We All Need a Barnabas In Our Life

Readings for the Fifth Sunday of Easter - Acts 9:26-31;  John 15:1-8The further we get from Easter, the less "Eastery" our readings sound.  Today we hear of Paul attempting to find his footing in Jerusalem among the apostles and Jesus speaking to us of grapes and vines and fruit that will remain.  But what does this have to do w/ the celebration of Easter?  What lessons are we to take?  It means that new life is not found just among the tombs of Jerusalem.  It's found in our daily walk and work, the unseen growth we experience, and the courage of those around us.Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.  And thanks to all of you for breaking open God's Word alongside of me.  If this is a podcast that has touched you, I invite you to rate it on your favorite listening app or share it with a friend.  Have a question or a comment?  I can be reached at [email protected]
