Mustard Seed Superheroes

Kalamazoo Mennonite Fellowship
February 28, 2009

Today, we're going to learn about telekinesis, and what makes Jesus mad.

Luke 17:5f 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

Love in the Days of COVID-19

I found this video by Arthur C Brooks “Love in the Days of COVID-19” pretty useful and interesting. https://murdocktrust.org/2020/04/love-in-the-days-of-covid-19-a-discussion-with-arthur-c-brooks/ His presentation is only 30 minutes, starting around the 2 minute mark. I have notes, too.

A Fundamental Error: Trying to just get through it.

A Better Response: See it as an occasion to make other people's lives better.

  • Q1 – Are you spending a lot of time being disappointed?
  • Q2 – Are you frittering away a lot of time trying to get more certainty about what's happening?
  • Q2 - Are you lonely?

How to pitch a little bit

Learning to pitch a little bit

More honestly: How I learned to pitch, a little bit, for the 1991 Denson book

I will use a minimum of muical jargon, because I just don’t know that much.

Here’s what you probably need to know first:

  1. The shapes,
  2. Major vs minor keys
