“Reality TV with Jesus” By The Rev. Dr. Louisa W. Umphres - Twenty-First  Sunday After Pentecost

Scriptures: Hebrews 4:12-16, Mark 10:17-31  In Hebrews and in the Gospel of Mark, we are reminded that sometimes God likes to ‘keep it real’ and asks us to be ‘vulnerable.’ Let’s not shy away from these texts but embrace that sometimes Jesus wants to challenge us. After all, in being challenged we might find renewed grace and love!Bio: The Reverend Doctor Michael Brewer is a retired pastor with 28 years of ministry at Crescent Springs Presbyterian and 14 years at Blue Ash Presbyterian.
