ST. ANDREW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH'S COMMITMENT TO MATTHEW 25 25 - When Jesus began reading from a scroll in the synagogue, Luke’s gospel records that his text came from the book of Isaiah. “He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives,” Jesus says, quoting Isaiah.

MATTHEW 25 BUILDING VITAL CONGREGATIONS SUNDAY - John 20 gives us one of those timeless settings. The disciples had gathered in a house. Doors were locked. Questions were spiraling. The fear was palpable. Jesus had been crucified just a few days prior and the disciples still hadn’t really figured out what their next move should be. So, they sat. Confused. Doing nothing except worry about how the entire world had changed.

But then, all of a sudden, Jesus shows up ...

MATTHEW 25 CALLING - Three churches in southern Indiana have separate focuses to their Matthew 25 work. But through a thoughtful process of establishing a cohort to strengthen each of the three ministry efforts, the three congregations — First Presbyterian Church in Bloomington, First Presbyterian Church in Columbus and Fairlawn Presbyterian Church in Columbus — have begun, in the words of the Rev. Kelley Jepsen, transitional associate pastor at FPC in Bloomington, “to think creatively, to dream more broadly and to find concrete ways to begin moving from learning into action” ...

MATTHEW 25 CONGREGATION - In Deuteronomy, the people are urged never to forget God’s laws. Remember them. Teach them to future generations. “Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:8–9).

While an ancient edict, there are still Jewish households today that seek to remember by mounting what is called a mezuzah onto their doorpost. Inside the mezuzah, which is a small container, is a piece of parchment with the words from Deuteronomy. As members of the household go about their daily tasks, they pass the mezuzah coming and going, and they remember.

While the congregation of Korean Maryland Presbyterian Church doesn’t have mezuzahs in their homes, they do have something for their walls ...
