Last Notes npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Sermon: August 24: Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle. Before Philip called you, I saw you. Nathanael discovered that Christ knew him before he came to Christ. That is where faith begins: not with our achievement, but with grace. Come and see. Believe. Serve. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Article on the Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle: John 1:47: an Israelite in whom there is no deceit. Nathanael was known before he arrived. He confessed before the others saw. Bartholomew’s feast falls the day after Peter's confession at Caesarea Philippi, two great confessions in two days. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar “The Confession of the Church” Matthew 16:13–20. The disciples had seen the works of Jesus. Peter confessed who Jesus is. And Jesus said the Father had revealed it. Evidence matters. But the confession of Christ is ultimately a gift of grace. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar On Sunday we read Matthew 16:13–20. Before then, read the passage. The disciples have already confessed Jesus as the Son of God. Then, at Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks a more searching question: “But who do you say that I am?” Notice what Peter says, and where Jesus says that confession came from. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar From Sunday's Sermon: The Canaanite woman came for her daughter, who could not come for herself. We are not bystanders in the lives of the people we love. We can come when they cannot. We can kneel when they will not. We can say, Lord, help me, and mean both ourselves and them in the same breath. Is there someone you need to bring before Jesus this week? #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar From Sunday's Sermon: Jesus did not answer the Canaanite woman a word. She came back anyway. She knelt and said four words: "Lord, help me." Has there been a season when you kept coming to Christ even through silence? What held you there? #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Matthew 15:22: “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David.” She does not say: have mercy on my daughter. She says: have mercy on me. Her daughter’s suffering and her own are not separable. The best intercession does not pretend to be unaffected. Read Sunday’s sermon: #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar "Great Is Your Faith." Matthew 15:21–28. A Canaanite woman comes to Jesus in Gentile territory. He is silent. The disciples want her gone. She kneels and says: "Lord, help me." Then she presses the metaphor of crumbs from the table until he answers. Jesus calls what she does great faith. It is what great faith has always looked like. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Sermon: Sermon: “She Said Yes.” Luke 1:46–55. The Feast of the Virgin Mary. We simply honor her for what Scripture says plainly: she is the mother of the incarnate Son of God, and she said yes before she knew the full cost. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Tomorrow we read Matthew 15:21–28. Before Sunday, read the passage. A Canaanite woman comes to Jesus outside Israel’s borders. He does not answer her. The disciples ask him to send her away. She does not leave. Notice what she says, and notice what Jesus calls it when she is finished. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Matthew 14:22–33: the disciples are in this storm because of obedience, not disobedience. They got into the boat because Jesus told them to. They have been at the oars for hours in conditions they did not plan for. Sometimes faithfully doing what God calls us to do leads straight into the storm. Has that been true for you? What did that teach you? #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Matthew 14:22–33 and Jonah 2 are appointed together this last Sunday, and the pairing is deliberate. Jonah prays from the belly of the fish, from the deep, from the place of no escape: “Yet you brought up my life from the pit.” (Jonah 2:6) Peter cries from the Sea of Galilee: “Lord, save me.” Both men sinking. Both crying out. Both rescued. Both end in worship. They tell the same story in two testaments. If you missed Sunday’s sermon, this is one of the things we explored. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar 🙏 npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar One detail from Sunday’s Gospel worth sitting with. Matthew 14:22–33: Jesus could have calmed the storm from the mountain. He could see them making headway painfully from his place of prayer. He chose instead to walk into the middle of it, into the same wind, toward the same waves. He was not content to help from a safe distance. Sometimes we fear that Christ is watching our storms from a comfortable distance. Matthew 14 says otherwise. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar “Lord, Save Me.” Matthew 14:22–33. The disciples have been in a storm for hours when Jesus walks toward them on the water. Peter steps out of the boat and walks toward him. He sees the wind. He begins to sink. He cries out: Lord, save me. The hand reaches immediately. Little faith was enough to get him out of the boat. The hand of Christ was enough to keep him from drowning. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Sermon on The Feast of the Transfiguration: August 6: Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration. On a mountain in Galilee, the face of Jesus shone like the sun. Moses and Elijah appeared. A voice spoke from the cloud. The same Jesus who healed the sick and bore the cross blazed with the glory that was always his. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar One detail from Sunday’s Gospel worth sitting with. Matthew 14:13–21: the crowd ate and went home. The disciples carried twelve baskets back through the dark. They had felt the bread multiply in their hands. They had watched him look up to heaven and bless. And as they carried those baskets through the desolate place, a question was beginning to form. “Who is this?” Sometimes we don’t recognize what God is doing until we’re the ones carrying the basket. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar GM, Nostriches. Today would be a great day to go the biblically faithful church of your choice. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar I'm MountainVicar, a husband, father, and parish priest serving in the North Georgia mountains. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Always feels good to spend lightning. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Will be heading to Midday Prayer soon.

The mustard seed, the leaven, the hidden treasure, the pearl, the dragnet. The first two show how the Kingdom works: in hiddenness, from small beginnings. The middle two show what it is worth: everything. The last one shows what happens at the end. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Sermon on The Feast of James, Apostle: Are You Able? (Matthew 20:20-28) July 25. Jesus asked: are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink? James and John answered: we are able. Jesus said: you will drink my cup. Acts 12:2 records the fulfillment in a subordinate clause. He did not flinch. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Medium rare elk steak medallions from our first @nprofile…p5gx order.

July 22. She came to the tomb in the dark, wept, asked where the body had been taken. Then Jesus spoke one word: Mary. The risen Lord’s first word on Easter morning was a proper name. She recognized him. And she said: "I have seen the Lord". npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar The wheat and the tares. Let both grow until the harvest. The patience God requires is not indifference to evil; it is the refusal to execute a judgment that belongs to the Son of Man alone. Creation groans. The righteous wait. The harvest is certain. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Shopster? Have ordered some things from there in the past. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Isaiah 55:11: "My word shall not return to me empty." Matthew 13 shows most seed producing nothing. But the word accomplishes God’s purpose even when it does not visibly bear fruit in every hearer. In the good soil, it exceeds every expectation. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Praise God. 👊🏻 npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Matthew 11:29: take my yoke upon you. The yoke is not effortless but good, kind, well-fitting, shaped for the one who wears it. The burden of Christ is light not because following costs nothing but because he carries it alongside us. #Biblestr #ChristIsKing #Christianity npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar June 29: Peter and Paul. On the shore of Tiberias, Jesus asks Peter three times: do you love me? The same number he denied. Each question overrides a denial. Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep. And then: follow me. This is what restoration looks like. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar June 29: Peter and Paul. One who denied and was restored. One who persecuted and was arrested by grace. They argued in Antioch. They were martyred in Rome. The Church has never thought it necessary to choose between them. That is what the joint feast says. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Christianity npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar GM npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Feast of St. Barnabas Sermon: the Son of Encouragement who gave freely, traveled light, and sought not his own renown. He lived Matthew 10 — proclaiming the Kingdom, serving without pay, wise as serpents and innocent as doves. A powerful model for us today. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Today the Church observes the Feast of Saint Barnabas. He stood before the apostles in Jerusalem and vouched for Saul when no one else would. If he had been wrong, the cost would have been real. He was not wrong. The man he testified for wrote half the New Testament. #ChristIsKing #Barnabas #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Thanks. Helpful. Followed all I didn’t already have. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar 👋 npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar The Pharisees had the sacrifices exactly right. They’d lost the "hesed". Jesus quotes Hosea to the Bible scholars: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ Without the inner reality, the outward form is a morning cloud — gone before noon. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #MeryNotSacrifice npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Indeed, a pleasure. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar ACNA, North Georgia Mountains npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Gator Ice Cream in Jacksonville Beach, FL accepts Bitcoin. #GrowNostr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Four times a year, the Anglican calendar sets aside three days for fasting, prayer, and intercession for the Church's ministry. Most Anglicans have never heard of them. Here's what Ember Days are, when they fall, and how to observe them well. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #EmberDays npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Mary Magdalene wept alone in a garden on Easter morning. By Pentecost she is gathered with the 120 in prayer, then stands with the whole community as the Spirit is poured out on all flesh — and three thousand more are added that same day. The arc of Easter does not end with a private encounter. It ends with a community sent. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Jesus doesn't pray for his people to escape the world. He prays to keep them in his name and send them into it. The new creation is underway and we are its agents — kept in his name, doing kingdom work while we wait. He is still praying for us. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Eastertide npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Jesus doesn't say try harder. He says abide. Stay connected. The branch produces fruit not by effort but by remaining on the vine. Apart from him we can do nothing. Abide in him, and your joy will be full. The fruit comes in its season. #ChristIsKing #Christianity #Easter npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar In a world that hides dependence behind supply chains and packaged goods, Rogation Sunday does something quietly subversive: takes us outside, sets us on our feet, and teaches us to ask — holding out empty hands to the Lord of heaven and earth. Ancient faith for modern times. 🌿 npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Thomas asked for directions. Jesus gave him a person. "I am the way, the truth, and the life." One way — exclusive in that there is only one, but wide open to anyone who enters. The way is not a map. The way is Jesus himself. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Easter npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Jesus doesn't say “I am a gate” — he says “I am the gate”. One narrow way in, open wide to anyone who enters through it. The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy. The Shepherd laid down his life so the gate could open and brings abundant life. Enter by him, and find pasture. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Easter npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Two disciples walked away from Jerusalem — grieving, confused, hopes collapsed into past tense. Jesus drew near before they knew who he was, opened the Scriptures, broke the bread, and their eyes were opened. The road to Emmaus did not end in that village. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Easter npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Now that spring is here, the view out of my home office just keeps getting better. #GrowNostr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar On Easter morning, Mary came weeping in darkness—grieving and hopeless. The risen Jesus met her there, called her by name, and turned her tears into testimony: “I have seen the Lord.” He is calling your name too. Hear. Respond. #ChristIsKing #Biblesr #EasterSunday npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar A Good Friday sermon on John 18–19.

No flowers, no music, just a bare altar and silence. In this countercultural observance, the worst day in history is called “good”—the day divine love triumphed on the cross. #ChristIsKing #GoodFriday #Biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #HolyWeek npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #HolyWeek npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar #Biblestr #ChrisIsKing #HolyWeek npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar “Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord.

This changes everything. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Lent npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Thank you. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Thanks. I’m wondering if hosting my own site on the Start9 makes the whole device more apt to hacking. There is a lot of other data on there besides running a node. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar #memestr #grownostr #biblestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar 👋 Gm Evening, Nostriches! npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar 👊🏻 npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar GM npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Not new to Nostr, but new to Primal with a new npub.

Great episode. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Third Sunday in Lent: She came to the well alone. At noon. When no one would see her. Jesus was already waiting, knowing every chapter, every failure, every empty jar. He sees the full ledger of our lives and still he offers. That is what makes his grace so astonishing. He crosses every boundary to find those of us who have quietly stopped believing anyone would come for us. The living water is not for people who have cleaned themselves up. It is for anyone who has been coming to the same well for years, still thirsty, quietly hoping that this time might be different. Come to the well of living water. #ChristIsKing #Biblestr #Lent npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar #grownostr #biblestr #memestr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar The apostles, once scared and hiding after the crucifixion, spread across the Roman world proclaiming the risen Christ after the resurrection. Most faced brutal deaths: crucifixion, beheading, stoning, spearing, burning. They had nothing earthly to gain, everything to lose. They claimed to be eyewitnesses of the resurrection. Liars don’t endure torture and martyrdom without recanting. Their unwavering conviction is hard to explain without genuine belief in what they saw. #biblestr #christianity #grownostr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Indeed npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar GM, Nostriches. Enjoy the weekend. #Grownostr npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar Was a great episode. npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar GM npub1295qveafqae0pcde7l3t6heatnvhymten0lp70fapmkdkj3ltndsdaa0gd MountainVicar We all are made for God. That infinite longing in our heart isn’t a glitch—it’s a homing signal pointing back to Him. Every time we’ve tried to quiet it with something created instead of the Creator, we’ve ended up emptier and more restless. That’s certainly my experience. Only when we stop running and turn to Christ does the ache start to find its answer—not in fleeting highs, but in a deep, steady peace that survives the storms. #Biblestr #Christianity #Grownostr
