Christ Church Jerusalem

18 Aug 2019 - In Luke 12: 49-56, Jesus says, "“I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!" Rev. David Pileggi walks us through this difficult passage. Jesus' message doesn't always bring peace but is often misunderstood and sometimes divides (We, though, should never generate the conflict nor the hostility). Jesus is urgently calling all of us in the world to make a decision, to choose life and healing. We need to recognize the days are evil and we must choose daily to repent and follow Jesus, to take advantage of God's offer of healing. Jesus is calling us to allow God's fire to refine us, perfect us, and bring us in to wholeness and maturity. Readings: Jeremiah 23:23-29; Hebrews 11:29-12:2; Luke 12:49-56 Blessed by our teachings?
