This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary for July 2, 2023. The RCL take us to the story of Abraham when God tells him to sacrifice his son Isaac in Genesis 22, Paul’s declaration that we are set free from sin in Romans 6, and the final section Jesus’ sending of the twelve on a mission in Matthew 10. It is also Independence Day weekend in the USA, so it is appropriate to explore a theme of being set free. The NL continues a three-part series on 2 Peter.
