A Plain Sermon?
Gate Pa – Year C 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time,
Readings:
Psalm Psalm 1
First Reading: Jeremiah 17:5-10
Second Reading: 1 Cor 15:12-20
Gospel: Luke 6:17-26
What I want to say:
To explore Luke’s version of this block of teaching and asking, why is it on a plane and not on a Mount, and what Luke might have thought “blessed” meant compared to what we too easily think it meant. And lastly where do I fit with all of this – I think I am numbered in the group being “woed” and warned.
What I want to happen:
People to reflect on where they fit with all of this and what that might mean for them as they approach this Lent
The Sermon
1.Introduction:
don’t hear these readings often in church
apart Psalm 1
Easter is about as late as it can go
earliest possible date for Easter is March 22 and the latest possible is April 25.
