December 3, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 6 Comments

children's sermon on Luke 3:1-6

Preface for Pastors and Parents For the second Sunday of Advent in Year C of the lectionary, I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 3:1-6. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this passage through this link.) In these lectionary readings we’re still nowhere near Bethlehem. The challenge is explaining to kids why […]

children's sermon on Luke 21:25-36

CC by Liesel-SA 3.0 unported For the first Sunday of Advent, I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 21:25-36. (If you are looking for my regular “Monday Meditation” on this passage, you can find it through this link.) The folks who put together the Revised Common Lectionary were not thinking about the preachers of […]

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, The Reign of Christ/Proper 29(34), Luke 23:33-43

Luke 23:33-43

This is the last Sunday in the Western Church year — the celebration of “The Reign of Christ” or, as we used to call it, “Christ the King.” Thus ends our hopscotch sojourn through Luke. It’s been fun. I’ll be back with Monday Meditations Mostly on Matthew in the wink of an eye. Luke 23:33-43 […]

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 23rd Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 28(33), Luke 21:5-19

November 14, 2019 by Gary Neal Hansen 5 Comments

Sunday’s Gospel reading from the Revised Common Lectionary jumps one step forward in Luke to chapter 21. We haven’t been there since the first Sunday of Advent. Almost the whole chapter is apocalyptic stuff. You know: “The End is Near!” — maybe. This week’s text, Luke 21:5-19, is the start of Jesus’ discourse on the coming […]

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 22nd Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 27(32), Luke 20:27-38

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. They tell him a story of a woman forced to marry each of seven brothers, one by one. (Hopefully she got to start with the oldest.) I’ve always found […]
