Theologians describe Jesus' ministry as “peripatetic” because he moved from place to place. He did not settle in Nazareth and told everyone to come to him. He walked around, visited, talked, and ate with people. In the five Sundays leading up to Palm Sunday, we will travel with Jesus from his temptation in the wilderness to meeting fishermen on the beach to eating with a tax collector in Jericho. Along the way, we will grow in our faith and faithfulness just as the disciples did as they walked with Jesus. Our scripture today is Luke 5:1-11: "Then Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.'"Find all Lent information and Holy Week service times and locations at villagepres.org/lent.

Jesus is teaching beside the Sea of Galilee when the crush of the crowds prompts him to climb aboard St. Peter's boat and request the soon-to-be-apostle to shove off from shore. Little does Peter know that this is only Our Lord's first request. We'll spend our episode exploring the ins and outs of fishing on the Sea of Galilee and we'll get our hands dirty in the original Greek so as to immerse ourselves into the full emotion of the exchange. Finally, we'll round out our discussion by diving into the Old Testament context for Peter's commissioning as a “fisher of men.” (Mass Reading for Feb 9, 2025) /// Join Katie's Jubilee Pilgrimage to Rome & Assisi: https://kptz.io/rome Registration is closing this March!

Need some help?" she asked with genuine ease.He: אריאל הססה לרגע, לא בטוחה האם להאמין לזר ביום שכזה.En: Ariel hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to trust a stranger on such a day.He: "אני רק רוצה להמשיך בדרכי." ענתה אריאל, בקולה מאורעותיה של תקופה קשה ואבודת חברים.En: "I just want to continue on my way," Ariel replied, her voice carrying the weight of a difficult time marred by lost friendships.He: "בהחלט! אני טובלת בצמיגים, תרשי לי רק לבדוק," אמרה ירדן בעליצות שהצליחה להפיג מעט את מתיחות הלב של אריאל.En: "Absolutely! I'm handy with tires, just let me check," Yarden said cheerfully, managing to ease some of Ariel's tension.He: בזמן שידיה המיומנות של ירדן טיפלו בפנצר, הוא שוחחה ופישרה על אווירת חג ראש השנה המתקרב.En: As Yarden's skilled hands dealt with the flat tire, she talked about the upcoming New Year in a comforting tone.He: "את יודעת," אמרה ירדן בנועם, "ראש השנה הוא לא רק התחדשות, אלא גם להיפתח לאחרים.En: "You know," Yarden said gently, "the New Year is not just about renewal, but also about opening up to others.He: איך תרגישי לקבל תפוח בדבש? הכנתי בעצמי!"En: How about a taste of apples and honey? I made it myself!"He: אריאל הנהנה, והפעם עם חיוך קטן.En: Ariel nodded, this time with a slight smile.He: הצטרפו לשיחתם על חוף הים הפסטורלי, כשהיממה השוקעת מביאה גוון חמדה ורומנטי.En: They continued their conversation by the pastoral seaside, as the setting sun cast a golden and romantic hue.He: בזמן שהשקיעה צבעה את המים בזהב, אריאל החלה לפתוח את ליבה בפני ירדן.En: As the sunset painted the waters in gold, Ariel began to open her heart to Yarden.He: היא סיפרה על הכאב, על התקווה לשינוי, על התקופה הקשה שעברה.En: She shared her pain, her hope for change, the tough period she'd been through.He: ברוח העדינה והחמה של חברות חדשה, ירדן הקשיבה ואמרה: "זו ההתחלה החדשה שלך, אנחנו פה ליד ים כנרת, ותמיד יש תקווה לחיבורים חדשים."En: In the gentle and warm spirit of a new friendship, Yarden listened and said, "This is your new beginning, here by the Sea of Galilee, and there is always hope for new connections."He: לאחר שסיימו בעודם צופים בשמש נעלמת, הם החליפו טלפונים, הבטיחו להיפגש ולשוחח שוב.En: After they finished watching the sun disappear, they exchanged phone numbers, promising to meet and talk again.He: ברקע, עלי סתיו נוספים התפזרו על הכביש, כאילו מברכים אותם להתראות על הדרך החדשה.En: In the background, more fall leaves scattered across the road, as if bidding them farewell on their new path.He: אריאל חשה קלילה יותר, מוכנה לפתיחות ולחוויות החדשות.En: Ariel felt lighter, ready for openness and new experiences.He: ירדן הרגישה שעזרה לה ולא המעטה.En: Yarden felt she'd helped her without minimizing her own renewal through small acts of kindness.He: היא חשה התחדשות בכל לבה במעשיה הקטנים של טוב לב.En: These things are even more precious during festive times.He: הדברים האלה יקרים אף יותר במועדים חגיגיים.En: They were no longer strangers.He: תחושת האנושיות חיברה ביניהם, חיברה את הדרכים שלהם, את השיחה ואת ההתחלה שקידמו ביחד.En: The sense of humanity connected them, linking their paths, their conversation, and the new beginning they embraced together.

In one of his most amazing feats, Jesus sleeps through a mega-storm on the Sea of Galilee. We'll spend our time together uncovering the quite detailed picture archaeology can paint for us about seafaring in first century Palestine and we'll also unveil some fascinating parallels between our Gospel and the Old Testament Book of Jonah. At the end of the day what we discover in our Gospel is not so much a God aloof in the face of our fears but a Son carefree in His trust of the Father and desiring the same for us.

We are human, and God understands our weaknesses. When we fail, He does not want us to give up or live with regret. Instead, he wants us to run to Him for forgiveness and restoration. Show Notes: Episode 285 Subscribe: My Daily Briefing
Have you ever intentionally walked into a situation wanting to fail? Probably not. Yet, despite our best efforts, life is full of setbacks; we fall short more often than we'd like. When we fail, it's always best to fail forward, even though it's easy to fall back into our old ways, habits, and lifestyles. Failing forward means learning from our setbacks and that helps us gain stronger and quicker comebacks. Join us this weekend as we see Jesus building people up, extending grace for their return, and teaching us the true power of failing forward with faith.

After multiplying the bread and fish, the Pharisees ask for a sign, but Jesus says he will be the sign of Jonah.

By the time we read of Jesus' birth, Herod the Great was the third richest man on earth, changing the Temple in Jerusalem into the Wonder of the Ancient World. He was also vile, and his cruelty would be legendary. This podcast will explore the problem with mixing our very fallen world with God's intention, and how religion can be used to hurt people.
For the entirety of Jesus' life, the Temple would be a place of pilgrimage, instruction, and worship. In this podcast we will address the Temple as backdrop of the Gospels, and a showdown for the saddest day on earth.
When the exiles unexpectedly return to Jerusalem and begin rebuilding, Samaritans arrive like long lost cousins to help. When the Judeans send them packing this begins four centuries of bad relations. This podcast will explore the Samaritan religion and a unique problem surrounding their Temple. Question: Have you seen how religion can get a little wrong at first, only to be very wrong later?
Whatever started with King David was over just 100 years later, with a split kingdom and two warring countries that should be family. This podcast will explore the origins of Israel and Judah, their stories and priorities, and how the Temple looms in the background as one king has a really bad idea.Question: How do we make our religion fit our priorities?
There are two back stories in Scripture that inform all the others, "Exodus," and "Exile," and we know the first because we've seen the movie. We have chapters and chapters on the Exodus, but with the Exile there are only whispers. In this podcast we will consider what it meant for God's people to lose their homes, their Temple, and most importantly, their Ark, all while discovering God is always near.Question: How have we coped with loss? How did we get busy?How is God revealed to us in times of pain?
This episode looks at the origins of the Ark of the Covenant, which also means the origins of the Tablets of Ten Commandments, which also means the origins of writing, which also means the origins of original sin. We will consider the strategy of "God in a box" and the danger of supposing that portable means anything less than Holy.Question: How has our faith weathered in times of change?
2 Samuel 7 is the most important scripture passage no one ever talks about. King David is at the top of his game, with a unified nation and new capital city, Jerusalem. Now he wants to build God a house, a Temple. In response God's prophet pulls no punches, "I don't want a house." Temples can be trouble and worse yet distracting, and in time this Temple would be both. In this episode, we will begin the contrast between worship that is nimble and pivots (the ark), worship that is fixed (the Temple), with strengths and weaknesses of both.Reflection Questions:When it comes to our religion, how do we confuse means with ends?What is the difference between "religion" and "faith?"
