CC by Ted-SA 2.0 The lectionary Gospel for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost in Year A (Matthew 14:22-33) picks up right where the previous week’s text left off. It is a text with several fascinating moments, each worth some meditation, concluding with the seriously fascinating story of Peter walking on the water. Last week, Jesus […]
Parables of the Kingdom –Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52
Yeast. CC by www.yourbestdigs.com/reviews/best-bread-machine/ 2.0 On the 8th Sunday after Pentecost in Year A the lectionary Gospel is our third chunk of Matthew 13 — Parables of the Kingdom.

Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, 6th Sunday After Pentecost, Proper 10 (15) — Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
In Year A, the Revised Common Lectionary skips Matthew 12 entirely, then takes a three week journey through Matthew 13, starting here with Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23. It’s one of my favorite parables: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 is the parable of the sower. Or the parable of the soils. You decide. (You can find my children’s sermon […]
