Edward’s Key Points Today

  • Great insight at bottom of p. 135 - Now Paul’s letters are read pertaining to us as individuals in the 21st century. Edwards reminds us that the Letter to the Galatians is written to a group of congregations - a body of people - and applied primarily to the church gathered as congregation and it as a living community. So the insights should be applied that way.

  • Galatians is the first written according to Edwards.

  • We forget that the Christian Church did NOT have a New Testament at this time - just each other and wandering evangelists teaching the way of Christ.

  • Edwards insists that the current New Testament must be revised to reflect a chronological approach in layout rather than the current form.

  • He is not sure if Titus delivered the letter to the congregations.

  • There were two letters - Galatians and the letter of the ruling of the Jerusalem Council for the Gentile Christian that Paul would deliver to the community. Grace alone.

My Thoughts on Today’s Session -

  • The church leaders even in the first century, were sometimes not in agreement with how the ministry should proceed. Paul and Silus spilt with Barnabas and John Mark and go off to previously established churches in Syria and Cilicia.

  • Two messages 

    • Have believers hear of the grace of God.

    • Went to strengthen the churches in that area.


How have you experienced God’s grace today?

Invite your friends to our journey.

In Christ,

Parables - New Wineskins

-

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires and

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each person
