When Peter asks Jesus how many times we must forgive, Jesus shares about forgiveness from a Kingdom perspective. How do we lean into this Kingdom perspective? Fr. Darryl offers the following reflection for us to try in the week that lies ahead. ~ Matthew 18:21-35 Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

If Christianity were to be compared to a football team, we play for the symbol on the helmet not for the name on the jersey. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

The most important place we can bring those we love, is into the presence of God. Let us not be neglectful of prayer. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

There are two kinds of miracles. One when God answers our requests. Two when we answer God's request. Learn how to be a miracle in this world. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

When life's challenges come, how do Christians overcome? In the week that lies ahead, Fr. Darryl encourages us to face life trials with this simple reminder. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

Each of us has been given a life. How we answer the question, "What is the Meaning of Life?" is the hallmark of Christian wisdom. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

The Christian life is not so much about how we start but how we end. Here is a helpful way by which we can improve as we go so that we might end well. Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.

In the Parable of the Sower, seed is cast on many types of ground. Fr. Darryl speaks to the nature of the seed and the words by which to plant it in the soil of our hearts. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

There is a tiredness of the soul that no amount of sleep or vacation can relieve. Jesus however, offers a solution and a promise of rest. Join Fr. Darryl as he shares how we can live between the steps of our lives and find rest for our souls.

God is at work in our midst, is it possible in the busyness of our lives to miss the miracles He is doing?

Using an fun example, Fr. Darryl asks the question, "Is there grass growing on your prayer path?" And then encourages us in Conversational Prayer with Jesus. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

It is easy to think God will use someone else, someone more qualified, to share the Gospel in Jerusalem (your city), Samaria & Judea (your region), or to the ends of the earth. But the Gospel always starts at home - so live it there, even if no one notices - because it will change you, and then you never know what God will do through you. - Acts 1:1-14

In First Peter we are asked "Finally all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind." Sympathy in our modern world has taken on a different meaning, it maybe something we don't even want from one another. And yet it is essential. Let's look at what it means and the value add it is to our life together. - 1 Peter 3:8 (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

As Christians, we are called to participate in God's plan, but we need to leave in God's hands the results. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

As a child, Fr. Darryl's Dad used to "tune in" to baseball on the radio. So the question for Nicodemus and us today is, what voices are we tuning into? And we may need to have a few "presets" to keep us on track - tuned in to the eternal voice of Christ. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

(Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

As Christians, before we say to ourselves we are believers, we may first want to ask if we trust God. To trust, in hard times and good times, is to believe.

Dad was forever turning out the lights in the house and I find myself doing the same. It may however prove a helpful reminder to us all as we listen to today's gospel. Is our light on? Or has it gone out? Matthew 5:13-20

Fr. Darryl recommends that all of us have a grave plan. Here he shares his own.

In the Christian life, we offer to others free samples of Christ in our forgiveness, patience, generosity, and kindness.

The parable of the Lost Sheep offers a wonderful imagery of Christ as a Shepherd, who finds a wandering sheep, lost, and lifts it on His shoulders to carry it home. The nature the sheep wandering is however, descriptive of the human condition. A diagnosis for which I offer the following remedy ... (Luke 15:1-10)

The Gospel is about reconciliation, the reconciling of humanity to God. The letter of Paul to Philemon is a short but powerful story of reconciliation. In the week that lies ahead, may we live into this by building bridges.

We need to face the reality of our situation here in this life. It's a situation that requires a firm grip on Jesus. So sit back, close your eyes and imagine ... Luke 14:7 (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

In Church, we offer ourselves, our souls, and bodies to be a living sacrifice to Christ. And what we do in Church is meant to extend beyond the doors onto the field of life. Indeed, here is some inspiration to encourage us beyond the Church walls. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

Jesus brings a message of the love and reconciliation of God with humanity. A message that is received by some but rejected by others. If Jesus' message brought on his crucifixion, let us ponder the question, "Is there enough Jesus in us to make people are uncomfortable?" Luke 12:51 (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

Martin of Tours: Christ appeared wearing a torn blanket. And the Angel asked the Lord why he was wearing a torn cloak. Christ answered, "When I was shivering, Martin gave it to me." So don't miss the opportunity in life to be rich toward God by being rich toward others. Luke 12:15-21 (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

When we ask God for something the results we think of are Yes, No, or maybe Not Yet. There is a fourth result that dominates the Scriptures. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

When we are little, we have childhood fears. As we grow up, what we are afraid of may change, but fears remain. Although it is a part of life, the Gospel gives insight into how we can manage it. Luke 10:38-42 (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

The disciples were sent out two-by-two ahead of Jesus, to prepare the way for Christ. Then Jesus will come. It is the same today. Luke 10:1 "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go." (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

The danger of the little sins in life is that we may underestimate their impact on the person of the Holy Spirit in our life. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

As we move through this world toward the next, the New Jerusalem, we seek to gain those characteristics of that next Kingdom: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, and Self-control. To gain these Kingdom values, let's look to a 4th century monk in the Egyptian desert. (Special thank you to Tod Stinson of Pilot Reel for production.)

There are times in our life when we struggle to see God. Yet, no matter the obstacles that keep us from seeing the Father, trust He always sees us. Believing is trusting. Like the Celtics' tie game against Seattle, we need to get Jesus the ball, entrust Him with our problems, and get out of the way.
