(Later note: There’s a sort of mini children’s sermon on Matthew 3:13-17 near the end of this meditation. This one unintentionally kicked off the project, since I got some encouragement from a reader to do more!) On the Sunday after Epiphany the Western Church celebrates the Baptism of the Lord.

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 22nd Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 27(32), Luke 20:27-38
This Sunday the lectionary Gospel continues our hopping and skipping journey through the later chapters of Luke. It is an interaction between Jesus and the Sadducees.

And the lectionary does give us the whole thing. You just have to be patient. Every year, on the 7th Sunday […]
