RCL Reflection, 2nd Sunday in Lent, March 17, 2019
We are disciples of the One who never gives up—on anyone or anything in all creation. While we wait for the fulfillment of promise and renewal of all things, we do not give up. We persevere with Jesus, who holds us in the divine arms of mercy and love. Yes, what good news we dare to believe and have to share! (Photo: Art in the Christian Tradition, Creative Commons)
Waiting Game?
Lectionary Reflection for the Second Sunday in Lent, Year C, February 21, 2016
This week’s lectionary lessons have a common thread of waiting that weaves them together. And we Americans do a LOT of waiting (some 37 billion hours per year), yet we find it difficult to wait for God. (Photo: Andy Wright, Creative Commons)
Jesus in Pieces?
Lectionary Reflection for the Third Sunday after Epiphany, Year A
January 26, 2014
Leading and serving the people of God can be tough sledding; just ask Paul. This week’s gospel and epistle lessons offer important words for leaders AND for the people they lead. Blessings on the work you do and on the communities you serve! (Photo: Steve Snodgrass)
Fear, Faith, & Where We Belong
Second Sunday in Lent Lectionary Reflection, February 24, 2013
We live in fearful and uncertain times. Yet we need not fear because as Paul reminds us, “Our citizenship is in heaven…” We live by faith. Maybe that’s a message folks need to hear today. (Photo by J. Aaron Farr. Thanks!)
