In Remembrance
Mark 14:22-25 I remember crab feasts at Grandma and Granddaddy’s house. A couple times a year, Granddaddy would drive down the street to a place that sold steamed spiced crabs, straight from the Chesapeake Bay. He’d bring them back in big brown paper bags. Meanwhile, we would help Grandma put newspaper all over their old-fashioned […]

Miraculous Giving

It’s a miracle—God working through Jesus with the power of love.” And then she turned their attention from the biblical […]

A Place at the Table
Luke 14:15-24 Our Jesus the Foodie theme has been a walk down Memory Lane for me, stirring up snippets of songs and Sunday School lessons and favorite meals. This week’s story hits the jackpot—two distinct memories of learning this parable. The first comes from my high school youth group. We chose this parable for our […]
Feasting on Grace
Luke 15:11-32 “Unbelievable!” says the younger son in wonder, as he stands at the door looking into the feast. “I can’t believe this is for me. Last time I had a full meal it was pig slop. That’s all I deserve after what I did. How can I sit down at this feast? I don’t […]
What? My House?
Romans 12:9-13; Luke 19:1-10 The tune has been swirling in my head all week: “Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he. He climbed up high on the sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see.” The song conjures up memories of my kindergarten Sunday School class at Emmaus United […]
