Sermon on The Feast of James, Apostle: Are You Able? (Matthew 20:20-28) July 25. Jesus asked: are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink? James and John answered: we are able. Jesus said: you will drink my cup. Acts 12:2 records the fulfillment in a subordinate clause. He did not flinch. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/are-you-able-the-feast-of-james-apostle-matthew-ch-20-vv-20-to-28/

Sermon: I Have Seen The Lord: The Feast of Mary Magdalene. July 22. She came to the tomb in the dark, wept, asked where the body had been taken. Then Jesus spoke one word: Mary. The risen Lord’s first word on Easter morning was a proper name. She recognized him. And she said: "I have seen the Lord". #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/i-have-seen-the-lord-the-feast-of-mary-magdalene-john-ch-20-vv-11-to-18/

Article on The Feast of Mary Magdalene: July 22: The risen Lord’s first word to any person on Easter morning is a name. He says ‘Mary.’ She recognizes him by her name spoken.

Four words spoken first by a woman who had been healed and refused to leave. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/the-feast-of-mary-magdalene-an-anglican-perspective/

The wheat and the tares. Let both grow until the harvest. The patience God requires is not indifference to evil; it is the refusal to execute a judgment that belongs to the Son of Man alone. Creation groans. The righteous wait. The harvest is certain. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity

Philippians 4:13 — ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ — is probably the most misquoted verse in the Bible. Athletes tattoo it for victory, motivational speakers slap it on success memes, others for success in whatever they do. But read the context (Phil 4:11-13): Paul is saying he’s learned to be content in any circumstance. Abundance or hunger, plenty or need, because Christ gives him strength to endure it all. Not a promise of unlimited achievement. A declaration of supernatural contentment amid hardship. It is about enduring lows. #Biblestr #ChristIsKing #Memestr
