I’m amazed at the vulnerability of the disciples Jesus sends out. Their vulnerability is all they have—no wallet or backpack, no American Express card or cell phone, no shoes. They must depend on the hospitality of those to whom they are sent. They become a part of another family and rely on their new family for a roof over their heads and food to eat. But in their simplicity and vulnerability, they discover the amazing power of God. I wonder—in what ways might Jesus call me to travel lightly, to embrace vulnerability, and to rely on the hospitality of others?
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
