Holy Trinity Sunday

Lectionary for Holy Trinity Sunday


Rather than a devotion for this day, I thought I would simply give you the link to the video-taped version of the sermon for the day.

You will hear the reading for this day, be able to confess the Creed, and sing the hymn of the day.
Then, you may watch/listen to... the sermon.

How will we respond?

  On Wednesday, an event took place that has been rather polarizing, Charlie Kirk was murdered!   I have thought long and hard about what to write. On 9/11 I posted my thoughts on sinfulness - mine and the sinfulness of every single person who has, who is, of whoever will inhabit human flesh. That sinfulness is often manifested in vile evil. And I begged all to pray The Litany.  It is an ancient prayer of The Church and it is easy to see why. (see it at the end of this post) How do those who disagree respond?   I am going to state what I believe. God created man in His image, God’s own breath (spirit) was breathed into man to make him a living soul. That image pointed forward to Him who is God in human flesh - Jesus, God’s Christ - the One in whose image Adam was created. Woman was brought forth from that man as God caused Adam to go into a deep sleep, took a rib from his side, and made woman from that rib. This is the lesser miracle pointing forward to the gre...

Trinity XI Sunday - Devotion in semi-Exile

   Lection for Trinity XI 1 Kings3:1-15       2  Corinthians 1:1-22 A friend of mine from Connecticut, lamenting the state of our society, thought about what God would have to say to us today.  He thought, "If the Lord were to speak to us in the same form as the Lord's Prayer, only in reverse, what would He say?"  He wrote the following rendition of the Lord's Prayer: My children, who art on earth, Hollow be thy world. My kingdom's coming, thy will's undone, on earth there is no heaven. I gave you each day your daily bread, and forgave you your trespasses, even while you trespassed against me. You led yourselves into temptation, as I wanted to deliver you from the evil one. You've despised My kingdom, ignored My power, and given Me no glory, forever and ever.   Amen.   These are some harsh words.  Yet, if we examine them carefully, they are also too true.  We look around and we can see how God's laws have been undone.  Je...

Tuesday of Trinity III - Devotion in semi-Exile

Lection for Tuesday after Trinity III  Joshua 5:1-6:5        Acts 10:1-17 Peter, up on Simon’s roof to pray, is given a vision. This vision happens three times, and if you want to pay attention to numbers in the Bible, three is the number of the God, three-in-one Trinity. Peter receives the same vision (1 vision), three times. Peter is informed He is to kill and eat that which has been let down before him in this vision. Peter will not do so, for the animals are unclean, they are unholy. But the voice tells him, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.” God is preparing Peter for the visit of Cornelius, a Gentile. This same Cornelius also had a vision which informed him he was go to Peter. Cornelius is a convert to Judaism, formerly a Gentile, one of the unclean. So both are being prepared for the meeting which will take place in tomorrow’s reading from Acts. But there is also something else taking place here. God had given dietary laws to ...
