[Sunday] Kingdom Carol - Missio Dei
Jesus is sitting with Scrooge-like religious leaders when one talks about how great the feast in God’s kingdom will be. But will those scrupulous Scrooges even be there, or will God bring everyone else to the party from all the roads and the countryside?

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Kingdom Carol
Describe a time you felt excluded from a party or an invitation to something great. How did you feel?
Discuss the difference between an invitation of grace and a lightning bolt of judgment. How do you see those differences in Luke 14:1-24?
When are some times you might use excuses to miss out on Jesus’ grace? How does Jesus always come back to you and invite you to his party?

When Cain and Able Meet Again
We cannot forget that even scripture does not get the final word. Heaven does.
Read the whole article at When Cain and Abel Meet Again - Mockingbird (mbird.com)
SARAH CONDON / 7.17.23
This reflection originally appeared in today’s entry of Daily Grace: The Mockingbird Devotional, Vol. 2:
Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have produced a man with the help of the LORD.” Next she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground. In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell …
Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him. (Gen 4:1-5, 8)
It can be very tempting to read the Old and New Testaments like a before-and-after home makeover: No one understood the space before the designers came in! What’s with the old carpets and wallpaper? Was this even a real house?………………………………………

[Sunday] Plans - Missio Dei
Jesus sends his disciples to bring the mission of God to the Children of Israel. But how Jesus sends them out is so much different than our planned expectations.
Jesus sends his disciples to bring the mission of God to the Children of Israel. But how Jesus sends them out is so much different than our planned expectations.
QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Plans
Read Mark 6:1-13. Jesus experiences opposition and then sends his disciples out in His mission. What does that mission look like for the disciples? What are they to bring? What are they to do in opposition? What is the goal of their ministry?
How important is it for us to recognize that the mission of God is not our mission? What false leanings do we succumb to if we believe the mission belongs to us?
Do you think the great commission is called great because it is so wonderful? Or because it is so huge? Talk about both. Why is the act of us being sent so wonderful? Why is the mission so huge?

[Sunday] Born & Light - Missio Dei
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned. But how is this light dawned by being born again?

[Sunday] David A Christmas Story - Rise & Fall
The story of David follows those patterns of the kingdom of God. From Hannah’s pattern of humbleness to Eli’s pattern of pride leading to a fall. But David's fall at the end of Samuel cries out into the future giving us eyes to see the pattern again in the true and better David.
