Matthew 18:21-35 (Genesis 50:15-21, Psalm 103:[1-7] 8-13, Romans 14:1-12)

I warn you; you’ll likely not find the following joke as funny as I do.  As my wife frequently points out, that’s true of most – if not all – of my jokes....

Matthew 16:13-20 (Isaiah 51:1-6, Psalm 138, Romans 12:1-8)

What’s not to love about today’s text? Peter experiences the highs and lows of his faith life in ways that we can surely relate to. One minute he’s making an awesome confession of faith – the first time in Matthew’s Gospel in which a disciple has recognized and proclaimed Jesus…...

Matthew 15:[10-20] 21-28 (Isaiah 56:1, 6-8, Psalm 67, Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32)

I do not know about you, but I always wince when I read the following words of Jesus: “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs” (vs 26). He is speaking to the Canaanite woman who has asked him to heal her demon-possessed…...

Matthew 14:22-33 (1 Kings 19:9-18, Psalm 85:8-13, Romans 10:5-15)

You have no doubt heard me say, many times, that Peter is my patron saint – along with Óscar Romero. The latter because of his profound example, and the former because he is a wee bit of a mess, just like me. Peter is always in trouble; always messing up;…...

Matthew 14:13-21 (Isaiah 55:1-5, Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21, Romans 9:1-5)

Whenever I go to the cinema to watch a movie, I’m once again surprised by how different the experience is compared with watching at home: it is immersive. Gone are the distractions of traffic in the street, a dog barking at passersby, cellphone notifications to check, and so forth. In…...

Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52 (1 Kings 3:5-12, Psalm 119:129-136, Romans 8:26-39)

Here comes a bunch of parables, flowing so thick and fast that it feels like drinking from a firehose! Mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure, fine pearls, a fish net. Each parable describing the Kingdom of Heaven. So many that one may struggle to get the gist of Jesus’ teaching. Breaking…...

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (Isaiah 44:6-8, Psalm 86:11-17, Romans 8:12-25)

The old joke is told of the Scottish pastor who, in the throes of a Bible-thumping, barn-storming sermon, declares, “They will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing…...

Matthew 10:40-42 (Jeremiah 28:5-9, Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18, Romans 6:12-23)

Whenever I have a sense that my verbosity is not being helpful, or that a particularly complex turn of phrase of mine obscures more than it reveals, I find comfort in texts such as Matthew 10:40-42....

Matthew 10:24-39 (Jeremiah 20:7-13, Psalm 69:7-10 [11-15] 16-18, Romans 6:1b-11)

Often, we encounter Scripture with an erroneous mindset; believing that the biblical world was a clean slate, an idyllic environment, a golden age, into which warnings of things to come came from God. In other words, that God was preparing believers for a emotional tsunami that was to come....

Matthew 9:35—10:8 [9-23] (Exodus 19:2-8a, Psalm 100, Romans 5:1-8)

On the surface, this is a text that names the Twelve – the core group of disciples or apostles - and outlines their first mission. And that it does. But look a wee bit more closely, and there’s much in this text that speaks to us today. In verses 35-38,…...
