It’s Transfiguration Sunday this week, so here’s my children’s sermon on Luke 9:28-36. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this passage here.) The lectionary makes the next section of the chapter an optional extended version of the reading. I’m opting not to include it. Since it’s Transfiguration Sunday, the first part is crucial. […]
A Children’s Sermon on Luke 6:27-38
Here’s my children’s sermon on Luke 6:27-38 for the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany. (You can see my regular “Monday Meditation” on this text here.)

As I noted a week ago, this odd division by the lectioneers (is that what you call people who make a lectionary?) gives us […]
