b'We are on part 6 of our series on Matthew and here is where Jesus finally goes to Jerusalem! But first we get the Transfiguration, a bunch of familiar sayings, and questions from Pharisees. We have healing stories, references to children, temple tax, and some harsh words from Jesus. For the Disciples to say at that time that \\u2018I want to be at the side of Jesus,\\u2019 means in Rome that \\u2018you are going to be executed by the state.\\u2019 We look at what it means in the modern world to \\u2018follow Jesus,\\u2019 how we need to decide our level of commitment, practice doing small things to push back and resist empire, so that when it comes time to confront oppression and harm, we are ready.\\xa0\\n \\nDigging the Details\\nTricky Questions About Sex\\nClobbering the Clobber Passages\\nRabbi Danya Ruttenberg On Repentance and Repair Ep. 435\\nJewish annotated New Testament Edited by Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Zvi Brettler\\nIn the Margins: A Transgender Man\\u2019s Journey with Scripture by: Fr.
