Text: Luke 8:41-56 (CEB) - From the Perspective of the Disciples

A man named Jairus, who was a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his house because his only daughter, a twelve-year-old, was dying. You can read this sermon by clicking here! You can listen to this sermon here!

Text: Luke 8:41-56 (CEB) - From the Perspective of the Bleeding Woman

We do not know much about the bleeding woman, but we know she is desperate. We also know she is immediately healed when she touches Jesus' clothing because God's grace is indiscriminate. In this sermon, we consider the vastness of God's grace for all people. You can read this sermon by clicking here!

Text: Luke 8:41-56 (CEB) - From the Perspective of Jairus

As Jesus accompanies Jairus to heal his sick daughter, they are delayed. In this sermon, we reflect on how Jairus reacts (or doesn't react) to this delay, and what Jairus can teach us about grace. You can read this sermon by clicking here!

Ordinary Time (Proper 9) - "Perspectives" Series

Text: Luke 10:1-11 (CEB) - From the Disciples' Perspective

At the beginning of Luke 10, Jesus commissions 72 disciples to travel in pairs and preach that God's Kingdom has come. They must bring nothing with them and they must rely on the hospitality of strangers. Jesus also warns the disciples that they are being sent out as lambs among wolves - in short, this commission is not for the faint of heart. But the disciples can also find peace from the message they are sent to give: in spite of their eloquence, qualifications, or lack thereof, God's Kingdom has come!

Ordinary Time (Proper 10) - "Perspectives" Series

Text: Luke 10:1-11 (CEB) - From the Perspective of Those who Welcome the Disciples

This week, we look at the commissioning of the 72 from the perspective of the people who welcome the disciples and receive their message that God's Kingdom has come. There is a difference between hearing a word and receiving a word - and receiving a word requires action. What does receiving God's message require of us?

Ordinary Time (Proper 11) - "Perspectives" Series

Text: Luke 10:1-11 (CEB) - From the Perspective of Those who do not Welcome the Disciples

This week, we look at the commissioning of the 72 from the perspective of the people who do not welcome the disciples and do not receive their message that God's Kingdom has come. We ask ourselves, "What kind of person comes to mind when I think of someone who does not receive God's word? What do they look like and what is their personality like?" Then we look at the context of this passage and why someone may choose to reject God's word - because more often than not, it is not for the reasons we may think!

Ordinary Time (Proper 12) - "Perspectives" Series

Text: Luke 10:25-37 (CEB) - From the Samaritan's Perspective

This week, we look at the story of the Good Samaritan. Because we have grown up hearing the phrase "good Samaritan" as a way to praise someone for being helpful or doing good deeds, we do not get the weight of Jesus making the Samaritan the hero of this story - so we take some time to sub in the people we may despise to understand the weight of this, and to attempt to disarm some of the labels we have learned to put on each other.
