This video is an excerpt from our weekly Bible Study on A Cartoonist’s Bible Network. Every Monday at 4:00pm Central Time members of the network gather on Zoom to discuss the text for that week from both the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary.

I will be in Guatemala from January 29 – February 11, 2023. Please pray for me and for the pastors I’ll be working with on the trip.
This post offers visual resources for the texts in the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for Sunday, January 29, 2022. This week the RCL takes us to the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 and 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. Both texts proclaim the foolishness of the Good News that Jesus offers the world. The Narrative Lectionary takes us to the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, where we have the foolish notion that the creator of the universe actually cares about us and wants to listen.
