Mites, Masks & Trumpets | Leonard Sweet, LenTalk #137, PreachTheStory, Lectionary Semiotics, 06NOV22

About this sermon

One of the most misunderstood stories in the life of Jesus is the story of the "widow's mite." You can't understand what Jesus is teaching his disciples unless you grasp the symbols of masks and trumpets, the latter of which Jesus uses masterfully and poetically as a double-entendre to condemn the religious establishment. This week, the lectionary gospel reading is a springboard, not a straightjacket. The Lectionary Passages for the Week of 2 October 2022 are: Haggai 1:15b-2:9 Psalm 145:1-5, 18-22 or Psalm 98 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17 Luke 20:27-38 We would love for you to hit the "subscribe" button for these vlogs.
