Called to Make Peace

By Leave a Comment

Narrative Lectionary Reflection for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, July 23, 2017
Peace. Sometimes it seems like such an elusive word, such a foreign concept–especially if you’ve been spending much time with social media or the news lately. We humans crave peace and need peace, but we’re not very good at making and keeping peace. Thankfully, our Lord IS in the peace business–proclaiming and passing and breathing peace into the darkest corners of this fallen and fragmented world of ours, and exhorting us to find peace both in rest and in trust in his abiding presence.

With Jesus, All Roads Lead to Hope

Narrative Lectionary Reflection for the Second Sunday of Easter, Year Three, April 23, 2017
The story of Cleopas and his friend on the Emmaus road from today’s gospel lesson speaks volumes to us and to our congregations today.

Good stewards adapt to change and keep their focus on the things that matter most: Telling the stories of faith, sharing the good news, and making disciples.

Are blinders preventing a clear vision for mission and ministry? What does it take to really see Jesus in these confusing and anxious times? (Photo: Edith Soto, Creative Commons)

Fishin’ for Folk

By Leave a Comment

Narrative Lectionary Reflection, Third Sunday after Epiphany, Year 3, January 22, 2017
Is responding to Jesus’ call to discipleship a stewardship issue? More specifically, does it make a difference how we respond to Jesus’ call? We’ve heard the “fish for people” lesson; it’s not a new story, and it still has meaning today.
