Thoughts on this weeks text from a neo-traditional Pentecostal mystic. In these pages you will find a pentecostal perspective, a concern for the interplay of RCL readings, and attempts to contextualize the text for intergenerational family ministry. I will also post poetry and artwork I find meaningful in my meditation for Sunday.

Matthean or Jesuic Sitz im leiben?
Whose life situation do we understand this parable from? When Jesus says "He who has ears to hear let him hear," he speaks of attending to the seed. When Matthew says through Jesus, "He who has ears to hear let him hear," he speaks of understanding the fact of why the Gospel they preach seems ineffective sometimes, and how the Matthean Christians should continue casting. For Jesus the Gospel is in the seed, for Matthew it is in the broadcast and the extravagance of the farmer. Where is the Gospel for us this week?
