JONAH

The book of Jonah is a bold check against our sinful tendency to live under the Pharisaical proverb, “love your neighbor and hate your enemies.”  We like Jonah can be stingy with the message of salvation and God’s mercy, especially towards those who have hurt us.  The ministry of Jesus, however, stands in bold contrast […]



Gaining Christ, Losing the World

On this Gospel Focus Sunday, we hear a word from Paul encouraging us see Jesus as our ultimate prize and pattern our lives after his example, embracing suffering and death with the hope that in dying to ourselves and taking up our cross we will share in his resurrection and everlasting life.
