		<description><![CDATA[ But here’s the thing. Following Jesus is always about the future, not the past. The kids aren’t going to see what we have done in the past, but what we do now. Joining the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists with the full knowledge we might lose our building doing it is so five years ago. The risk we take to welcome folk now is what matters. And we never know what’s ahead, what price we may have to pay to follow Jesus. That’s when it will matter to the kids if we are willing to pay the price. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Maybe Jesus had just had it with those people and now he was going to go to the synagogue in the streets, where everyone was bent over and trying to catch a glimpse of God. He wouldn’t be the last one to give up on the church.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But what stunned the people who heard Jesus say this was not that he was rejecting his mother. Nobody cared about that since it was the head of the clan and the village elders who mattered, not any women or mothers. What got their attention was that he was rejecting the clan and family and village structure that shaped their whole way of living. He was saying his allegiance was not to that system, but to God's system, the Realm of God. Whether it’s family, or nation, or race, or class, the cry to their demands for our ultimate allegiance is, as we read at the beginning of today’s service, “No, a thousand times, No!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I appreciate it when people think about me. But, frankly, it is more helpful to have people praying for me. People’s thoughts about me are great, but they can’t do for me what God can do for me. God is the one who laid the foundations of the earth. God is the creator of life. God is in the miracle business. As nice as it is that others are thinking about me,I want God thinking about me and some folk reminding God to think about me. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What did Jesus say our number one priority was? “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.” What did he know the challenge for us was? The distractions. All three of those men knew what the Kingdom or realm of God required of them. Help that man out. But two of them were too distracted. They could have been distracted by their fear. By their religious and family responsibilities. Maybe they were distracted by their ideologies or religious and political convictions. They may have been late for work, or promised the kids they would be home for supper. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ But that’s not the way it was in this story. The woman got saved first, and then the repentance came. She knew that what Jesus was talking about, what reduced her to tears and made her bold enough to let down her hair in front of all those men, was a lot more than a self improvement program. It was way beyond being a better person and cleaning up her act. It was about finding the life Jesus talked about, it was about believing in the God Jesus believed in, not the god Simon believed in. “How crazy is this?,” she thought, “Simon and I need the same thing. But he doesn’t know that yet.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You read all the great stories in the Book of Acts and you have to wonder. Where’s the dynamite? What mess of porridge have we sold our birthright for? Why is nobody really afraid we are going to take Jesus seriously enough to turn the world upside down? How stupid have we become?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[     When cultural messages fan the flames of intolerance, prejudice, hatred, and violence, love becomes counter-cultural, radical, and even revolutionary. The scriptures declare again and again that love is of God. Connection, where once alienation festered, is of God. Humanizing “the other,” “the unclean,” “the outcast” is of God. The sober warning of the Epistle of John declares, “The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love–so you can’t know God if you don’t love” (I John 4:8).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We have an example of that mustard seed principle right here with the story of Mary Magdalene, and in the other resurrection stories in the Gospels. The Jesus movement was not carried on the back of spiritual giants, but rather through people like Mary Magdalene who if you had hooked up to a faithometer there would have hardly been a blip on the screen. But Mary, and the other women, and Peter, and John, and the 500 brothers, and James, and all the Apostles, and Paul, and all of us were invited to become a part of the mustard seed conspiracy, to put that tiny bit of faith, maybe hardly perceptible, to work.]]></description>
