Whether you are following the Revised Common Lectionary or the Narrative Lectionary this week, our readings tackle powerful themes of stewardship, systemic failure, and divine deliverance:
Revised Common Lectionary (Proper 22): Jesus confronts the religious leaders through the parable of the wicked tenants in the vineyard, challenging those in authority to examine how they steward their positional power—calling us toward humility, justice, and fruitfulness.
