Daily Mass Readings and Reflection Daily Mass Readings and reflection for 3/15/26 from Fr Jim Korda, host of Wineskins and retired priest from the Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio.
Pastor Fran preaches about how the way Jesus sees and approaches people (and calls us to) is not an admonition to be a little more loving, but rather a complete paradigm shift away from judgment and toward love!
The Summons: Grappling With God's Kingdom and KingNew Wine Into Old Wineskins Mark 3:1-6 No one likes change. Whether it's a new manager, a new president or a new housing development moving in right across the street, we all know the complaints that come with unfamiliarity. Moving away feels uncomfortable, switching jobs feels unsteady and inviting new people in can feel nerve wracking. But why do we fear change when it's guaranteed to happen? When Jesus brought forth the new kingdom, people were confronted with uncomfortable change. Some responded with flexibility, humility and resilience, while others reacted with resistance and hostility. Join us this Sunday as we explore how Jesus came to pour out His new wine, and what it means for us to become new wineskins, ready for his renewal.
Jesus said you can't pour new wine into old wineskins. So what happens when the King marks your life?In Kingdom Wineskins: Marked By the King, Pastor Larry Smith walks us through what it means to become a new wineskin disciple — shaped by humility, reflection, and holy curiosity. This is about embracing hardship instead of running from it. Taking holiness seriously. Choosing love when it costs. Practicing forgiveness daily, sitting still long enough actually to hear God.The question isn't just “What is God doing?”It's “Where is the Holy Spirit trying to grow me right now?”If you're tired of surface-level faith and ready for formation that stretches you — this one is for you.We'd love to connect with you https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/224507 Would you like Prayer today? https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/382423We pray the New Life Philly Podcast encourages you today!

Listen to this week's sermon, Parables In Practice preached by Pastor Jason Dunn from Luke 5:27-29
Jesus said you can't pour new wine into old wineskins. When the Kingdom comes, it stretches us. It disrupts comfort. It refuses to fit inside systems that were never built to carry resurrection life.In this message, Pastor Larry Smith calls the church to become wineskins that can hold what God is pouring out right now — not stale religion, but living, active Kingdom life. And when we make room for that new wine, our lives begin to carry the unmistakable aroma of Christ in a world that desperately needs Him.This isn't about hype. It's about formation. It's about surrender. It's about becoming a people who don't just talk Kingdom — we smell like it.We'd love to connect with you https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/224507 Would you like Prayer today? https://newlifephilly.churchcenter.com/people/forms/382423We pray the New Life Philly Podcast encourages you today!

Sometimes when God does the unexpected, it is a challenge to trust in His goodness. Have you been there? Jesus personified the unexpected. He revealed God's kingdom in many surprising ways. How can we be sure we correctly understand Him in the unexpected?

In Luke 5:36–39, Jesus uses the parable of new wine and new wineskins to confront the religious mindset of His critics. After calling Matthew and dining with sinners, Jesus is questioned by Pharisees and John's disciples about why His followers don't fast like they do—a sign of comparison and religious prejudice. Jesus responds by teaching that new wine (the fresh movement of the Holy Spirit) cannot fit into old wineskins (rigid traditions, mindsets, and comfort zones). He highlights the shift from the old covenant to the new, showing that God's work requires new structures and open hearts. Throughout history, the Church has struggled with clinging to what God did in the past instead of embracing what He is doing now. The real loss isn't outdated methods—it's missing the Spirit's fresh work. Jesus notes that people naturally prefer the “old wine,” symbolizing our tendency to stay with what's familiar. Yet every generation is called to remain flexible, ready to receive and steward the ever-fresh outpouring of God.

What do you do when life feels unfamiliar, upside-down, or out of your control? In this message from Daniel 1, Pastor Ben Young unpacks how to stand strong in the middle of cultural change, personal dislocation, or spiritual disillusionment. Like Daniel, you may not be able to change your circumstances—but you can choose to honor God in the middle of them. Start with one act of faith. One decision. One resolve.
Join us this week for the ninth message in our series, "Hello Jesus," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.
When we left off, Jesus was enjoying a meal at Matthew's house. Matthew happens to be our author, and he was a tax collector. That led the Pharisees and religious leaders to sneer at Jesus and question his disciples about why their teacher would eat with tax collectors and sinners. The setting for our passage on Sunday is still at Matthew's house. Having been questioned by the Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus then faced questions from the disciples of his cousin, John the Baptizer. His response was three cryptic parables about a wedding, a patch of clothing, and wine in wineskins. What Jesus conveyed touches on what I find to be the most exciting and compelling kind of study we can do in the Bible. Jesus, who has already claimed to be the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, is speaking to the connection between the old covenant, old ways, and old methods of the religious leaders of his time and pointing to the new work God was doing right in front of them. We are going to look into that connection between the Old and New Covenants (or Testaments), how Jesus redefined the work of God and the people of God, and how we can make sense of what from the Old Testament continues forward through Christ versus what was completed and fulfilled in Christ, now becoming obsolete for those who follow him.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

What might our future look like if we begin sowing the rhythm of solitude into our discipleship with Jesus?
In practicing solitude, we follow Jesus—who drew near to the Father, drew out the Enemy's lies, and drew from God's Word.
In practicing solitude—stepping away from external distractions and quieting internal noise—we ensure we are not susceptible to at least three missteps in our life with God.

By Lud Kiramidjian Jr - Speaker: Lud Kiramidjian Date: 7/5/25 Early in the ministry of Jesus Christ, Jesus spoke two similar parables that are misunderstood or ignored by much of traditional Christianity.
