Hebrews 13:8, 15-16 | Luke 14:1, 7-14

In the letter to the Hebrews 13:1 8, 15–16, the author urges mutual love to be the basis of communal relationships, and particularly to remember those in prison and peril, welcoming strangers and doing good and sharing what they have, following Christ’s example. Our Gospel Lesson for this Sunday is Luke 14:1, 7-14. Dining at the house of a Pharisee, Jesus notes how the guests jockey for a good position at the table. This leads Jesus to teach on the virtue of humility.

Hebrews 12:18-29  |  Luke 13:10-17

God breaks into our world and shakes things up. When Jesus reaches out to the woman who is bent over and proclaims she is “set free,” we rejoice in our liberation as well. We are set free to respond to God’s call and participate fully in the new life of God’s healing reign. Jesus welcomes, loves, and restores. What is our call to discipleship in the new life that Jesus brings?

The readings today invite reflection on the sources of strength and encouragement that God provides to restore and guide as we take up our role as disciples.

Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16  |  Luke 12:32-40

As God calls us to claim our roles as disciples, our response is grounded in faith. What is this faith? In the readings today, we encounter the dynamic nature of faith and its expression in the lives of individuals and communities. We live in the assurance of faith as we await the fullness of the reign of God. This week, we are encouraged again to look to the example of faithful witnesses for the assurance we need to keep hoping and believing.

Psalm 49:1-9 | Luke 12:13-21

This week’s readings challenge us to place our trust entirely in God. God does provide, and often God provides for others through us. How does life under the reign of God empower us to live in trust that we will have enough, not only for ourselves but also to share with the community?

Psalm 85  |  Luke 11:1-13

Prayer is at the heart of discipleship. Prayer is at the heart of our relationship with God. The readings for today lift up God’s nature of love and compassion; they assure us of God’s readiness to hear and attend to our prayers. As we pray, we know God more fully, and as we know God more fully, we pray confidently and with persistence.

The call to take up the role of discipleship encompasses a call to ground our daily living in the word of God.
