Or, head to our website to connect with the worshiping community of Immanuel CRC: immanuelministries.ca 1. How does the Ascension of Jesus impact our appreciation of this text? 2. How do you easily white-wash Jesus' command, "do not swear an oath at all?" What can you do to move closer to keeping it? Does it bother you when the state insists you swear an oath? Should it? 3. What is the first surprise in Jesus comments about 'no revenge'? What is the second surprise? What should we do if our response to evil does not produce good results? Why does Jesus tell us not to seek vengeance? 4. Who are your enemies? Why does Jesus tell us that in loving our enemies we will be children of the Father? Reflect on this regarding your own Christian experience.

MRE Podcast MRE Podcast This is a daily devotional podcast for those who want more of God's Word each day. I read the Word and share my insights from the Word. You might ask why do I do this? In the wilderness, the Israelites had to depend on daily mana from heaven to live. They couldn't eat yesterday's nor keep them for the next day. They always lived on the fresh mana each day. We also need to live by the fresh word of God each day. However, often we skip a meal and live on the past encounters with God. Someone of us gets too busy to eat or someone us do not know how or where to start. We need fresh encounters each day with the Lord so that the love of Christ will overflow to others. That's what I am doing, doing my quiet time and feasting and sharing the food with people. Join the Lord's table with me!
