As of this writing (Tuesday) my wife Jan has COVID. The symptoms are mainly head-cold like but she feels miserable. She had to put round four of her chemo treatments on hold for a week. But… we did have good news from her CT scan last week. The cancer has stabilized which is exactly what the doctor wants to see. 

As of this writing (Tuesday) I do not have COVID so I will be back with you this weekend (after missing church last Sunday so as not to potentially be a spreader). 

We continue our series following Jesus through Luke’s Gospel by looking at a compelling story of grief, loss, compassion, and grace. (You can read the Bible text below.)

You can now catch the weekend messages on Podcast!

11 Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12 As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow, and with her was a large crowd from the town. 13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.” 14 Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized all of them, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” 17 This word about him spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the surrounding region.
