At Home with the Lectionary

Send us a text

In this episode, we consider the readings for the Proper 9, Year B in the Lectionary cycle: 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 & Psalm 48 or Ezekiel 2:1-5 & Psalm 123; 2 Corinthians 12:2-10; Mark 6:1-13.
We discuss the epic storytelling around David's kingship, the Psalm's imagery of God as stronghold, Paul's boasting, spiritual privacy, humility and thorn in the flesh, and Jesus' rejection at Nazareth.

I (Marissa) am not sure what I was thinking of regarding the water supply in Jerusalem. Perhaps it was Hezekiah's tunnel; perhaps something else, but this article has interesting observations about the water supply to the city.
