RCL: Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Psalm 90:1-6, 13-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8; Matthew 22:34-46 Deuteronomy 34:1-12 Moses’ story ends with God showing him the Promised Lan,d even though Moses would “not cross over there.” The statement is traditionally considered a reminder of the punishment at the Waters of Meribah (cf.

RCL: Exodus 32:1-14; Psalm 106:1-6, 19-23; Philippians 4:1-9; Matthew 22:1-14 Exodus 32:1-14 The Golden Calf account is one of those stories that anyone familiar with the Bible knows – or at least, claims to know!

[RCL] Deuteronomy 34:1-12; Psalm 90:1-6, 13-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8; Matthew 22:34-46 If you are a game show enthusiast and super competitive, there may be great appreciation in your life for programs like “Jeopardy” and “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” Both of these shows pride themselves on asking very challenging questions and they are designed…
Deuteronomy 34:1-12 Our text from Deuteronomy marks the end of Moses’ corporeal participation in the lives of the ancient Israelites. He spent much of his life being faithful to God’s call, even over his own self-doubts and insecurities. He shepherded the ancient Israelites during their time in the wilderness, acting as God’s emissary, even when…

An authority on the Law of Moses gives Jesus a pop quiz: name the greatest commandment. The request is not to name the top commandment of the Ten Commandments. Specifically, Jesus is to consider the 613 commandments found in the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah, or The Teaching, and to…

Deuteronomy 34:1-12 This passage finds us at the end of the story of Moses and marks the end of the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Torah. It comes at the end of the book of Deuteronomy, often referred to as the Second Law. Moses sees the Promised Land from the top of…
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Thus begins the last of Jesus’ interrogations by the religious authorities in Matthew’s Holy Week narrative.
