301. Being Neighborly

Luke 10:25-37

Sermon

Robert C. Cochran

... passes by on the other side of the road. We are surely doomed. If even a priest won’t help us in our current state, we are lost, indeed. But, look. Someone else comes; a Levite this time: not quite as holy as a priest but still a descendant of Levi and an important, if secondary, figure in temple life. But he, too, passes to the other side and walks on. It’s obvious that we are to die here. Finally, a third figure approaches. But what hope have we of being saved if church leaders are afraid to help us ...

King Duncan

... ’s what’s stunning, though. Experts predict that the market for counterfeit goods will reach $2.3 trillion dollars by the year 2022. We’re talking about real money! The most counterfeited goods in the world are shoes and clothes like Nike and Levis, handbags and watches by brands like Cartier and Coach, and—this is the one that’s scary—medications like Tamiflu, Lipitor and Viagra. (5) Are you wearing something that is counterfeit? Even more crucial, could you be believing some things that are ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... story of Tamar involves Judah (who would represent one of the tribes of Israel). Out of the line of Judah, the messiah would come. Judah was one of the sons of Jacob. Jacob first married Leah and had several sons: Reuben (the eldest), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Jacob then married Rachel and had Joseph and Benjamin. Rachel died in childbirth having Benjamin on the way to Bethlehem Ephrath where they would settle. Jacob then had children with Bilhah (Rachel’s maid): Dan and Naphtali, and he ...

... the authority of God. He began to call disciples (in the tradition of the great Hillel) --not the usual students of the Torah in Jerusalem, but those who came from John’s group of disciples, and others who were unexpected but with potential (such as Matthew –Levi). Jesus not only went to the lost, he called the lost. He called disciples from the more conservative Judaism of Galilee, those most authentic and loyal. He would teach them his way (his yoke). And that is what he began doing that day in the ...

Jesus called the two brothers “the sons of Thunder” Philip Bartholomew Thomas Matthew (Levi the tax collector) James the son of Alphaeus Thaddeus, also known as Lebbaeus, and also most likely known as Judas son of James, to distinguish him from the other Judas Simon the Cananaean, a Zealot Judas Iscariot (son of Simon the Leper ...

Luke 14:1-14, Luke 14:15-24

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... of house is multi-layered. While the Lord’s “house” may be seen as the Temple or as the kingdom of God with many rooms, the word “house” also has the connotation of a “people,” as in the “house” of David, or the “house” of Levi. Those of the “house” are those “children” of God who are in line for the inheritance of the kingdom. The original Jewish thought was that the “house” of Israel is a blood-line. Those who are by blood descended from Abraham would be included in the ...

... carrying this morning? How heavy is your heart? How weighed down is your spirit? Most of the time, when we think about that question, we think of the burdens of responsibility we carry or the weight of grief, the sandbags of unfair treatment levied against us, or hardships, such as unemployment, or health, or broken relationships. Certainly, those burdens of despair and sorrow can weigh heavily upon our hearts. But other kinds of burdens can be far more deadly and insidious --and we put them upon ourselves ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... , as Hamar asks Jacob to bless the union of his son with his daughter. As in European history, often tribes and kingdoms would be united in peace by the intermarriage of both rulers’ children. This is the case here. However, Simeon, Levi, and others disagree. They want no intermarriage. They refuse to recognize the binding obligation of their intercourse. Therefore, the negotiation is called a defilement, a sham, a breech of honor. In consequence, the brothers destroy their neighbors. Hate destroys. The ...

... an excuse, but there it is. Scripture tells us he steered clear of the dying man by heading on down the opposite side of the road. Enter man number two. The second guy is identified as a Levite. The Jewish priests were part of the tribe of Levi, but not all Levites were priests. The remainders were, however, a part of the holy proceedings of temple worship. Some of them took part as singers in the temple choir. Others were musicians who played instruments as part of the worship music. Many of the Levites ...

... ’s genealogy. Tamar has upheld and valued the covenant. She took her command to bear a child seriously, and that child would become part of the covenant ancestral line that would bear the messiah. Likewise, the baby Moses, a prophet/priest from the tribe of Levi, would be saved, and nurtured by his own mother as a wet nurse to an Egyptian princess. His life would become integral to the Jewish story. He would be the rescuer of God’s children. From the Passover in which Israel’s children are saved ...

Psalm 134:1-3

Understanding Series

Craig C. Broyles

... “servants,” Psalm 135, the following psalm probably supports the latter suggestion. The opening call to praise in Psalms 134:1 and 135:1–2 have virtually identical terminology and the closing call to praise in Psalm 135:19–21 addresses Israel, Aaron, Levi, and “you who fear him.” Because the NIV consistently (mis-)translates the imperative “Bless (Hb. bārûk) the LORD” as praise the LORD, it misses a decisive wordplay. As worshipers are commanded to “bless the LORD” (vv. 1–2), so he ...

... ad hoc force but rather a standing army on defined rotation, able to defend Israel constantly. First Chronicles 27:16–22 lists the leaders of the tribes of Israel, leaving out the two tribes of Gad and Asher, separating Aaron from the rest of Levi, and dividing the Joseph tribes into three groups (Ephraim, half Manasseh, half Manasseh), to bring the total number to thirteen. By placing this list of tribal leaders at the end of his list of material in chapters 23–27, the Chronicler is foreshadowing their ...

Yet, when the coronavirus did come, it took us by surprise. Looking back, we should have known that those levies would eventually fail. They were made by hand; too short, too thin, and too fragile. If the right hurricane came at the right time in the right place, they would not be able to contain the storm surge and New Orleans would be devastated. Yet, when Katrina ...

... their course. They had hardened their hearts against me. Some of my most valuable things went into the yard sale. Then, as if to add insult to injury, they priced those valued possessions miles below what they were worth. I could not but weep as I watched my classic Levis 501 button-fly jeans sell for a mere dollar a pair. I writhed in agony as my beloved skillets sold for fifty cents each, all five for two dollars. I winced as my rubber chickens were carted off for a mere 25 cents apiece. It was a brutal ...

One must be very naive or dishonest to imagine that men choose their beliefs independently of their situation.

Claude Levi-Strauss

Enthusiastic partisans of the idea of progress are in danger of failing to recognize – because they set so little store by them – the immense riches accumulated by the human race on either side of the narrow furrow on which they keep their eyes fixed; by underrating the achievements of the past, they devalue all those which still remain to be accomplished.

Claude Levi-Strauss

I think that a society cannot live without a certain number of irrational beliefs. They are protected from criticism and analysis because they are irrational.

Claude Levi-Strauss

Music is a language by whose means messages are elaborated, that such messages can be understood by the many but sent out only by few, and that it alone among all the languages unites the contradictory character of being at once intelligible and untranslatable - these facts make the creator of music a being like the gods.

Claude Levi-Strauss

The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge.
