RCL Reflection, Pentecost Sunday, Year C, June 5, 2022
This Sunday we hear the story of the early disciples gathered in Jerusalem, and God’s kindling of Spirit fire in their lives. Don’t let people think it’s something God did only once, oh-so-long ago. God continues to ignite flames of faith and passion in our midst today. (Photo by Matthew Venn, used by Creative Commons license. Thanks!)

Jesus calls the church, as diverse as we Christians are, to be one. That’s quite a challenge in today’s highly polarized world, but what might happen if we take the mission seriously? Focusing on deep relationship and what we have in common through Jesus would be one way to start.

What does it mean to have vision? How is God speaking to you and to your faith community? Who is that “man from Macedonia” in your dreams? Who or what is calling you to faithful action and holy response?

Psalm 23 is probably the most beloved one in the Psalter, but seldom do we recognize, honor, and harness its power to guide our lives. Why not consider this powerful song of praise and promise this Sunday?

Doubt, belief, and life in the name of Christ have a lot in common. Sunday’s Gospel offers rich material to consider why it matters that we gather to tell the stories of faith and encounter Jesus. (Photo: Christine Matthews, Creative Commons)
RCL Reflection, Easter Sunday
April 17, 2022
Easter is an important day in the life of the church, but how does the rest of the world see it? As an “idle tale”? Maybe we all need to look at Easter through a new lens.
Palm/Passion Sunday Lectionary Reflection, April 10, 2022
This Sunday’s worship may be the only bridge some folks have to Easter. What can we do to help folks live this story all week long?
Fifth Sunday in Lent, Year C

Mary and Judas have wildly different approaches to stewarding valuable resources and and trusting in God’s good provision. Their contrasting viewpoints have much to teach us! Which character do you more closely relate to in this strange, short story?
RCL Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Lent, March 27, 2022.
The Bible makes it plain that there’s grace aplenty and a gracious plenty whenever God’s around. Why are we so miserly with all this abundance? This week’s lessons provide much food for thought.
