RCL Reflection for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost Year A, August 9, 2020
Learning to be a disciple of Jesus is like learning to swim. It doesn’t come naturallyLike Peter, we must “swim” as Christians, entering fully into the chaos and beauty and brokenness of our world. We must keep our eyes upon the Christ and trust the wisdom and accompaniment of the Holy Spirit. (Photo: Jon Connell, Creative Commons)
Stay in the Boat, Steward!
RCL Reflection for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, August 13, 2017
God’s faithful and generous people recognize that good stewardship is possible only when we keep our eyes on Jesus, trusting him to guide and direct us through life’s storms and trials. It may be better to stay in the boat than to try to walk on water. We can leave THAT to Jesus! (Photo: Foto Guy 49057, Creative Commons)
A Crumby Gospel
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A, August 17, 2014
Chances are that this week folks in your faith community will be reeling and/or numb from world events. Add to that the usual list of prayer needs and human brokenness and pain. So hand out this crumby gospel, these crumbs of abundant love, grace, and salvation, and don’t be stingy.(Photo: Simon James, Creative Commons)
