RCL Reflection for Sept. 1, 2019
Maybe it’s time to take a holy pause like the folks at the Pharisee’s Sabbath dinner, and ponder Jesus’ teaching. How can we turn fear to love? How can we see beyond the limits of our own contexts to reach those who have not been seated at the table, those who want the opportunity to live a decent life? What will it look like for us to practice radical hospitality? (Photo: JESUS MAFA, Creative Commons)
Lectionary Reflection for the 15th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C, August 28, 2016
This week’s lessons provide several lovely opportunities to explore continued growth and development as members of the Body of Christ, that beloved community chock full of sinners and saints known as the church. Dig back into discipleship and faith formation with these themes and instructions. (Photo: Maarten Takens, Creative Commons)
Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost Lectionary Reflection, Year C
September 1, 2013
Showing up, sitting down, and sharing our abundant blessings is the kind of banquet Jesus is talking about. Every place is a place of honor in God’s economy, and the “grace list” includes all of us. That’s good news indeed! (Photo: Elin B., Creative Commons)
