"The Kingdom of God is like a party”, says Jesus, but what kind of party is it? Is it the sort of party I used to throw for my kids when they were little, featuring jumping castles, face paintings, and Ariel the Little Mermaid, or is it more like the dinner party I once attended at Bishop’s Court where you need to be rather careful with your words and make sure you pass the port in the right direction? The party Jesus talks about in our Gospel today has a disturbing and violent edge to it. Are we sure we want to attend this party?

Shocking recent events in Israel and Palestine. Hamas made a well-coordinated military assault on Israel by both land and air that apparently took the Israeli military completely by surprise http://israelandpalestine.org http://www.fatherdave.org http://fighting-fathers.com I think we’ve all been shocked by the recent events in Israel and Palestine. Hamas made a well-coordinated military assault on Israel by both land and air that apparently took the Israeli military completely by surprise. Hundreds of people were killed, prisoners were taken, and the whole region has been thrown into turmoil. I don’t think any of us in the Fighting Fathers community could celebrate the Hamas’ attack. Civilians have been killed and hostages taken. There’s already been a terrible loss of human life, and I’m no fan of Hamas. I’ve seen firsthand some of the things done, if not by them directly, by their parent organisation, The Muslim Brotherhood. I do not support Hamas and I do not support this kind of violence in any way. Having said that, I equally cannot support the sort of retaliation that is being talked about, both within Israel and by Israel’s supporters around the world – a retaliation that Benjamin Netanyahu has promised “will be remembered for decades to come”. There is a lot being said about this conflict at the moment, and I appreciate that it can all be a bit confusing. I want to say just two relatively straightforward things that I think need to be said. Then I’ll leave it to you to think it through further as you pray for Israel and for Palestine and for our fragile and fracturing world ... read the full transcript here: https://israelandpalestine.org/israel-and-palestine-are-at-war/ #israel #palestine #hamasattack #hamasvsisrael #australia #worldorder #unitednations #unitednationshumanrights#hamasah #israelprotests #israelprotests

If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Yet whatever gains I had; these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow, I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.

I’m introducing this week’s Gospel reading with the last verse rather than the first. That seems appropriate in this case, of course, but my reason for doing so is solely because I feared losing your interest if I began with verse one: “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.” (Matthew 20:1) Read more... https://www.fatherdave.org/blog/the-kingdom-of-god-is-full-of-surprises/ #fatherdave #fightingfather #australia

Father Ola speaks to this weeks' Bible readings, focusing on the issue of 'forgiveness'. He also shares some shocking news from Sweden about a shooting spree that’s been happening in Stockholm. The issue of forgiveness seems especially relevant to Ola and his fellow Swedes at the moment. First broadcast on http://thesundayeucharist.com on September 17, 2023

“Then Peter came and said to [Jesus], “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but I tell you, seventy-seven times. (Matthew 18:21-22) Read more... https://www.fatherdave.org/blog/forgivness-is-serious-business/

“Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.” (Romans 13:8-10) Read more... https://www.fatherdave.org/blog/love-is-all-you-need/
