  • Here's Spit In Your Eye

    Here's Spit In Your Eye
    Jun 18 2024
    This homily is guided not by the fact this Sunday is Father’s Day, but by the choice of Rev. Lanford to offer the Service of Healing within the worship time on more time before he retires on June 30th. Thus, he explores the halting healing of Mark 8:22-36 within its narrative context, as well as briefly touching on why Jesus used saliva as something to put on a man’s eye. The key Scripture is Mark 8, but listeners will also hear the healing in Mark 2:1ff., and Acts 3:1-10 at the Beautiful Gate at the Temple.

  • Purposes Begun, Purposes Fulfilling

    Purposes Begun, Purposes Fulfilling
    Jun 10 2024
    This homily is inspired in part by the fact that we are celebrating an infant baptism in between the Scriptures and the homily, and by the readings. Those are Psalm 138, Mark 4:30-34, and Philippians 1:3-11. There is a theme within them of God’s purposes and them being fulfilled (by God). Yet do we not also have a role in them being fulfilled, as in by cooperating with God? And what neat thing can the mustard seed parable tell us about God’s purposes and our lives?

  • Nevertheless: Jesus

    Nevertheless: Jesus
    Jun 3 2024
    Jesus faced a lot of opposition from the Jewish religious establishment in Jerusalem, and here they clash verbally over Sabbath law interpretations in the field, and Jesus tries to take them to school over the same subject while preparing to heal a man’s withered hand in a synagogue. That was also on a Sabbath, perhaps the same day as in the field! Rev. Lanford lifts up at the end how the opposition faced by Jesus has a parallel in our discipleship through the world making it hard to be a person devoted to agape love, forgiveness, justice and compassion. The Spirit in Jesus taking on the Pharisees lives on in His followers facing hardship, thanks to God. Listen in! Please hit subscribe if you like what you've heard!!
