As part of our attempts to stay connected as congregations and a circuit in these challenging times, I’m starting a series of daily Bible studies with colleagues today. Each day, we will examine a short text, discuss some context and suggest some points for reflection and discussion. I hope that folks may find them helpful. The sessions last no more than fifteen minutes.

Our session today returns to Matthew’s gospel and the familiar story of Jesus cleansing a leper (Matthew 8:1-4). The video may be viewed on Youtube here.
