Psalm: 119:49-72 Meditation: GenThe irony and cruelty in the stories of this family are truly amazing. Jacob had killed and shed the blood of a goat to deceive his father. Jacob also had been tricked by the blood of a goat on Joseph’s coat. God uses the greed and Jealousy of the brothers to keep …

Psalm: 69:1-23 Meditation: JohnHow would it feel to be a leader and not have your own family believe in you? Some wanted Jesus to go about His ministry in a more assertive way. We do know that at least 2 brothers would believe later. Here Jesus was on God’s schedule while others  pushed their own …

Psalm: 70 Meditation: EzraHow important is your family’s history or your genealogy? Ezra’s genealogy is shown here to trace back to Aaron, the first high priest, over a thousand years before. This important information justified his role as priest and scribe of the Law of Moses. He and the others that would be involved in …

Psalm: 72 Meditation: 2 SamuelRevenge, family, and politics are at the heart of this story. Joab, David’s chief subordinate, murdered Abner who had killed (not murdered) Joab’s brother after Abner made peace and submitted. To prevent Abner from eclipsing his position was never known. David’s relationship to Joab, and maybe his need for him, kept …

Psalm: 56, 57 Meditation: MarkLike many plays and shows today, this passage is written backward chronologically. It is also confusing because this Herod is not the same king or ruler of the same territory as his father (the Herod of the Nativity and Jesus’s childhood). This and later stories show the family traits of lust, …

St. Valentine's Day Psalm 66, 67 Meditation: Mark – What makes a person rich? Their financial or social standing? There’s the traditional sappy movie proclamation that family and love is truly what makes us rich. Many people spend their whole lives chasing riches of one kind or another. Yet, Jesus says that being rich makes …

Craft Ideas Read Mark 1:21-34 The reading has a lot of different broken people. What do we do with broken things? Have you ever had something that broke? What happened? Usually, if it is inexpensive we throw it away - if worth a lot we try to fix it. Right? Do we see Jesus throwing people away or fixing them? How …

Psalm 61, 62 Meditation: John – These were the people of Galilee where Jesus grew up with his family. They knew him. They knew his siblings and parents. They went to the Temple together and celebrated the feasts together and suddenly Jesus was telling them that he is the Bread of Life and from heaven. …

Psalm 14 Meditation: Hebrews – This passage is deceptively powerful. It says that Jesus is unashamed to calls us brothers and sisters. Think about that for a moment. Th Savior of the world loves us as family. He loves us enough to suffer through every temptation and every pain so that he can help us …

Psalm: 46 Meditation: John – Being ill or disabled is hard enough in our present time but when Jesus’s sandaled feet were on solid ground, it was even harder. People were entirely at the mercy of their family, and if their family turned their backs on them, they were at the mercy of every person …
