פרקים
Lame Excuses - Rev. David Pileggi
In this short story Jesus illustrates the rule of heaven and highlights God’s compassion for those who are being destroyed by sin and Satan. But if we hear his voice, we are warned of the consequences of hardening our heart.
Broken Images - Rev. David Pileggi
The Pharisees seek to test Jesus with a trick question, and in a brilliant response Jesus exposes their insincerity and reminds us why his teaching will be observed to the end of the age.
The Righteousness of God - Idan Pinhas
As we reach the end of the Feast of Sukkot, often associated with the return of Jesus, our readings in Isaiah 5, Psalm 80, and Matthew 21 use the vineyard as an image of God’s kingdom and His people. Isaiah reveals that God sought justice and righteousness but found injustice, while Psalm 80 asks why the vineyard has been destroyed, echoing the warnings Israel failed to heed. In Matthew 21, Jesus
The Divine in the Doing - Rev. David Pileggi
As Christians, we often look to the biblical feasts to discover whether Jesus has fulfilled it, or we’re still waiting. But the Festivals of the Lord (especially Succot) have much more to teach us and this guidance is especially important for us today in our age of overwhelming anxiety and fear.
God, It Just Isn't Fair! - Rev. David Pileggi
It is appropriate that in today’s readings, Jesus’ parable of the Workers in the Vineyard falls on the eve of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This story raises some questions about God’s generosity and how it can lead to disappointment and resentment, embittering our relationship with God and others. Understanding this parable in its Jewish context can help us better understand how God is at wo
The Unforgiving Servant and Those Little Sins - Rev. David Pileggi
Jesus is urgent. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! But we tend to think that because we’re not bank robbers or adulterers we’re OK. But today, as we approach the holiday of The Feast of Trumpets, let the blast of the shofar wake us up to Jesus’ urgent call.
Beam Me Up, Scotty - Rev. David Pileggi
Often in Christian teaching we focus on how to get to heaven – and until then, how we can dwell in ‘heavenly places.' But the overwhelming biblical focus is that God wants to come down! Jesus teaches us practical ways that we can live in His presence now.
God's Timing in Deliverance - Pastor Matthew Finch
When Moses was 40 years old he had all of the right criteria to be used as God's instrument for deliverance. He was articulate, well educated, and zealous. However, God's timing is not our timing. By the time Moses was commissioned, he was emptied of almost everything he once was.
God will indeed deliver His people out of bondage. Nonetheless, He shares His glory with no man.
Two Midwives and The Son of the Living God - Rev. David Pileggi
In our lectionary today, we read about two midwives who refused to obey the Pharaoh’s death decree. How did they know to fear the living God more than a powerful tyrant who could bring them death? They are role models for us today and can teach us important lessons about being disciples of the Prince of Life in a culture of death.
There's Enough Bread to Go Around - Phil Morrow
Genesis 45 sees Joseph reveal himself to his brothers, declare his good fortune in Egypt, and promise to care for them during the following 5 years of famine. Psalm 67, sung daily between Pesach and Shavuot, prompts all the nations to praise the God of Israel for making the land yield its produce. This principle—of God blessing many people through His saving work among Israel—is invoked when Jesus
The Tragedy of John the Baptist (Is it ours too?) - Rev. David Pileggi
John the Baptist proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. “Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” But later, he began to doubt and sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the One who is to come?” Under great duress in prison and imprisoned by his own eschatological interpretation, John was unable to see the expanding Kingdom of Heaven as proclaimed by Jesus. Like John, we
A Family Story: Mercy Received, Mercy Given - Rev. David Pileggi
Jacob’s struggle with a mysterious figure was life-transforming and he walked away with a limp and a legitimate blessing gained without deceit. The encounter enabled him to courageously, yet humbly face his brother Esau and bring healing to a broken relationship. In that context we examine Paul’s understanding of the Jewish-Christian relationship found in Romans 11. That healing is facilitated wh
For the Birds - Rev. John Arnold
God is already the Almighty King. But what does His kingdom look like on this oft rebellious earth? Drawing on the imagery of Ezekiel, Jesus reveals a kingdom that begins in humility, transforms the world, is worth more than every earthly treasure, and will one day bring both salvation and judgment
The Long Patience of God - Rev. John Arnold
The kingdom of heaven isn't just some future paradise. God already reigns, but there are many who oppose Him. Why doesn't He subjugate everything to His will now? He is patient beyond our own understanding.
Good Soil Gives Plentiful Harvest - Rev. Pavel Hollmann
Soil can turn good or bad, based on the care it is given, and so it is with our hearts. A good beginning does not necessarily means a good outcome. We can turn bad soil into a richly producing one with good care, time and God’s blessing. But that is only a start. There are other soils - hearts that are producing, and in the end, God’s plan is for the multitudes as we can see in nature. In our ende
His Humbleness Carries the Burdens - Rev. Pavel Hollmann
In his only self-descriptive phrase Jesus gives us a key to his ability to carry the burdens given by his Father. His yoke is easy only as and when we humbly accept our lot in life. Yes, under God’s caring hand, but nevertheless, a life full of challenges, and trials, not of our choice. Will we accept them willingly, as Jesus did?
Kierkegaard, Dylan, and the Kotzker Rebbe - Rev. David Pileggi
Is it wrong to expect divine recompense for obedience? Over the centuries many have been perplexed by the binding/sacrifice of Isaac. No matter how this event is understood, it is clear that there is reward for Abraham’s obedience.
We tend to think that rewards are given in return for great acts of faith, but Jesus teaches something essential about God’s economy: even the smallest act of hospit
The Fear that Sabotages - Rev. David Pileggi
In our readings today the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar, along with that of Jesus calling his disciples, give us much to ponder. Because of that nagging (and all too natural) anxiety of committing our lives to God, we too, often circumvent His best for us. Although fear and the deceit of self-preservation can overwhelm us, God has provided a way to enable us to live faithfully.
Subject to the King: Servants, Shepherds, and Sheep - Rev. John Arnold
God is a king who expects His subjects to have compassion and care for those who are sick and those who are wandering. In our hubris, we often do not completely subject ourselves before the almighty Lord and King. We may even think that the servant is above the master. God acts even when we don’t, caring for His sheep as well as bringing judgment on those who condemn and exploit those who are wand
The Healing We All Need - Rev. David Pileggi
The Lord has torn us, but after three days he will heal us", so declare the people of Israel in the book of Hosea. This hope is a good beginning for looking at the healing ministry of Jesus and the overlapping realities of impurity, repentance, and the rewards of a persistent faith.
Fear and Pride Come Calling (Again) - Rev. David Pileggi
Since the rebellion in the Garden, the human family has been afflicted by the sins of fear and pride. In rejecting what it means to be created in God’s image, we enter the AI age with fears of uncertainty and mortality, and along with the desire to be like gods we find ourselves on a dangerous precipice. We must respond by rejecting the false promises of technology and its dehumanization. The maj
Free Refills? - Rev. David Pileggi
While the Spirit of God is given freely to all who come to faith, being regularly filled with His Spirit is another matter. Like water that always flows to the lowest place, the Holy Spirit keeps a home in those who live humbly, practice forgiveness, and strive for unity with their brothers and sisters. In today’s readings we see in the life of Moses (and more) the extraordinary power that these
Love and Intimacy / Then and Now - Rev. David Pileggi
The command to love God with a whole heart raises some questions: How can love be commanded? Can love be without emotion? When we understand this love as more than a theological concept, how is it expressed? Not surprisingly, in the Scriptures we find a common thread of thought and practice stretching from Deuteronomy to the Gospel of John and beyond: Love motivates obedience, leading to intim
A Table in the Wilderness - Rev. David Pileggi
The shepherd imagery of Psalm 23 is well known and loved by many. What is not so well known is that this psalm is set in the barren Judean wilderness, not on the lush, green hills usually imagined. Yet God is able to provide abundantly despite scarcity and danger. And like this psalm, Isaiah 25 assures us that one day God will rescue and provide a feast for all peoples to celebrate His victory
Trust in God - Pastor Matthew Finch
We often find ourselves trusting in our own strength and zeal to live for God, only to end up unsuccessful. However, it is a trustworthy statement that when man fails, God does not.
How do we become overcomers? How do we live completely sold out for Jesus? Living for God—and in some cases, dying for Him—comes through the promise of the power of the Holy Spirit.
That Sense of Wonder - Rev. David Pileggi
Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we also can be confused and disappointed in how God is working through the death and resurrection of Jesus. But we can learn from the questions asked by the people on the day of Pentecost: What does this mean? What should we do? And we can rediscover that sense of wonder experienced by the disciples when meeting the risen Lord.
Come and See - Rev. David Pileggi
In some churches the second Sunday of the Easter season is known as Divine Mercy Sunday. When reading John’s account of Jesus' appearance with His disciples we see His divine mercy take concrete form. Like the disciples, we are invited to meet the Risen Jesus with all of our senses. And like them, it is in repentance and trust in Him that we can respond with joy in a world full of fear and doub
In The End Is The Beginning - Rev. David Pileggi
To better appreciate the unique way that Matthew tells of Jesus’ resurrection, we need to remember the themes in his narrative of Jesus’ birth – fear, _im-anu-el,_ intrigue, worship, deception and death, all of which come to prominence in Matthew’s account of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. The worship of _Im-anu-el_ allows us to move beyond fear and weakness to having the joy and courage to
Redemption for Jerusalem - Rev. David Pileggi
After weeping over the city He loves, Jesus enters Jerusalem and cleanses the Temple. All four gospels record this event, but only Matthew recalls that the lame and blind come to Him and are healed. In highlighting God's love for the ignored and neglected, Matthew reveals the essential nature of Jesus' identity and the redemption He offers, not only to Jerusalem but to all who come to Him today.
Meditations on a Bay Leaf - Rev. David Pileggi
The scriptures appointed for this week, and a close encounter with mortality prompted this sermon's reflection on death. The fear of death is the work of the devil and its denial and trivialization are symptoms of our inability to come to terms with our mortality. The pairing of Psalm 130 with the raising of Lazarus in John's gospel reveals the patch to liberation from such fears and distortions.
Bono, The Blind, and the Work of Creation - Rev. David Pileggi
The rich symbolism and connection to the Hebrew Bible in the story of Jesus' encounter with a blind man (John 9) gives us deeper insight into God's grace and our calling to be a light in the world.
To Do God's Will - Rev. John Arnold
Jesus went where the Holy Spirit led and did the will of God - evenwhen it was difficult. But what of His disciples? Did they go out into every town and preach the Kingdom of God or did they only do so when they felt they had been specifically told to do so?
The Keeper of Israel - Rev. John Arnold
When enemies surround, do we look at them or do we look to the one who made them?
Tools to Overcome - Rev. Pavel Hollmann
Summery: The faithfulness and obedience of Jesus, as the second Adam, is in striking contrast to the action of the first Adam. Jesus based his life here fully on the God’s words, thus securing victory for all of us. He made us righteous but also gave us tools how to overcome temptations and carry on that victorious lives with prayer and fasting.
Where God Speaks - Rev. John Arnold
On the Mount of Transfiguration, God declared, "This is my beloved son." This was not the first time God declared this, He also declared it at Jesus' baptism. But even before that, Peter writes that God spoke these words through David almost a thousand years earlier in Psalm 2.
Peter, who physically heard God repeat what He had spoken so long ago writes: "For no prophecy was ever produced by the
You Are The Light - Rev John Arnold
God’s light shines in the darkness, opening the eyes of the blinds and releasing the prisoner. He gathers sons and daughters to Himself. But He then calls us be a light in the darkness. What a responsibility… and what a great privilege.
The Presentation - Rev. Gerald McDermott
Many Christians traditionally celebrate the presentation of Jesus in the Temple, forty days after Christmas. In Luke’s gospel, we are told five times that Joseph and Mary acted in accordance with the law of the Lord. In an age of increasing anti-Semitism and the rush to deny the Jewishness of Jesus, this passage serves as a powerful reminder of the Jewish identity and mission of the Messiah and t
In Lands of Deep Darkness - Rev. David Pileggi
Ancient Israel was thrown into despair and hopelessness in 722 BC when Assyria conquered much of its land in the north (Zebulun and Naphtali). Yet the prophet Isaiah could foresee a time when gloom would turn to joy because “a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, and of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.” In many societies today we find ourselves
The Lamb of God and Disordered Desires - Rev. David Pileggi
In the first chapter of John we encounter three questions: Who is Jesus? What do you want? Where are you staying? These questions are just as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago, challenging us to set our desires in order and to abide with Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Fulfilling All Righteousness | Rev. David Pileggi
Jesus’ baptism by John in the Jordan River is commonly thought to be the same rite that is practiced by Christians today. But there are significant differences and much for Christians today to consider carefully in that account – especially John’s call to repentance, hearing the voice of God, and the need to "fulfill all righteousness.” When understood in the context of Matthew’s Gospel, this ph
A Journey of Revelation on an Ancient Highway |Michael N.
The Season of Epiphany or of the Revelation of the Messiah begins with the Journey of the Magi, priests of the Zoroastrian faith from the Medo-Persian empire, who set out on a journey to find the promised Messiah, the King of the Jews. In this message Michael N. takes us on a journey through history, geography and the prophets, to a promised prophetic highway that will be a blessing on the Earth (
Paranoia Strikes Deep - Rev. David Pileggi
This line from a popular Buffalo Springfield song sums up well the life of King Herod the Great. His insecurity and fear drove him to rule with a cruel hand, killing members of his own family and slaughtering the innocents in Bethlehem. This is not just First Century history; it is also a tale of our times. The worrisome rise of uncertainty and paranoia is causing many to look for scapegoats (anti
Right place, right people, and a real baby - Rev. Tom Burden
In this Christmas Day message, Rev. Tom Burden, Director of CMJ Israel, talks about Luke 2:1-20 and how God reached down into the real world to live for us.
Questions and Confusion of the Faithful - Rev. John Arnold
John the Baptist grew up hearing the promises of the Messiah foretold through the prophets. He also would have heard of his own miraculous birth—and that of Jesus. The prophecies regarding John were not all ancient, his parents knew prophecies and prophesied. John was also a prophet who bore witness to the Messiah and prepared the way for Him in the wilderness. But in a time of trial, faithful Joh
3rd Sunday in Advent - Rev. David Pileggi
The season of Advent calls us to repentance, humility, and spiritual readiness and directs us to align our lives with God’s purposes even in these times of uncertainty and conflict. Biblical hope enables us to trust and remain faithful while looking forward to the fulfilment of God’s redemptive work in Jesus the Messiah.
Preparing for the Unpredictable - Rev. David Pileggi
Jesus teaches us to watch and prepare for His return. Yet that teaching is relevant for more than just the Last Days. It prepares us for the unexpected and helps us remain faithful in the face of disappointment, misfortune, or disaster. And it enables us not to miss the day of God's visitation.
How to Persevere in Good Times and Bad - Archbishop Foley Beach
Archbishop Foley Beach’s sermon “How to Persevere in Good Times and Bad” encourages believers to stay faithful and grounded in Christ no matter their circumstances. He teaches that perseverance is not based on whether life is easy or difficult, but on trusting God’s unchanging character, maintaining spiritual discipline, and guarding against both complacency in good times and despair in hard times
The End is Not the End - Rev. David Pileggi
When reading prophetic passages we often overlook that they have something to teach us today. Paul, when warning the Thessalonians not to be deceived about the Lord’s coming, highlights the need to love the truth and adhere to the tradition that he handed down to the church. This will also help us to stand firm in difficult times and enable us to resist the deception and lawlessness and in our mid
Out of Context - Rev. David Pileggi
The first chapter of Ephesians is one of the most beautiful passages in the New Testament and has inspired uncountable sermons and commentaries. But if we overlook its Jewish context, we miss the full riches of what Paul is teaching about our identity in the Messiah of Israel.
A Tale for Our Time - Rev. David Pileggi
The parable of the Tax Collector and the Pharisee may not be as simple and straightforward as it appears. One Jewish theologian has suggested that Jesus set a trap for his listeners in order to expose the ever present self-righteousness and hypocrisy of the human heart. But we just don't hear how shocking this story is unless we understand its social and historical context
Constant Faithfulness and Lost Hope - Rev. John Arnold
Luke 18:1-8 presents a parable, alternately named the parable of the Unjust Judge and the Persistent Widow. Jesus deliberately parodies the reality of God as a faithful judge. While we might doubt earthly authority, God has always been faithful and remains faithful. Nonetheless, we often lose hope. We look at the world and don’t see justice, righteousness, or faithfulness or we forget that God is
Coming Back to the Heart of Worship - Rev. David Pileggi
After Jesus healed the ten lepers only one came back to express his gratitude. This story in Luke’s gospel teaches us that our worship cannot be separated from gratitude for what God has done for us. His instructions for celebrating during Succot highlight the ways we should rejoice and also avoid the pitfalls that keep us from expressing heartfelt thankfulness.
Faith or Faithfulness? | Rev. David Pileggi
When the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith, what are they requesting? A related passage in Habbakuk reads, “The just shall live by his faith (Heb.emunah). This word has a cluster of meanings: trust, belief, persistence, fidelity or faithfulness. By examining the times in which Habbakuk lived (not much different from ours) we can come to a better understanding of what it means for us to
A Call to Arms - Rev. David Pileggi_1
The Feast of Michael and All Angels draws our attention to the nature of spiritual warfare and the battle that intensified with satan’s rage at Jesus’ enthronement. This Feast Day highlights an aspect of the gospel which is more than receiving our great salvation by faith. It gives us our marching orders as agents of King Jesus, calling us to advance His influence and authority over the enemy. A
Confident, Comfortable, Complacent and a Blast of a Shofar | Rev. David Pileggi_1
The story of Abraham, especially the binding of Isaac, has become closely associated with the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah. Abraham was promised great blessing, yet his life was full of challenges and hardships from start to finish. At the beginning, God asked him to give up his past and go to a foreign land … somewhere. Even towards the end of his life the testing wasn’t over. Abraham was as
A Costly Power - Rev. David Pileggi
As we approach the season of repentance and intercession in the biblical/Jewish calendar, we turn our focus to mercy and justice and to God who is both. In the discourse on Mt. Sinai, Moses did not relent from interceding before God for a sinful people revealing some essential truths about the cost and the power of intercession.
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses - Rev. David Pileggi
We often find ourselves in messy entanglements in our families, work, and more, that seem to be beyond our control. These situations often confuse and immobilize us from living the way that God desires. Today’s readings (highlighting Moses, Jesus, and Paul) shed light on how we can live faithfully in the midst of life’s complications.
Leaky Cisterns or Living Water? - Rev. David Pileggi
In our readings today, the message of Jeremiah could not be more timely. Too often we ignore His refreshing, flowing water and build our own leaky cisterns. So in repentance we are called to reject these forms of idolatry (anything we treasure and depend upon more than Him) and return to a joyful relationship with our Father, our Sustainer. Let us pray that He will bring to light those things, ev
Shabbat: Then, Now, & Beyond | Rev. David Pileggi_1
When we read about Jesus confronting a rural, unlearned synagogue official over Sabbath observance we can easily misunderstand Jesus’ teaching about the 7th day of the week and also His teaching on the Torah in general. This incident raises questions on how we Christians should approach the Sabbath. Does it have more value for us than simply a day of rest? Our communities can gain invaluable ins
Warning of Judgement, Strive for Peace - Rev. John Arnold
Jesus warns us that judgment will come. We cannot expect peace when we continue to run from God's peace. Declaring that we have peace where there is none will never bring us closer to peace. But in the warning of judgment, there is hope for peace.
Mister, Just Relax! - Rev. David Pileggi
Jesus commands us, “Do not be afraid!” and He gives the very best reason – the Father has given us the Kingdom. This reality enables us to deal with our fears that grow out of past experiences and a worry that God or others are keeping something good from us. Yet the teaching of Jesus is not a naive irresponsibility but a transformation of these fears. Using examples from the lives of Jewish sc
Cry - Rev.David Pileggi
The latest round of wars in the Middle East (Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemin and Syria) has produced international outrage and has led to a dangerous rise in anti-Semitism around the world. Many in the Church are largely indifferent, while in other parts of the Christian community a huge amount of energy is being expended either criticizing or supporting Israel. Yet one thing seems to be lacking. Ther
Persistent Prayer - Rev. John Arnold
The God of Abraham rules over all things, and yet He tells us to pray. Why? If everything is just fate or happenstance that would be a good question.
Land, Inheritance, and Hospitality - Rev. John Arnold
In a time when people often live into their seventies rather than die from banditry, dysentery, or heatstroke we have lost the meaning of hospitality. Hospitality can be the difference between life and death.
We know that God gives all good things and preserves our lives. And we know that we are called to follow His example. Today we look at both our inheritance of God and the examples we have o
Go, Do Thou Likewise - Rev. John Arnold
Jesus calls us to love God and love our neighbors. In the story of the good Samaritan, Jesus shows who we are called to love as our neighbor. He also shows us what that love should look like---self sacrificial and full of compassion.
But none of that matters if we don't actually practice the love of God. This is why Jesus said, "Go, thou, and do likewise."
Traveling Light - Rev. David Pileggi
Jesus sent out seventy-two disciples to heal and demonstrate the Kingdom of God. Like those followers who rejoiced at overcoming the demonic, we too may have misguided priorities and a limited understanding of the Kingdom. Along with the name of Jesus, they overcame evil through obedience, humility and a dependence on the hospitality of others. These values not only allow God to rule in our liv
The Thrill of It | Rev. David Pileggi
We are easily anesthetized by the routine and mundane. When disaster strikes in the form of war, earthquakes, civil unrest, etc., we take ourselves off autopilot and come alive, and we often (and secretly) find life more meaningful for a while. Something similar can happen with Bible prophecy. The recent events in the Middle East has excited some in an unhealthy way. Yet as Jesus made his way to
Remain Faithful - Rev. John Arnold
Sometimes life is amazing; And sometimes we must take up our cross and follow Jesus. Our Lectionary brings us the story of men who chose to turn to God even when their neighbours didn’t listen, even when the people around them persecuted them and oppressed them, even when turning to God meant a long, difficult journey that would result in more pain and suffering. But they still walked after God.
Perfect in Power, in Love, and Purity | Rev. John Arnold_1
The Trinity is one of the hardest doctrines to define and understand. What is not hard to understand is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in unity and they share a love for one another from eternity.
Jesus doesn’t ask us to be able to define the Trinity, although it’s important to know that He is God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But He does ask us to love one another. He does
Not an 'it' - Rev. David Pileggi
We are now in the Pentecost season and we’re celebrating the very Person who creates, sustains, and renews all of life. Sadly, many of us think of the Holy Spirit as an abstract power largely there for our blessing or equipping. But more than just being the source of gifts, it is through that Spirit that we are given the indwelling Presence of divine (eternal) life that we share with the Father
The Glory of it All | Rev. David Pileggi_1
The festival of Shavuot (Pentecost, lit. weeks) celebrates one of the most glorious events in Scripture – God’s revelation at Sinai. Once we grasp that glory is the tangible manifestation of God’s presence and goodness, we gain a deeper understanding of Jesus’ teachings in John’s gospel, where he promises to share His glory with us. This is not a mystical experience that falls out of the sky but
Town and Country | Rev. David Pileggi
There is an unceasing human longing to return to Eden, and in virtually every generation since our expulsion we have hoped to regain a paradise lost. Yet our ultimate destination is not a garden, but a city – the New Jerusalem. The imagery of this place where God will finally dwell with his people is of a garden-city, dazzling with precious jewels, healing trees, and a crystal clear river flowing
What's So New about the New Commandment | Rev. David Pileggi
Secular historian Tom Holland has shown how the Christian revolution and its concept of sacrificial love has changed our world – so much so that we tend to take it for granted. Yet while love remains central to our lives and culture, it is often misunderstood and distorted. Jesus commands his friends to love one another as he loved them, and in John's gospel we see how it's practical and concrete
Do You Love Me? - Marcel Rebiai
Love for Jesus as a prerequisite for a life of peace and serenity and as the basis for service in the kingdom of God that is acceptable to God.
Villain to Apostle; Betrayer to Shepherd | Rev. John Arnold
Peter and Paul stand as shocking examples of grace—one denied Christ, the other persecuted Him. Yet Jesus comes to both not with condemnation, but with a call: “Follow me.” Peter is restored with a meal and a mission: “Feed my sheep.” Saul, struck blind, is given new sight and sent to proclaim the very name he tried to destroy.
Their stories remind us: God doesn't call the worthy—He calls the wil
For the Sake of the World | Rev. David Pileggi
Peter’s sermon at Caesarea proclaimed the reality of the Resurrection that should shape culture, politics and everyday life. That message is just as relevant for us today as we face many of the same issues. We have a high calling to live in the light and power of the Resurrection and carry the Good News of God to the world.

Tears of a Prophet | Rev. David Pileggi
Luke is the only Gospel that reports Jesus weeping over Jerusalem upon his triumphal entry. In that account, Jesus warns that the city he loves is rushing towards a self-inflicted disaster. Often we assume Jerusalem was judged because of Jesus’ crucifixion. But Jesus explains that Jerusalem not only failed to recognize the “time of God’s visitation”, but also did not know what made for peace – p
Meeting the Holy | Rev. Yoel Ben David_1
Joshua meets a person outside the walls of Jericho. This person has him remove sandals and bow. In this message we look at who this is and why his holiness changes us.
