12th May 2024 (Year B – Easter 7) “A Fundamentalist About Grace”
If we want the world to see God’s love it has to be through Christians (His people), when they overtly act in love to their neighbors, with God’s help.

Mary goes to the tomb, the tomb is empty, a man appears, she hears her name, her heart explodes with joy!
She asks the smallest of mercies, but receives the greatest of gifts, an encounter with her friend, Messiah, Rabbi-nah!

14th April 2024 (Year B – Easter 3) “In the Midst!”
Troubled and full of doubts the disciples are hiding in a locked room.
Jesus appears and stands there. An example of “A life after life after death.”
Appearances of Jesus to his disciples shows the message of, ‘Faith and Hope and Doubt’ are in collision, which helps us to face our own confusion. The one who died stands “In the Midst” with a new offering.

When we recognize that the Resurrection is not ‘historical’ but an ever present reality that happens over and over, it is then that we can catch a glimpse what the meaning of this life really is – it is much bigger than any death!
