"If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell." thesojour...

"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.   After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, 'If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ Then the devil took him to the holy cit...

"'Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.   You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.   A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.   But I t...

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.   Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'” Matt. 28:18-20 thesojourn.org

"Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.   After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.   When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out...

"Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,     I will be joyful in God my Savior." Habakkuk 3:18 thesojourn.org

"You will keep in perfect peace     those whose minds are steadfast,     because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever,     for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal." Isaiah 26:3-4

Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill.    He warned them not to tell others about him. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:   “Here is my servant whom I have chosen,     the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him,     and he will proclaim justice to the nations.   He will not quarrel...

"At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, 'Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.' "He answered, 'Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?   He entered the house of God, and...

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.   Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.   For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” This week, we're launching our series on sabbath. If you're interested in joining us on Sunday, or getting in a group to discuss the sabbath practice,...

“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: “‘We played the pipe for you,     and you did not dance; we sang a dirge,     and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’   The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of t...

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.   But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.    For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father,     a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her m...

"So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.   What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.   Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.   Are not tw...

“'I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.   Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues.   On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.   But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that...

"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.   When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.   Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.   Ask the Lord of the h...

"While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.   And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, 'Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.' But the Pharisees said, 'It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.'”

"As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, 'Have mercy on us, Son of David!' When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?' 'Yes, Lord,' they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith let it be done to you';   and their sight was restore...

"While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, 'My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.' Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, 'If I only touch...

Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests be sad while the groom is with them? The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one patches an old garment with unshrunk cloth, because the patch pulls away from the garment and makes the te...

As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and s...

"Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.   Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, 'Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.' At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, 'This fellow is blaspheming!' Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, 'Why do you entertain evil thou...
