2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12
Proper 26C
[…] of the persecution of God’s dearly beloved people for their Christian faith runs through 2 Thessalonians 1’s apparently disparate elements. Each of verses’ 3-12 major sections ( thanksgiving, suffering, judgment and perseverance) are at least informed by that persecution. Yet that theme may make this Sunday’s Epistolary Lesson’s proclaimers and hearers feel even more […]
Psalm 111
Proper 23C
[…] of herbs and water where love is than a rich feast where there is hatred.” Just watch your surly Uncle Lloyd ignite a political debate at the Thanksgiving Day dinner table and you will quickly conclude that delicious though Grandma’s turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes are, you wish you had just swung through the […]
Lamentations 1:1-6
Proper 22C
[…] a true Jew can never be is to be without God. So long as God is in the picture, lament can happen, and so can praise and thanksgiving and lots of other things but the point is that it is not the person without God who laments but the person who is with God […]
Psalm 22:19-28
Proper 7C
[…] you can see here. Although she gave this talk after a return to health, she cannot talk of her experience even then without her cheeks getting very wet from the tears she shed. Something about that combination of sorrow in the midst of thanksgiving seems to fit Psalm 22 and a lot of our lives.
Psalm 97
Easter 7C
[…] vice-versa: 150 prayers of lament would provide nothing for seasons of great joy. And so forth and so on in terms of prayers of confession, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers of an imprecatory nature, etc. Where on the spectrum of life would something like Psalm 97 fit? Well, I guess one would have to conclude […]
Joshua 5:9-12
Lent 4C
[…] The time has come for the Israelites to start to remember who they are and Whose they are and so continue to beam their heartfelt messages of thanksgiving to God alone. The question that hangs in the balance here is whether or not they will succeed in doing so. (Spoiler Alert: They do not.) […]
Luke 1:68-79
Advent 2C
[…] so eager to get to this month–indeed, the Christmas season keeps getting longer as retailers and even we ourselves begin decking things out for Christmas well before Thanksgiving even arrives. We can’t wait to jump into Luke 2 to see again that manger, that baby, those shepherds, and the angels dancing in the night […]
Hebrews 7:23-28
Proper 25B
[…] our promise. That’s one reason why some of the most faithful “prayers” that I know keep lists of prayer requests. They keep track of people’s requests for thanksgiving and intercession, not only so that they can remember for whom they’ve promised to pray, but also so that they can appropriately respond when God answers […]
Psalm 54
Proper 20B
[…] going back wavy again in a reverse of the flashback we imagined early and we arrive back at the picture of calm as the psalmist makes a thanksgiving offering to God even as he triumphantly declares the wonder of God’s deliverance. It seems that many psalms are structured like this. Sometimes laments and cries […]
