Speaker: Guest Preacher

Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

Written by Faith2014 on .

When Amos reports his vision of God judging Israel for its mistreatment of the poor, he becomes a threat to the power of the priests and the king. John the Baptist also speaks truth to power, and Herod has him killed. In Herod’s fear that Jesus is John returned from the dead, we may hear hope for the oppressed: all the prophets killed through the ages are alive in Jesus. We are called to witness to justice in company with them, and to proclaim God’s saving love.

Accompanying Scripture:
Mark 6:14-29, Psalm 85:8-13, Amos 7:7-13

Fourth Sunday After Pentecost

Written by Faith2014 on .

The mustard seed becomes a great shrub that shelters the birds, recalling ancient images of the tree of life. We’d expect a cedar or a sequoia, but Jesus finds the power of God better imaged in a tiny, no-account seed. It’s not the way we expect divine activity to look. It may not appear all that impressive, but while nobody’s looking it grows with a power beyond our understanding.

Accompanying Scripture:
Mark 4:26-34, Psalm 92:1-4, 12-15, Ezekiel 17:22-24

Seventh Sunday of Easter

Written by Faith2014 on .

On this final Sunday of Easter, we hear this last piece of Jesus’s farewell to the disciples where Jesus moves from lecture to prayer. At a time when it would be understandable for Jesus to be worried about himself, he is thinking and praying for the disciples and for us. In prayer, Jesus asks that we are one. And this continues to be our prayer- not that we would all be the same but that we will continue to remember our common love in Christ and the call to love one another.

Accompanying Scripture:
Psalm 1, John 17

Fifth Sunday of Easter

Written by Faith2014 on .

This Sunday’s image of how the risen Christ shares his life with us is the image of the vine. Christ the vine and we the branches are alive in each other, in the mystery of mutual abiding described in the gospel. Baptism makes us a part of Christ’s living and life-giving self and makes us alive with Christ’s life. As the vine brings food to the branches, Christ feeds us at his table. We are sent out to bear fruit for the life of the world.

Accompanying Scripture:
Acts 8:26-40, John 15: 1-8

Third Sunday After Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

As we continue through the time after Epiphany, stories of the call to discipleship show us our collective calling to show Christ to the world. Jesus begins proclaiming the good news and calling people to repentance right after John the Baptist is arrested for preaching in a similar way. Knowing that John was later executed, we see at the very outset the cost of discipleship. Still, the two sets of brothers leave everything they have known and worked for all their lives to follow Jesus and fish for people.

Accompanying Scripture:
Jonah 3:1-5, 10; Mark 1:14-20

Did you RSVP?

Written by Faith2014 on .

In this week’s gospel, Jesus tells a parable of a royal wedding, where the king invites guests to his son’s wedding banquet, but they refuse to come. The king then extends the invitation to anyone on the streets, but one guest is found improperly dressed and is thrown out. Today we celebrate God’s wide welcome to all of us to the table and remember that we are called to do the same for others. 

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 25:1-9; Psalm 23; Matthew 22:1-14
