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.

Yesterday, my colleague, Deacon Kathy Johnson, led a very helpful session on Jesus stilling the storm from Mark’s gospel, which you may see here.

Our session today concludes this week’s reflections with another dip into the Old Testament and the call of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:1-3), with a reference to Psalm 137:1-4.(Matthew 8:1-4). The video may be viewed on Youtube here.
