Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Spread (Luke 14:1-24)

Christ is invited to dine with the leader of the Pharisees.  It seems that Christ’s ministry is moving in a positive direction where he is making inroads with the movers and shakers of the society.  This seems to be underscored when we notice Luke tells us that the Phariesses were watching Him carefully.  This has to mean that Christ is being accepted by significant people.  Or is this banquet hosted for more nefarious reasons?

Sojourning Under the Sun: Perfection (Genesis 2)

The Lord has created and placed Adam in a wonderful garden sanctuary where Adam has a taste of heaven.  This is a place where man communes with the Lord and fellowships with the living God.  However, in the midst of this Garden there are two trees that will testify to man’s allegiance to the living God.  What is the significance of this garden?  Why does the Lord place these trees in the midst of the garden?  Why does the Lord enter his Sabbath rest after revealing the generations of the heavens and the earth?
