Everyday life, everyday recipe, jam tarts


Hosea 4:11-19
Psalms 101, 109:1-4, 20-30
Acts 21:15-26
Luke 5:27-39


Luke 5:27-39

Levi was sitting at his tax booth just doing his job, just as he did every working day. He was not looking for Jesus. He was not up a tree trying to see over the crowd nor was he standing with masses on the roadside trying to get a glimpse of Jesus. When Jesus passed by he stayed in his booth doing his job. Jesus was not relevant to his life.

Will I notice Jesus when he passes by? Will I respond when he calls?
