RCL reflection, Proper 22, Year C, October 5, 2025. This week’s gospel and epistle lessons provide important instruction about being stewards of the very faith we name, claim, and live. It doesn’t get much more basic than that, and this is some very good news. The Rev. Sharron Blezard explores. (Photo: Rex Regum, Creative Commons)
RCL Reflection for Oct. 6, 2019
What would it look like if we could trust Jesus that we don’t need super powers or super faith to do great things in his name? How much better might our world be if we got over ourselves a little bit and realize that it’s all about God anyway. When we get our wash-n-wear selves aligned with God’s grand purpose and will, you can rest assured that standing in a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline is not far behind.

Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost Lectionary Reflection, October 6, 2013
More is not always necessary, or even better. Take hot sauce for example. A little goes a long way. God gives us enough faith. We need only trust and be good stewards of the gift. (Photo: Creative Commons)
19th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, Year A, Oct. 3, 2010
Wouldn’t it be great if there was an inoculation to increase one’s faith? In today’s lesson, Jesus tells the apostles that only the tiniest seed of faith is necessary. (Photo by Andres Rueda used under a Creative Commons license. Thanks!)
