Revised Common Lectionary: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Psalm 8; John 16:12-15; Romans 5:1-5
In the Wisdom Literature of the Bible, Wisdom is given a feminine voice, referred to with feminine pronouns, and is seen as part of God, a partner in creation, especially the creation of humanity. It is a voice that we often do not [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Genesis 11:1-9 (or Acts 2:1-21); Psalm 104:24-34, 35b; John 14:8-17, 25-27; Acts 2:1-21 or Romans 8:14-17
We have reached the day of Pentecost! Pentecost for 50 marks the 50 days (7 weeks) after Easter, but it also marks the spring harvest festival in the Jewish tradition. It has become the celebration of [...]
Here’s a link to last year’s Mother’s Day resources. One thing I think is important to keep in mind this Sunday are those
–whose mothers were abusive
–whose mothers were absent
–whose mothers have passed on
–who are unable to have children, or have gone through pregnancy loss or [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Acts 1:1-11 or 16:16-34; Psalm 47 or 93 or 97; Luke 24:44-53 or John 17:20-26; Ephesians 1:15-23 or Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21
Acts 1:1-11 is Luke’s second account of the ascension (the first account is one of the Gospel selections today in Luke 24). Luke is the only Gospel writer who includes [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Acts 16:9-15; Psalm 67; John 5:1-9 or John 14:23-29; Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5
Acts 16:9-15 contains the story of Lydia, one of the “God-fearers,” or Greeks who had come to believe in the One God and were influenced by Jewish teachings, but were gathering separately. The writer says they came upon a place [...]
Normally I would have had these resources out early, but Earth Day crept up on me. In light of the bombings in Boston and now the tragedy unfolding in West, Texas, I am moving commemoration of Earth Day to April 28th. It also seems to fit the lectionary well with the Revelation passage (21:1-6). However, [...]
(Based upon Psalm 23, which is part of the Revised Common Lectionary readings for this Sunday)
Shepherding God, You are the one who leads us into life. In the wake of the terrible acts of cruelty and horror in Boston, lead us away from fear and revenge and instead to the still waters and green [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Acts 9:36-43; Psalm 23: John 10:22-30; Revelation 7:9-17
In Acts, as we read of the early church, we have this wonderful story of Dorcas, also known as Tabitha, who dies and is resurrected. But more importantly, she is called a disciple of Jesus. It is clear through Luke-Acts that women did have [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Acts 9:1-20; Psalm 30; John 21:1-19; Revelation 5:11-14
Acts 9 contains Luke’s account of the conversion of Saul (but you might compare the accounts with Acts 22:1-21 and 26:2-23, where some of the details get changed, and with Paul’s own mention of his conversion in Galatians 1). As we celebrate the Resurrection, [...]
Revised Common Lectionary: Acts 5:27-32, Psalm 118:14-29 or Psalm 150; John 20:19-31; Revelation 1:4-8
During the Easter season, the lectionary uses passages from Acts to celebrate the Resurrection and the proclamation of Jesus as the Risen Lord. Acts 5:27-32 contains Peter and the other apostles’ testimony that God is the one who raised up [...]
