Jesus takes Peter, James, and John to the top of a mountain where they witness him be transfigured before there eyes. He stands with Moses and Elijah and the voice of God says, “This is my son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” Why did Matthew include this story at this point in his narrative?
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 walk through the visuals on A Cartoonist’s Guide to the Bible and we discuss ideas for how to teach and preach the text.

This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for February 19, 2023.

The Revised Common Lectionary focuses on Matthew 17:1-9 and the Narrative Lectionary zooms out to Matthew 16:24-17:8.

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.
