The Revised Common Lectionary launches a two-month series on the letter to the Ephesians this Sunday. I took this opportunity to pull my illustration of Ephesians out of moth balls and give it a little update. Enjoy!
The readings for the Revised Common Lectionary for July 14 take us to a wide variety of texts. In 2 Samuel we see David returning the ark of the covenant in a parade of worship. We begin a series on the letter to the Ephesians (stay tuned for my video on that later this week). The Gospel reading tells the story of how Herod executed John the Baptist in order to save face during a drunken party.
