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 we prepare for the birth […]
A 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.

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.
