Via, Veritas, Vita

Breaking the Rules (Matthew 5.20-26)

In today’s Gospel, Jesus cautions his disciples against underestimating how important the rules are. (Matthew 5.20-26)

This is going to hurt (Mark 8.34-9.1)

The way of discipleship might be embarrassing, but perhaps the greater embarrassment is to deny we need help. (Mark 8.34-9.1)

Paranoia (Mark 6.14-29)

Unhealthy suspicion grips us all at some point, and gaining perspective can be difficult. (Mark 6.14-29)

Who the heck was Thaddaeus? (Mark 3.13-19)

Hearing the list of the apostles’ names read out today might give us pause for thought. Today’s Gospel is useful in reminding us that there are more stories to be told. (Mark 3.13-19)

What do you do with a hole in your roof? (Mark 2.1-12)

The untidiness of miracles: The miracle in today’s Gospel left a hole, and somebody was going to have to fill it. (Mark 2.1-12)
