One of my seminarians is preaching. And I am glad. I am very glad, indeed.Today's gospel is a real pip.
Indeed, all of the lessons are not the easiest to preach.
And, the Stewardship Packets are being distributed today. YIKES!
In the Revised Common Lectionary, the lessons are:
Track I: I Samuel 1:4-20, I Samuel 2:1-10
Track II: Daniel 12:1-3, Psalm 16
Hebrews 10:11-14, [15-18], 19-25, Mark 13:1-8
Were I to preach, I fear most of you would find yourself in the lower third of the cartoon above.
I hope to post Megan's sermon later on today, but for those of you who would like to read what MadPriest has to say, head on over to his blog for a most excellent treat.
Look for "Freedom Is A Heady Wine."
And, thanks MadPriest
(I'm trying to persuade him to swap pulpits with me sometime in the near future. I'm hoping that the old saying is true: "Flattering will get you everything." Pray, sisters and brothers, that this works. I don't think he'd fancy the alternative approaches.)
