Tuesday

We continue with our walk with the disciples through the last week of Jesus' life with a look at the events of Tuesday. The Jerusalem Times is reporting some demonstrators causing disturbance in Jerusalem and the Temple authorities and perhaps the Romans have noticed. It is getting very scary to be a follower of Jesus in Jerusalem because the things He is doing are directly confronting the Domination System that runs the place. What's a poor Christian to do?

Monday

This Sunday we continue in the steps of the disciples during Mark's account of the last week of Jesus' life. On Monday, Jesus did two odd things: he threw a hissy fit at a fig tree, and he caused a disturbance in church. Come join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church as we continue our examination of our sins for Lent in our sermon from Jeremiah 7:1-7,11 and Mark 11:12-19 called Monday by clicking on any of the blue text.

Sunday

This is the first Sunday in Lent, and Community Presbyterian has begun a walk with Jesus through His last week on earth, as recounted in the Gospel we know as Mark. The bulletin cover this Sunday was the photograph of a lone Chinese protester in 1989, his groceries in his hand, facing down a column of Chinese tanks. What has the one to do with the other? Find out in our Sermon from Zechariah 9:9-10 and Mark 11:1-11 as we join the disciples at the east gate of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, by clicking on any of the blue text.

The Occult

"The Occult" used to mean Ouija boards and scary stuff at night. Now it apparently means werewolves and vampires that glitter in the sunlight instead of falling to pieces as a proper vampire is supposed to do. We hear a lot of concern about kids getting wound up in "The Occult", and a lot of concern about the Harry Potter stories. I'm not much bothered by Harry Potter. I think the books have excellent messages.

There *is* an occult, though. God's actions in His Creation are often occult -- hidden and ambiguous.
