RCL Reflection, Pentecost Sunday, Year B, May 20, 2018
We are all works in progress, and the Holy Spirit is constantly at work in, with, through, and in spite of us. The Spirit never leaves us, but she sure can shake things up. Get ready for a little chaos my friends, because God’s Spirit is restless and on the loose, both interceding for us and working to usher in Christ’s reign. (Photo: Jacob Spinks, Creative Commons)
Day of Pentecost Lectionary Reflection, May 27, 2012
What languages are spoken in your community of faith? Most importantly, is the language of love infused in every song, every sermon, every handshake and hug? Is love woven into the fibers of ministry and the mission of all disciples? Is love the last word in all you say and do in the name of Jesus?

Lectionary Reflection for the Baptism of our Lord
January 8, 2012
Mark’s gospel propels us like carnival bumper cars into a holy collision of water, Word, and Spirit. Are you ready? This is no Sunday for “nicey-nice” tame imagery in the presence of the Creator who brought life from chaos and salvation from sin. (Photo by Paul Holloway used under Creative Commons License.

When Hurricane Irene knocked out power on a Sunday morning we had to cancel worship. But is the electric company the real source of our power for worship? Of course not, but many churches hold services even though they seem “off the grid” of the Holy Spirit. (Rob Blezard photo.)
