Third Sunday of Easter – Acts 2: 14, 36-42; Luke 24:13-35; The Way Becomes Clear by Walking – St. Catherine of Sienna said, “All the way to heaven is heaven.” Wherever we are on life’s journey today, as we share again this familiar story, may we hear God’s Spirit speak and guide us a little closer to…
Second Sunday of Easter – Genesis 1:20-31; Ezekiel 37:1-10; Down to the River to Pray – Roland Emmerich tells a scary story about climate change in his 2004 movie, The Day After Tomorrow. This is the sort of movie that plays on TV while you are folding laundry on Saturday afternoon. The movie is an apocalyptic drama…
Easter Sunday – John 20:1-18; Acts 10:34-43; Face to Face with Resurrection – We experience resurrection through face to face relations. I sat here in the chancel after worship this past Thursday and Friday. I wanted to greet people with the peace of Christ as usual when we leave. But those nights ended in subdued silence.…
Sixth Sunday in Lent Matthew 21:1-11; Philippians 2:1-11 Participating in the Parade – I saw a sort of parade in our nation’s Jerusalem. On my way to a church conference about this time last year, I borrowed a car from a friend in D.C. I flew to Baltimore and arrived by train at Union Station with a little extra time. So I headed toward the Capitol, about to cross Constitution Avenue … helicopters arrived overhead and sirens blared down the hill toward the Washington Monument and the White House.
Fifth Sunday in Lent; Daniel 9:3-10; Mark 1:9-15 – How we are doing in this holy season of Lent, now that we’re more than half way through? Perhaps not a bad time to pause and ask ourselves, “How’s it going?”, it being the spiritual and moral spring cleaning appropriate to the season.
Fourth Sunday in Lent; 1 Samuel 16:1-13; John 9:1-41 – We try to see what God sees and wants for our world. In Lent we try to focus the eyes of our hearts even more. In this story, Jesus heals a man who’s physically blind. And like all of the gospels, it’s really about Jesus, how people see him. Through John’s literary development and theological revelation, notice where Jesus is or not in the story, and when the man who is healed actually sees him.
Third Sunday in Lent; Exodus 17:1-7; John 4:5-42 – Hebrews on Exodus through the desert, Jesus and the woman at the well … they seek H2O. And these stories are really about the Holy One without whom we cannot live. What truly nourishes us for a good life and a strong faith? What makes our hearts thirsty for God, for a libation of love, a gulp of grace?

First Sunday in Lent; Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7; Matthew 4:1-11 – The Bible tells stories of vulnerable people in difficult circumstances, and sometimes particularly blessed and powerful situations; decisions they face and make; ugliness they uncover or beauties they discover. Hear what the Spirit may say.
Exodus 24:12-18; Matthew 17:1-9
