Happy New Year!
This week the preacher has choices. Do you focus on the New Year, the Second Sunday of Christmas, Epiphany (which is on Monday), or all of the above?
While we will be in Luke this year, the RCL starts with John this week…in the beginning. That’s a good place to begin the New Year! Blessings on your preaching and teaching this week.

These visuals compare and contrast the way Matthew, Mark, and Luke use Jesus’ journey from the Transfiguration to the Triumphal Entry to emphasize a particular aspect of his teaching.
This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for September 3, 2023. The RCL enters the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3:1-15. The Gospel is Matthew 16:21-28 where Jesus tells his disciples to take up their own crosses. The NL concludes a three week series on Sabbath by looking at the rest found in forgiveness and reconciliation in Deuteronomy 15:1-2. It pairs this with Luke 15:11-32 and the parable of the Prodigal Son.
