- Acts 3: 13-15, 17-19
- Psalms 4: 2,4, 7-8, 9
- 1 John 2: 1-5a
- Luke 24: 35-48
- God's promise fulfilled
- Couples sometimes speak of "us" as an entity in its own right, beyond the two members of the couple. Some theologians have described the Holy Spirit as the love between the Father and the Son, the embodiment of the relationship between them.
- How do you regard your relationship with God? Does that relationship flourish or weaken over time?
- How often do you take a reading on how that relationship is doing?
- Trust and peace
- What are some times that God has answered your prayer in your life?
- What does that tell you about the God whom we worship?
- If some individual person had accomplished all of that for your, how would you treat them?
- Is that the way that you treat God?
- True children of God
- Why do you think that Jesus came to save the whole world?
- Do you think that God is an extrovert and just needs lots of people around?
- Surely God must have known that there were going to be diversity of cultures, backgrounds, ... how does He expect us to welcome all of that?
- How can we be more welcoming this Sunday?
- Open the eyes of my heart Lord
- It seems that the risen Christ spent a good deal of time revealing Himself to his disciples on every level, tactile, visually, mentally, emotionally. How is God revealing God's self today?
- In your life, who are those that really stand out as revealing the glory of God?
- What makes them so good at that?
- What can we do to emulate them?
- Have I consistently brought life and peace to those around me this week?
- What are the things that distress/stress/worry me? Are they from God?
- What can I do to be the Love of God to the most difficult person in my life?
- How am I sharing my faith with those who need to hear that?
Hey, I was going to eat that!
Feeding the homeless isn't for type A personalities.
The donations come in all shapes and sizes,
No real schedule to them.
Then, there's the people that you are there to serve.
Getting them to E-mail you with an RSVP is just not going to happen,
So you just have to make your best guess how many places to set.
And yet, folks I've met who do this day in, day out
Radiate joy when they speak of their ministry
The love of Christ for these marginalized -
That love is sustained by being given away
Strengthened in the face of daily need
Flourishes by every touch of those in need.
Jesus Himself ate in the resurection.
Maybe we will too.
Maybe the need to serve each other will persist into Eternity.
Maybe abundance isn't so much about never wanting
As it is about never fearing to share.
The way I figure it, they weren't expecting Jesus to appear to them.
So I have to wonder who thought they were going to eat that fish He had.
