COME SHARE THE LOVE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
You Are Invited
I am Bishop Todd Bell and along with the community of Saint Matthias, I wish to welcome you and share the love of our Lord Jesus Christ with all we come in contact with. Spreading the Good News of salvation and anxiously awaiting His coming in glory!
The Community of Saint Matthias is committed to an inclusive approach, void of barriers between God and His people. Christ ministered to those in need, rather than those who were in “good standing” under the “law”. Christ more often than not was found in the company of the “untouchables”, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind and ministering to forbidden people such as the Samaritan woman.
The Church must minister to people through love and kindness; not fear and heavy handedness. We seek to do this through equality, justice and truth. This is done through strengthening with an understanding of God’s Holy Scriptures, renewal within the Holy Eucharist and an openness to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to and through His people.

“Deliver Me, Why”![]()
![]()
Typically, when we want delivered, it is because we want to save our own skin. “I want out of whatever I have gotten myself into,” and honestly, I would like to get out without any injury or harm. This is not deliverance; this is a momentary respite or reprieve. To be delivered is to be free from all that has a hold on you, and in that freedom, what will we do? Today’s Psalm gives an answer to why we are delivered. The Psalmist proclaims, “For the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver me”. Our lives have been delivered so that His name may be glorified.![]()

“From Least To Greatest”![]()
![]()
The readings for today continue to build up the Body of Christ. All too often we see ourselves as insignificant in the grand scheme of things. God does not see us this way; rather, He sees us with the utmost importance. The Gospel reading from today is the parable of the mustard seed. In this parable, we are shown that God can and will use the least to accomplish the greatest of His blessings. What is God wanting to use you to accomplish? Are you ready to see your little seed grow up to a wonderful and enormous purpose? God has far bigger plans for you than you can imagine, if you will just allow Him to be made manifest in your life.![]()

Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds.![]()
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed![]()
that a person took and sowed in a field.![]()
It is the smallest of all the seeds,![]()
yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.![]()
It becomes a large bush,![]()
and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.’”![]()
![]()
He spoke to them another parable.![]()
“The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast![]()
that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour![]()
until the whole batch was leavened.”![]()
![]()
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.![]()
He spoke to them only in parables,![]()
to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:![]()
![]()
I will open my mouth in parables,![]()
I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation![]()
of the world.
“You Are Treasured”![]()
![]()
One of the greatest struggles we have in our humanity is finding value within ourselves. We often see value in others, but what about my own value? Do I find my value in what others say about me? Do I find my value in what my parents see in me? Do I find my value in how I see myself? Or, do I see my value through the eyes of the Lord? In today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus speaking about the value of the Kingdom of Heaven, and in doing so, we are called to see our own value. Jesus has called us His own, which means that we are part of the Kingdom of Heaven. We do not have to purchase our place in this Kingdom because He has purchased it for us. Our value is of unsurpassed worth because of what Jesus has done for us. Let us treasure the one who has placed such a high value on us, and may we learn to see our own value through His eyes.![]()

Jesus said to his disciples:![]()
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,![]()
which a person finds and hides again,![]()
and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.![]()
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant![]()
searching for fine pearls.![]()
When he finds a pearl of great price,![]()
he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
