I was also going to write more last week but didnt...
Church @ The Gathering
Speaker Allison Froese
Queens anesthesiologist
Matthew
Following a very busy day for Jesus
Centurions daughter healed,
Healed ______
Healed the demon possessed
And escaped across the lake
“Foxes have holes, birds have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”
We never hear about that person again
“Let the dead bury the dead”
An understandable attitude was held by the man, he was caught between two loyalties
And we never hear about him again.
Jesus is coming across as insensitive, maybe a little hit hearteless, and very counter cultural.
Story about a woman who felt called by God to go overseas,
Her mother hinted that she did not want that outcome
The daughter did not go overseas
Everyone has their own agenda
Jesus was blunt because he knows how often our agendas soak up our energy
Jesus wanted the energy to be directed properly.
Story from her life about being needed but unavailable
Taking a hard look at Jesus insistence about being counter cultural
Not fitting in, being odd
What intention does God have with your life?
That’s all for now!
