RCL Reflection for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 15, Year A. August 23, 2020
Jesus’ question, “But who do you say that I am” is perhaps the most important one we can answer as people of faith. You can help your worshiping community to ponder and answer this question, and in the process help them grow in faith and discipleship. (Photo: mi.a, Creative Commons)
Your Life: Both Offering and Sermon
RCL Reflection, 12th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, August 27, 2017
Each one of us is called to present ourselves to God. Our lives are an offering, a witness, a confession–a 24/7 sermon. We are stewards of the gospel, called to live it, breathe it, and to embody it. God gave everything for you; in return God wants all of you. God doesn’t require 10% or 25% or 80% of you, God desires 100%, or every fiber of your being, every hour of your day, every laugh, smile, and tear. (Photo: Sharon Pruitt, Creative Commons. Thanks!)
