Credit cards, relationships, faith and an ancient Roman coin.

The gospel according to Matthew is filled with violent parables. Here's one where a king throws a wedding party and throws someone out.

Jesus Christ invites us to notice everything even if it doesn't impact us personally.

Jonah ran from God. Jonah was eaten by a big fish. We remember those bits about Jonah but why did he run in the first place?

Let's fight about who matters at the table.

Sometimes we are distracted from church and Jesus but Jesus isn't distracted from us.

There were gods receiving sacrifices everyday when Paul wrote his letter to the Romans. What's a living sacrifice life in the face of storms like Harvey?

The disciples are gathered together the night after Easter. The doors are locked. So now what?

The cycle of noise and silence is a big part of the gospel according to Matthew. Jesus is risen. How is that heard?

There are hidden verses missing in tonight's reading. So what are the hidden companions to the text and how hidden from the world are we called to be?

The four gospels do not always match up. So why does Matthew have Jesus riding a donkey and a colt when Jesus enters Jerusalem?
