At Home with the Lectionary

Send us a text

In this episode, we consider the readings for the Proper 6, Year B in the Lectionary cycle: 1 Samuel 15:34-16:13 & Psalm 20 or Ezekiel 17:22-24 & Psalm 92:1-4, 11-14; 2 Corinthians 5:6-17; Mark 4:26-34.
We discuss the anointing of David & the rejection of Saul as king, the kingly-military imagery of the Psalm, Paul's determination to be all things to all people, and Jesus' parables of the seeds.
