| August 5, 2007 - "Who Is Your Life?" - Luke 12.13-21 - 18th Ordinary - Rev. Jonathan E. Carroll - "The parable of the rich fool. The parable of the rich fool unplugged.
The parable without the commentary of Jesus. The parable without Luke’s
setting. The parable itself carved out of the scripture lesson just
read. Just the parable." |
| August 12, 2007 - "By Faith" - Hebrews 11 (selections) - 19th Ordinary - Rev. Jonathan E. Carroll, Th.M. - "Whether we are aware of it all the time or whether we’re aware of it at all, we are a part of a story, a narrative—the ever-unfolding, always-risky, consummately dangerous yet promising and life-giving story of God. It is God’s story, and it is ours." |
| August 19, 2007 - "There's a Wrecking Ball Outside" - Luke 12.49-56 - Rev. Jonathan E. Carroll, Th.M. - " In the reading from Luke we are confronted by stark and conflictual
sayings of Jesus that sit uncomfortably with our images of who God is,
or who we have made God to be. Some folk seem to prize a God with an
infinite capacity for empathy, a God who sits around quivering in the
hope of having a chance to please us, God’s children, a God who is
nice. Bumper stickers tell you that “Jesus loves you,” even if everyone
else thinks you’re an ogre…or worse. Luke puts the brakes on this kind
of thinking." |
