The Power of Faith

 Luke 9:37-43

Jesus had left a group of disciples behind when He and a select few went up the mountain.  The left behind group were presented with a challenge; a demon possessed, or maybe in our day in age epileptic boy.  They tried to get rid of the evil spirits but they couldn't...Jesus explains, it was because of lack of faith...maybe the Father's lack of faith in them, or maybe the disciple's I'm not sure.  In Canada we live in a culture that needs to grow in faith.  Maybe the coronavirus is giving us an opportunity to slow down and grow our faith.  Lord Jesus, please help us to not be the reason why someone else doesn't see a miracle.  Grow our faith in Your gentle way so that Your Kingdom may come in our lives and in the lives of those around us.  Thanks.

Our neighbour

  Luke 10:29-37 During this year of covid we've been forced to slow down.  I'm wondering if it's helping us to see our neighbours in need.  Lord Jesus, please help us not to be so busy going about Your work we miss seeing our neighbours in need.

Herod

  Luke 23:8-12 This passage says a lot about Herod.  First of all he wanted to see Jesus because he had heard about Him.  Herod was hoping Jesus would perform a miracle for him but Jesus wasn't going to be played.  Jesus didn't answer Herod's questions and His accusers seemed to be heard by Herod so Herod started to mock Jesus but Herod didn't find anything wrong with him.  Herod sent Him back to Pilate,,,and what is interesting is Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Lord Jesus, when satan sends the mockers help us to be wise and know when to speak and when not to speak.  Give us the courage to stand for what is right, in Your time and way. Amen.

Fringe folk

  Luke 9:49-50 Have you ever noticed some non-church goers are amazing people, doing amazing things?  Jesus says, if they're not against us they're for us.  Lord Jesus, help us not to discourage people who are on the fringes of the church.  Help us see how they are helping in Your Kingdom and celebrate their goodness.
