By Jerry January 12, 2021 January 13, 2021

Reflection on Mark 2:23-28 ~ In today’s scripture, Jesus allows us to see as God sees, putting us in the shoes of David, who knew the breadth and depth of God’s love, then straight into the hardened hearts of men. There can be no doubt that with our anointing as …

By Jerry January 11, 2021 January 11, 2021

Reflection on Mark 2:18-22 ~ I have my favorite pair of jeans, they are loose fitting, stained, visibly worn thin, and reserved for laborious chores. If I find myself alone with Jesus, I believe these jeans are sufficient, because all that truly matters are that my thoughts and mind are …

By Jerry January 10, 2021 January 10, 2021

Reflection on John 1:35-42 ~ Are you being transformed from one degree of faith to another gradually or perhaps the rarer suddenly?  Andrew and Peter followed John the Baptist because John knew the Messiah was coming.

By Jerry January 9, 2021 January 9, 2021

Reflection on Mark 1:40-45 ~ Aren’t we all a leper in some way? I have birth defects that make me feel less than a normal human. Despite these issues, I believe Jesus temporarily heals me when needed, because I meekly approached him. In the tradition of a leper being fully …

Mark 1:29-39 Reflection – Interrupting Jesus

By Jerry January 6, 2021 January 6, 2021

Reflection on Mark 1:29-39 ~ Can you imagine knowing Jesus personally and interrupting him while he is resting and praying? Yet, this is exactly what Jesus wants from us.  If this was not the case, Trinity would not be resident within our unique personal tabernacles. God is always available when …

Reflection on Mark 1:21-28 ~ Jesus’s responses to situations has countlessly let me bring then to top of mind when someone did something that bothered me, I was angry at myself for a mistake I made at work, or agitated for no apparent reason.  When I am strong in my …

By Jerry January 4, 2021 January 10, 2021

Reflection on Mark 1:14-20 ~ Although since youth I distinctly remember each of Jesus’s calls, it was only two decades ago that I have truly begun to understand. As a person of reason and logic, it is often difficult to believe, trust, and discern something that is spiritual reality. In …
