RCL Reflection, 7th Sunday after Pentecost, Year B, July 8, 2018
We need to see prophets and prophetic voices as gifts among us as the messengers of God that they are. Even if you don’t feel that God is calling you to be a prophet, you may be called to speak a prophetic word or take action. Are you willing to steward your voice, hands, feet, and heart to do the hard, holy work to which God invites you? (Photo: zeevveez, Creative Commons)
Revised Common Lectionary for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 7), Year B, June 24, 2018
When you step into the pulpit or lead a group discussion this weekend, take heart. We can do this hard thing, my friends. We can see one another, hear one another, and love one another by the grace of God. Yes, we must speak the truth to power and to one another, we must not allow evil to go unchallenged, but we must do so in love and with compassion and kindness. Only by building relationships can we stand together, only by loving God and neighbor can we live grace-fully. (Photo: Anna Oh, Creative Commons)
Lectionary Reflection for the Fifth Sunday in Lent, March 25, 2012
The words of Jeremiah offer profound hope for Christians seeking to walk as disciples in this world. We are God’s people. God knows us and is deeply imprinted on our hearts. (Photo by fradaveccs used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!)
