Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 10th Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 15(20), Luke 12:49-56

August 11, 2019 by Gary Neal Hansen 4 Comments

The lectionary skips a bit to give us Luke 12:49-56. Preachers who have taken a look are probably glad about that. The omitted part was Jesus discussion of the need to be the kind of servant who keeps watch for the master’s return. This time he weighed in on the scale of punishments for various […]

Luke 12:32-40

Illness makes my thoughts on this week’s lectionary Gospel rather late. Next week may be a week off for my Monday Meditations. Not sure how the next few days will pan out — but I’ll be back. Luke 12:32-40 This week’s Gospel has the appearance of answering a niggling question from last week. Maybe it […]

Luke 12:13-21

This Sunday’s lectionary Gospel (Luke 12:13-21) is mostly on one important theme: the question of where and how one should invest. No, it isn’t going to give you clarity about what to tell Charles Schwab what to do with your savings. It might make you question the value of monetary investments — though that isn’t […]

Luke 11:1-13

Starting long ago I posted on every line of the Lord’s Prayer. In fact I’ve done it a couple of times, first in writing on the questions and answers of the Heidelberg Catechism, and again in my “Letters to a Young Pastor” series. The posts are still there and you can find them by clicking […]

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 6th Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 11(16), Luke 10:38-42

Luke 10:38-42

The 6th Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 11(16) is the third week in a quick journey through Luke chapter 10. Luke 10:38-42 The lectionary Gospel is Luke 10:38-42, one of the stories where Jesus interacts with the people who seem to have been his closest friends outside of the twelve apostles. We see Jesus here with Martha […]
