Feast of St. Barnabas Sermon: the Son of Encouragement who gave freely, traveled light, and sought not his own renown. He lived Matthew 10 — proclaiming the Kingdom, serving without pay, wise as serpents and innocent as doves. A powerful model for us today. #ChristIsKing #Barnabas #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/not-his-own-renown-barnabas-the-apostle-2026-matthew-ch-10-vv-7-to-16/

Today the Church observes the Feast of Saint Barnabas. He stood before the apostles in Jerusalem and vouched for Saul when no one else would. If he had been wrong, the cost would have been real. He was not wrong. The man he testified for wrote half the New Testament. #ChristIsKing #Barnabas #Biblestr https://www.mountainvicar.com/barnabas-the-apostle-an-anglican-perspective/

Thanks. Helpful. Followed all I didn’t already have.

The Pharisees had the sacrifices exactly right. They’d lost the "hesed". Jesus quotes Hosea to the Bible scholars: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ Without the inner reality, the outward form is a morning cloud — gone before noon. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #MeryNotSacrifice https://www.mountainvicar.com/hesed-steadfast-love-matthew-ch-9-vv-9-to-13/

Indeed, a pleasure.
