The Lectionary... GO!: 05/10/2009 - 05/17/2009
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2009_05_10_archive.html
The Lectionary. GO! Monday, May 11, 2009. Judas turned aside to go to his own place. This line comes from the place in Acts where the disciples must decide on what to do with Judas' apostleship. He had obviously left following Christ. The disciples sought to maintain the original 12. One had to be appointed. One had to be left aside. We don't like to acknowledge sin. It is all around us but there can be this mental understanding that to acknowledge it would be to take it on. Links to this post.

The Lectionary... GO!: May 8th wedding
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2009/04/may-8th-wedding.html
The Lectionary. GO! Friday, April 24, 2009. I am working on two sermons at present. One for May 8th for a wedding and one for Good Shepherd on May 9th. I am attempting to stay on topic and flip flop my way to two decent sermons. Form A writes, which is not as strong in this unifying theme does state, "All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By Him, and with Him, and in Him.". So as two become one it will be into what one will that unity be maintained, enriched, made full? The rabbit pipes up, " I ...

The Lectionary... GO!: Intervention...choose Joshua 24
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2008/11/interventionchoose-joshua-24.html
The Lectionary. GO! Thursday, November 06, 2008. Intervention.choose Joshua 24. And where did the path lead? It led right to the most damning question that a preacher should wrestle with. why does any of this matter to the souls who show up on Sunday morning? The fact that life precedes it does not much make it easier to deal with. Easier to wonder what God might be about then live into the claim that it is God Himself who sustains our life and the other dramatic claim that if we are to live we must ...

The Lectionary... GO!: Luke 12:49 -
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2007/08/luke-1249.html
The Lectionary. GO! Saturday, August 18, 2007. Many of my friends are preaching tomorrow on Luke 12:49, if you are unfamiliar with this text, read it below . a challenging text to say the least! I am not preaching, but I am reading the Gospel as the deacon of the service, and I have not done a full job of reflecting on and wrestling with, and exegeting this text. That said, my reaction to this text is that: Jesus means business! Posted by Peter Carey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Lectionary... GO!: Mothers day service
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2009/04/mothers-day-service.html
The Lectionary. GO! Thursday, April 23, 2009. I wonder.I am thinking aloud about a possibility for an upcoming church service. this is intentionally a children's service for us. That means for me that we will be seeking to have the message be appropriate for children. The day's Gospel speaks of Jesus as the vine and ourselves as the branches. I wonder if we could make this visual? We could even decorate the doors leading into the sanctuary with vines, leaves, and grapes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Lectionary. GO! Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Next time- Oblations boil down to trust- God acts first giving himself to us (coming to church receiving- true wholeness will be denied until we begin to move from receptivity to sharing).

The Lectionary... GO!: My House!
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-house.html
The Lectionary. GO! Thursday, October 30, 2008. You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD, to serve him.". Followed by that oft quoted line that hangs in so many Christian houses, "Me and my house serve the Lord.". They think that God is driving the lane with them. then Joshua reverses the scene.

http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2009/08/so-jesus-asked-twelve-do-you-also-wish.html
The Lectionary. GO! Monday, August 17, 2009. So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away? Granted, most of my perception about faith and Christ has been wrong before. I also don't doubt that God does love everybody and seeks all to come to Him. In today's Gospel Jesus lays it on the line for the twelve. he asks, "Do you also wish to go away? The New American Bible poses the question this way, "Do you also want to leave? Posted by The Rev. Scott Petersen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Lectionary... GO!: Locked in and Locked out
http://lectionarydiscussion.blogspot.com/2007/08/locked-in-and-locked-out.html
The Lectionary. GO! Wednesday, August 22, 2007. Locked in and Locked out. And thus we get to the gospel. We come to a gospel reading that is so incredibly filled with irony. The pharisee's are watching Jesus closely. They have yet to really figure out who this man is. He speaks with a familiarity about God that they find troubling. He speaks with authority to them. They who are the authority themselves. Posted by The Rev. Scott Petersen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Locked in and Locked out.
