Genesis 5:1-32 Lineage How did we get here? That’s often a question in the church, in society, in our personal lives. It is a plot line feature in TV, movies, and books. The backstory sets the stage for the next chapter of the story. This backstory comes in following the narrative of Adam and Eve’s family and children, and then serves to…
John 15:12- 17, 26-27 ,21:20-25 John’s gospel starts talking about the beginning, going into the Word and light, and then John the Baptist.

John 6:1-15 Feeding of the 5000 This is a story that has a central role in the teachings of Jesus and about Jesus. The feeding of the 5000 appears in all 4 Gospels. It is not the same in each, and we probably know the synoptic version better. Let’s listen to John tell it. Jesus crosses the sea of Galilee, and the…
