On Swearing Oaths - Matthew 5:33-37
What are the things we do and say to convince others that we are serious, that we can be trusted, that we should be believed? In this easily overlooked teaching, Jesus instructs us to discard our attempts to win people over, to persuade someone to trust you, and simply be true and good, letting your life speak for itself. Can you commit to simply being trustworthy, regardless of whether any particular person recognizes your integrity?

The Parable of Weeds Among the Wheat
The OTHER parable of the sower! The the sower learns weeds are growing amidst his crops, but chooses not to try and pull them out, for fear the crop will be destroyed in the process. Are you able to tolerate the presence of a person or idea that is causing trouble in your space, when you know that trying to eliminate it will hurt more than help? www.thetableqc.com

The Road to Emmaus - Luke 24:13-35
Why could the disciples in this story not recognize Jesus or comprehend the resurrection? We can hypothesize a list of reasons, but let's start with accepting the basic fact that often human beings simply don't understand things that should be understandable.

Hold On To These Things - Philippians 4:4-9
In our scripture reading for today, the Apostle Paul counsels his dear friends to embrace and attend to goodness, and compassion and faith, in a time when he cannot promise that they will have homes or money or safety or any of the things that a person would want to have, for a stable and comfortable life. Because they can always hold on to things that are true, and honourable and just and commendable. Goodwill, kindness, dignity and integrity - these things can remain, even when other things pass away.
