Text: Mark 9:38-50

Excerpt: “When I read the text from the Gospel of Mark, I am reminded that sometimes, Christians don’t quite get the power of Jesus’ message. Some time ago, I was talking with a young person, who was a very devout Christian. I can’t remember the exact content of our conversation, but I remember saying that Roman Catholics were Christians. The young man was completely surprised at my statement. I proceeded to explain that Roman Catholics, like the rest of Christianity uphold the basic beliefs of the faith, namely Jesus’ ministry and resurrection.

Text: Matthew 13:44-46

Excerpt: “For the past nine weeks, we have been taking a close look at some of the parables of Jesus, especially those that address the kingdom or realm of God.

These parables describe, not another place where we will go after we die. No. They describe what the world would be like if we were to follow God’s ideas of justice, peace and love. In other words, Jesus describes God’s kingdom as something we can experience here and now….”
