[RCL] Isaiah 5:1-7; Psalm 80:1-2, 8-18; Hebrews 11:29-12:2; Luke 12:49-56 “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?” Jesus asks and then answers, “No, I tell you, but rather division!” The cost of following Jesus comes into focus as Jesus, the Prince of Peace, says, “From now on five in…
[RCL] Isaiah 1:1, 10-20; Psalm 50:1-8, 23-24; Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16; Luke 12:32-40 By faith… by faith… by faith… These words pulse through today’s epistle like a heartbeat, lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub. (It also works in Greek, the language the letter was originally written in—a single, two-syllable word we translate “by faith.” It sounds like pist-ay). “By faith our ancestors…
[RCL] Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99 or 99:5-9; 2 Peter 1:13-21; Luke 9:28-36 [God] spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered them indeed (Psalm 99). Amen. The setting of today’s reading from Luke, the Transfiguration, is visually balanced, the…
LCR: Génesis 18:20–32; Salmo 138; Colosenses 2:6–15, (16-19); San Lucas 11:1–13 ¡Cuántas veces nos hemos sentido agradecidos porque, como proclama el salmo leído hoy, cuando clamamos a Dios él nos escucha, fortalece nuestro ánimo y asumimos con certeza que somos obras de sus manos y nunca nos abandona! Por eso, junto al salmista, le damos…
LCR: Génesis 18:1–10a; Salmo 15; Colosenses 1:15–28; San Lucas 10:38–42. En su libro “Residentes extranjeros”, Stanley Hauerwas y William Willimon cuentan que una vez un sacerdote ya retirado, recibió una invitación para celebrar en una de las iglesias donde había trabajado hacía unos veinte años. Para él fue algo extraño recibir esta invitación ya que…
[RCL] Hosea 11:1-11; Psalm 107:1-9, 43; Colossians 3:1-11; Luke 12:13-21 Obituaries are about the life, not the death. The death is the occasion, but it’s usually reported in just one sentence, maybe with a detail—a disease, a condition, a struggle, an accident – and an age. We appraise: so young; a long life; so sudden;…
[RCL] Hosea 1:2-10; Psalm 85; Colossians 2:6-15, (16-19); Luke 11:1-13 In the face of devastating events and in our polarized political climate, “prayer” has become code for: “I don’t know what else to say.” Or, “I want to say something neutral and inoffensive,” or, “I don’t want to take action.” So often politicians, leaders, even…
LCR: Deuteronomio 30:9–14; Salmo 25:1–9 LOC; Colosenses 1:1–14; San Lucas 10:25–37. Nos congregamos de nuevo este Domingo para dar gracias a Dios por tantos dones y bendiciones que derrama continuamente sobre nosotros; para encontrarnos con los hermanos y hermanas que profesamos la fe y que estamos sedientos y ansiosos de alimentarnos con la Palabra que cada…
[RCL] Amos 8:1-12; Psalm 52; Colossians 1:15-28; Luke 10:38-42 Here’s a trick question: Are you a Mary or a Martha? If you have ever spent time hearing interpretations of today’s gospel passage, you probably understand the dichotomy implicit in the question. Martha, we often say, is the “active” one, rushing around, busying herself with the…
[RCL] Amos 7:7-17; Psalm 82; Colossians 1:1-14; Luke 10:25-37 Flashing through the Bible and beyond is a lightning bolt known as prophetic ministry. What prophetic ministry does, according to Bible scholar Walter Brueggemann, is generate “a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception of the dominant culture around us.” This is not a…
