RCL Reflection, November 10, 2019
We follow a God of the living as Jesus says, “for to him all of them are alive.” Whenever we start playing the what if game we leave little room to listen for God’s call—on our individual lives and on our life together as church. We turn inward, fall prey to worry, and fail to see the presence of God among us in the very folks and situations about which we fret and fume. (Photo: a2gemma, Creative Commons)
Grappling with the Divine
Lectionary Reflection for the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, Year C, October 16, 2016
Like Jacob, are we willing to encounter God in our dark nights of the soul and hang on for dear life? Ultimately, are we able to submit to the blessing—named and claimed and never forsaken? (Photo: Michael Swan, Creative Commons)
