There’s hardly a need for an introductory word when I’m preparing a children’s sermon on Luke 18:1-8. Sometimes the lectionary pitches one right over the plate. Or maybe I should say the Gospel does. (Alas, I have no regular “Monday Meditation” to link to on this one.) Luke 18:1-8 is often called “the parable of […]

A children’s sermon on Luke 16:19-31, eh? Easy? Hard? Probably on the hard side. It’s a parable with a good story line, and that removes some challenges.
