My children’s sermon on Mark 10:35-45 has taken longer than I’d intended. It’s a complicated week. The good news is that this week’s lectionary Gospel is one coherent story with some funny bits. (You can find my ‘Monday Meditation’ on the same passage here.) At least they are funny to me. You never know with the […]
A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:17-31
Writing this children’s sermon on Mark 10:17-31 was really interesting. Unlike so many lectionary selections, it hangs together as an exploration of a single theme. The challenge is that the theme is pretty grown up. (You can see what I wrote about it for grown-ups in my Monday Meditation on this text here.) I don’t […]

(You can see my regular Monday Meditation on this passage, which is mostly on the divorce stuff, by clicking here.) I’m skipping Jesus’ public conversation with […]

That’s the Gospel assigned for “Proper 20 (25)” in “Year B” of the Revised Common Lectionary. (You can find my regular meditation on the same text here.) It’s a pretty straightforward story to work with. Yeah, you’ve […]
