What is something that you have learned about yourself recently?
I am learning that I need predictable patterns in my life. I do much better with structure and predictability.
So, I really need to figure out how to create some more significant structure in my life.

Listen to the unabridged sermon here: Blind Spots
John 7–9
We’re taking a big swing this week — three chapters at once, John 7, 8, and 9. It’s a lot of ground, but these chapters actually hang together as one connected sermon of their own. John gives us a point, then an illustration. Another point, another illustration. Two claims from Jesus, two stories that show us what those claims mean in real life. And all of it happens against the backdrop of one specific moment: Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.

Finished reading: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros 📚
This was an entertaining, coming of age, story. Plus it has dragons… so that’s fun.
It was a bit more risqué than my usual read. Those scenes were easily skipped though…
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.“ - Jesus
The radical nature of this statement has been so thoroughly lost on those of us who claim to follow Jesus.
It doesn’t matter if we are conservative or progressive.
We tend to create reasons why we are allowed to do the opposite.

My first lift in 93 days. The loss in strength is disappointing. The real disappointment is in my lack of commitment to the plan.
Back at it.

Another hilarious and entertaining read! Looking forward to Libby sending along book 4 in a few months.
Listen to the unabridged sermon here: Do You Want What Jesus Gives or Do You Want Jesus?
Some Sundays in a series like this, we get to sit for a long time in just a handful of verses. This week isn’t one of those weeks. John 5 and 6 together run nearly a hundred verses, and rather than crawl through them line by line, we’re going to take a big swing and look at three signs together: a healing at a pool, a feeding on a hillside, and Jesus walking on water in a storm. Each one asks us a question, and by the end, those three questions collapse into one question that might be the most important one we ever answer.
