Come On, Holy SPirit: deep cuts from the rcl

Because Epiphany was extra-long this year, and because Katie will be gone for a couple of Sundays near the end of the season, and because we read a whole bunch of Luke’s early chapters early in the year, we’re doing a short series where the preacher gets to choose from the Revised Common Lectionary readings for the day – just not from Luke.

Jeremiah 1:4-10. Psalm 71:1-6.

“We who must die demand a miracle,” said W.H. Auden. The extension of God’s universal sovereignty to the matter of my own individual life is a hard stretch for many, but bedrock for our faith. Else, is this all there is? 1 Corinthians 15:1-20. Psalm 138.

The faithful are “like trees planted by the water,” say both these poets. What is our water? Where are we planted? Do we get to choose that? What difference does it make? Jeremiah 17:5-10. Psalm 1.

This week’s theme: ‘How We Exegete Our Own Lives: Questions of Theodicy.’ In other words, what do we make of it when bad things happen to us, who are good people, in spite of our trying so hard? Genesis 45:3-11, 15. Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40.
