Proper 9A
-
Scripture isn’t just a collection of things people are told to believe. They are narratives with characters and events for us to explore.
-
Jesus sounds off on the people who aren’t getting with the program. Is this like our own complaints, or is it something else?
-
The concept of expectations is fraught with dissatisfaction and frustration. Because we make life individualistic.
-
Figuring out what to preach this week is hard enough. But when Jesus goes off on a whole generation, we should take note.
-
Who do we take Jesus for? Messiah. Lord. Our titles speak to our relationship. But what do we expect for him?
-
Before we read this week about Jesus criticizing this current generation, we should figure out what he’s been up to.
