Lenten tenets, we can grow in our ability to see God's will and the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.Had the Apostles been awake throughout the entirety of Christ's Transfiguration, they would have basked longer in this glory—fear and confusion would not have gripped them. Lent calls us to wake up, to be alert, not only for the Easter celebration, but for God's invitation to greater holiness throughout our lives.Pope Francis highlights Lent as the continuation of the “journey of conversion.” This journey is a lifelong one. And yet, seasons such as Lent, which focus on an even greater attention to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, often spur us deeper and further on this journey towards Christ.As Pope Francis encouraged in his 2019 Lenten message:Let us not allow this season of grace to pass in vain! Let us ask God to help us set out on a path of true conversion. Let us leave behind our selfishness and self-absorption, and turn to Jesus' Pasch. Let us stand beside our brothers and sisters in need, sharing our spiritual and material goods with them. In this way, by concretely welcoming Christ's victory over sin and death into our lives, we will also radiate its transforming power to all of creation.The goal of Lent is not only Easter, but Christ Himself. This Lent, may our participation in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving help us shake off the drowsiness that shuts our eyes to God's glory. For more resources to accompany you throughout your Lenten journey, please click here.Questions for Reflection:  Am you asleep with Christ's disciples?

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and LegacyHost Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity. Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies. He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.' On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control. 00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser)01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist)03:06 Amir's Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S.04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK22:53 Why Ophthalmology?

Inside our theme of love this month, this week we are focusing on teaching our kids what love is. We have to lead and be their example, to help them see by words and actions that authenticity is the only way to understand love, especially the brand of love God gives us, not what the world throws at us every day. Real love and intimacy require vulnerability and sincerity. For all these reasons, God's Word is the original love letter from His heart to ours. So with that in mind, let's get started:Regardless of your church or spiritual background you likely know some or all of John 3:16. But sometimes when a verse becomes almost cliché, we can miss its meaning. We no longer consider the deep truth behind the words. For that very reason, I want to read verse 16 and 17 today from The Message Bible. But before I read, I want to challenge you to do something that might be tough, especially if you have any sort of issue with God, and what you feel He has allowed to happen in your life … I want you to hear this passage as if it was the first and only thing you have ever heard about God and His love. … Listen closely to every word …“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; (John 3:16-17 MSG)Hearing this truth with fresh and unbiased ears, what did you hear? Love? Sacrifice? A whole life? No accusations but setting the world right again? And the closing word? … Trust in Him equals acquittal. … Wow.There is no question that the enemy of God, along with the events that occur in a broken and fallen world muddy up and mess up us seeing God as love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness.Whatever negative and harmful concepts life has planted in your heart toward God, I want to encourage you to try and erase those lies and replace it with the truth of God's Word.Whatever your concept of God is, that is what you will show your kids. Your attitude and actions will far outweigh anything you say. To teach them the correct view of their heavenly Father, who Jesus called Abba or Daddy, you will have to first view Him as the God we hear about in today's passage. So what needs to happen for you to correct your view of biblical love, not what the world has shown you, but what God wants to give you … and your kids?Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, Abba, Daddy, help me to get rid of any wrong ideas or concepts I have that are not right about You. I never want anyone to misunderstand or misrepresent me, so help me to learn how to get You right … in my attitude, actions, and words … and to teach my kids who you really are. As above, so below.”

"Sacrifice has always been the way that we demonstrate a transfer of trust"

Speaking of Covenants (as we do this week), to get really in depth learning about the covenant, join Steven Harper and myself on a cruise where we discuss the New and Everlasting Covenant in a series of ten lectures/discussions/workshops. This will be fantastic! Plus we dock at Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya, and more! Learn more at https://restorationtravels.com/nec-cruise/ In this episode Kerry and Mike Goodman explore some elements of the Abrahamic Covenant. Then Kerry delves into the wonderful but mysterious symbolism of the sacrifice Abraham made when he covenanted with God, and the dividing of the animals in half, and what that has to do with your covenant and with the renewal of your covenant at the sacrament every week. Then Kerry and Phillip Allred explore why Abraham wanted to covenant with God, and why God chose to covenant with Abraham, and how that covenant relates to other scriptural stories of covenants.

In this “In Brief” section of the Catechism, we review that only God has the power to create, that is, to call into existence something from nothing. God made man and the entire universe as a manifestation of his love, and he keeps the world and all of us in existence by his will. Fr. Mike discusses one of the greatest mysteries of our faith: God bringing good out of evil. He says we won't fully understand this mystery until we are united with God in heaven. In a broken world, we are called to trust in the goodness of God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 315-324. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris opened their show by discussing the looming MLB lockout after the 2026 season. It seems like MLB owners are willing to sacrifice the 2027 season to get a salary cap implemented. Later, Rahimi and Harris discussed the NBA issuing fines to the Jazz and Pacers for their recent roster management that led to losses.
