RCL Reflection for the First Sunday in Lent, Year A, March 1, 2020
May this Lent be more than just giving up, adding on, or choosing small, palatable sufferings for 40 days. Do the work of spiritual spring cleaning, of letting go of ego, quests for power, and insecure greed that leads to self-absorption. Real life is about so very much more. Seek and you will surely find answers, hope, and God. (Photo: Vox Efx, Creative Commons)
Stewarding and speaking truth in love
RCL Lectionary Reflection for the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year A, February 9, 2020
This weeks lessons invite us to speak a timely and prophetic word in love. Yes, it’s always risky to preach the gospel of Jesus, but it’s worth it! How will you begin or continue to move the faith community you serve toward greater unity and the fast that God chooses? (Photo: Cailie Frampton, Creative Commons)
Salt, Light, and the Fast God Chooses
Lectionary Reflection, 5th Sunday after Epiphany, Year A, Feb. 5, 2017
If we really want to spread the love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ, then we must quit being so stingy with it. We need to be lavish and prodigal in our sharing of that with which we have been so graciously entrusted. This is the fast God desires for us. (Photo: Amir Farshad Ebrahimi, Creative Commons)
