At Home with the Lectionary: Recent Episodes
Fr. Aaron Burt and Marissa Burt
Join Fr. Aaron and Marissa Burt as we discuss Sunday lectionary texts from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). Fr. Aaron serves as Rector of Advent Anglican, an ACNA church in the greater Seattle area. Marissa is an author and educator. We each have over two decades of experience in the Anglican tradition and seminary degrees in Bible and theology. From that foundation, we aim for our podcast to be a casual, unscripted conversation about the readings. Our hope is that lovers of the Word will enjoy exploring the texts beyond what a Sunday sermon can give time to--and that preachers will find this tour through the texts a helpful contribution to their sermon prep. Learn more about RCL online: https://www.lectionarypage.net/ Advent Anglican: https://www.advent.church/ Anglican Church in North America: https://anglicanchurch.net/ Prayers corresponding with the lectionary: https://www.prayersofthefaithful.org/

Posting from the archives again this week! We hope to be back recording new episodes in August. Until then, I know 3-years-ago Aaron and Marissa would love to have you join them for Proper 12. 😉
In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 12, Year A:
Genesis 29:15-28 & Psalm 105:1-11,45b or Psalm 128; 1 Kings 3:5-12 & Psalm 119:129-136; Romans 8:26-39; Matthew 13:31-33,44-52.
We discuss Jacob's marriage to Leah and Rachel (and how Laban's deception and mistreatment of Jacob echos Jacob's deception and mistreatment of his father Isaac and brother Esau), Paul's spectacular (and often misunderstood/misapplied) conclusion of Romans 8 with its promise that "all things work together for good," and finally Jesus's rapid set of short kingdom parables: a mustard seed, a bit of yeast, a valuable treasure, a treasure-seeker, and a net that captures too much rather than too little.

This week has us sending along another re-post from the archives, while we are on sabbatical. The readings for this week are almost exactly the same as the RCL Lectionary we were using three years ago, but any timely remarks will be tied to circa 2023. Thanks for joining us, friends, and we look forward to returning to fresh episodes very soon!
In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 6, Year A in the Lectionary cycle:

The quote Aaron mentioned: "Polytheism, therefore, was really a sort of pool; in the sense of the pagans having consented to the pooling of their pagan religions. And this point is very important in many controversies ancient and modern. It is regarded as a liberal and enlightened thing to say that the god of the stranger may be as good as our own; and doubtless the pagans thought themselves very liberal and enlightened when they agreed to add to the gods of the city or the hearth some wild and fantastic Dionysus coming down from the mountains or some shaggy and rustic Pan creeping out of the woods. But exactly what it lost by these larger ideas is the largest idea of all. It is the idea of the fatherhood that makes the whole world one."

--Marissa writing about Mary's arc on Substack in "The Stories Mary Could Tell."
"Any Greek reader would recognize the use of Logos (“In the
beginning was the Logos”) as their concept of a transcendent entity and would understand that John was proclaiming Jesus to be the embodiment of Logos.
Similarly, any Jewish reader would recognize John’s opening words in John 1:1 as a reference back to Genesis 1:1 (“In the beginning”) and would understand that John was proclaiming Jesus to be God and creator.
In a few brief opening words, therefore, John captures the attention and instructs the minds of both Jews and Greeks. " Article by: Mwindula Mbewe of Logos

Notes:
"God had a birthweight.
That thought stunned me into silence this week.
God, who exhales stars and cloaks himself in comets, who whittles entire woods and sings the sunrise. The High King himself, the carver of jagged mountain peaks, the weaver of wildflower meadows, took on the crushing human limitations of skin and bones, ‘contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man’ (Wesley).
How much did God incarnate weigh at birth?
What is the price per pound of peace on earth?
I’ll post a liturgy tomorrow for week three of Advent, the Shepherd’s Candle of Joy, today though I’m taking several prayer-full breaths and sitting with the reality of incarnation and the indescribable hope of our immanent Emmanuel." - Charissa Sylvia

--“Trust him. And when you have done that, you are living the life of grace. No matter what happens to you in the course of that trusting - no matter how many waverings you may have, no matter how many suspicions that you have bought a poke with no pig in it, no matter how much heaviness & sadness your lapses, vices, indispositions, & bratty whining may cause you - you believe simply that Somebody Else, by his death and resurrection, has made it all right, & you just say thank you & shut up. The whole slop-closet full of mildewed performances (which is all you have to offer) is simply your death; it is Jesus who is your life. If he refused to condemn you because your works were rotten, he certainly isn't going to flunk you because your faith isn't so hot. You can fail utterly, therefore, & still live the life of grace. You can fold up spiritually, morally, or intellectually & still be safe. Because at the very worst, all you can be is dead - & for him who is the Resurrection & the Life, that just makes you his cup of tea.”

And we read the account of the Spirit falling on the 70 elders in the wilderness, including the two who stayed home that day.

--Follow the Devil/Follow the Light, by: Dr. Jeremiah Webster From the blurb: "Can the reality of Imago Dei eclipse the failings of a troubled protagonist? Can the Christian imagination speak to a generation captivated by Stranger Things, Squid Game, and the Marvel universe? Can the means of pop culture advance theological ends? These were just some of the questions I wrestled with during the creation of Follow the Devil / Follow the Light. What follows is a supposal, a work of fiction, a dark vision for dark times. There are fits of allegory throughout, but nothing to advance the tradition of Plato, Spencer, Bunyan, Hawthorne, etc. I have no unique access into the provinces of the hereafter: infernal or beatific. Fortunately, neither do my readers. This side of the veil, we can only speculate 'what dreams may come.'"

Many years ago we watched a close friend walk with a loved one through a diagnosis of terminal cancer. In 2007 we made this recording as a gift of courage to the suffering and their families, particularly for those who find themselves physically unable – for whatever reason – to read the Scriptures. Please forgive the older sound quality, but we archive it here in with the hope that it will continue to bring comfort and hope. All readings come from the NLT, and the music is an original composition.
May the Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end.

We wonder at the marvelous account of the Transfiguration, consider Peter's direct eye-witness testimony, highlight God's attributes named in the Psalm, and close with the dramatic scene of Moses on the mountain.

We consider the portions of Jesus' Sermon the Mount that address anger, hatred, lust, adultery, divorce, and oath breaking, and our inability to keep the Law. We briefly discuss Paul's description of humble church leadership that recognizes God brings life and growth as well as the invitation to walk in God's life-giving ways found in the Psalm and Deuteronomy.

We consider Jesus' teaching to His followers that identifies them as beneficial salt and light in the world. We speculate on Paul's statements about having the mind of Christ and discerning things spiritually. We discuss the Psalmist's invitation to walk in God's life-giving blessed ways which include qualities and actions that reflect God's character in communal life. We get goosebumps over Isaiah's prophetic indictment of religiously performative people and his gorgeous call for God's people to actively pursue justice in their communities.

In this episode, we discuss the readings for the fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year A in the Lectionary cycle: Matthew 5:1-12; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31; Psalm 15; Micah 6:1-8.
We consider the Beatitudes as a component of Jesus' announcement of His kingdom as He teaches His disciples about Himself as revealed in the ministry they have just witnessed. We discuss Paul's teaching on the way God's wisdom offers the grace of humility and an invitation to stop striving for prominence. We look at the NET's study notes in Psalm 15 and mark the prominence of love for neighbor as ab actionable character quality for those who draw near to God. We conclude with the Micah's prophetic pronunciation against the way the kingdom of Israel at that time explicitly distorted God's character as a contrast to the invitation of the Beatitudes.

We consider Jesus' ministry of teaching, preaching & healing the suffering, particularly in light of conversation within the disability community. We look at Paul's correction of schism and what it means for the Body of Christ throughout the ages. We discuss David's emotional plea in the midst of fear for nearness and intimacy with the Lord. We wonder at Isaiah's gorgeous imagery of the promised light of God's salvation dawning on the darkness and gloom of the individual and collective human condition.

QUOTE FROM N.T. WRIGHT
I was convinced it was a helicopter. It was a dark night, and a bright light was shining just above the nearby town. Surely, I thought, the police must be out looking for a criminal; or perhaps there had been an accident. We had just come from the city, and our eyes weren’t yet adjusted for the dark night-time out in the country. But there, plain for all to see, was a light in the sky: a bright, almost dazzling light that could only have come, I was convinced, from a man-made searchlight attached to an aeroplane or helicopter.
But I was wrong, as our taxi-driver took delight in pointing out to me. It was the planet Venus. It was at one of its closest points to our planet, Earth; it was hanging in the evening sky, brighter than I would ever have imagined. My eyes were too used to the city streetlights. I had forgotten just how bright, and how beautiful and evocative, the night sky can be.
The ancient world, innocent of streetlights, never forgot the night sky. Many people, particularly in the countries to the east of Palestine, had developed the study of the stars and the planets to a fine art, giving each one very particular meanings. They believed, after all, that the whole world was of a piece; everything was interconnected, and when something important was happening on earth you could expect to see it reflected in the heavens. Alternatively, a remarkable event among the stars and planets must mean, they thought, a remarkable event on earth.

In this episode, we discuss the readings for the first Sunday after the Epiphany (Year A in the Lectionary cycle: Matthew 3:13-17; Acts 10:34-43; Psalm 29; Isaiah 42:1-9).
We marvel at the Good News that is revealed to the whole world in Jesus' person and ministry to all people as He kindly offers healing, liberation, and restoration. The themes of Jesus' baptism, Peter's proclamation at Cornelius' baptism, the imagery of the Psalm, and the tender care of the Chosen Servant in Isaiah 42 offer us much to meditate on and receive with joy.

They are:Luke 2:15-21; Philippians 2:5-11 (or Galatians 4:4-7); Psalm 8; Numbers 6:22-27.
We consider the incarnation, Jesus' humility, God's governance, and the blessing of God's name.

DISCLAIMER FROM FR AARON: I did some digging after recording this episode. After all these years of thinking that Christ the King has the ability to sometimes trim off the last "proper" in the lectionary, I learned I was wrong! So please distrust and disbelieve what I tell Marissa regarding that issue. :) Turns out only the propers at the beginning of the season can get trimmed--and that would be due to where Easter Sunday falls on a given year, which is a whole different issue. Thanks for bearing with me!
In this episode, we consider the readings for Christ the King Sunday (Year C in the lectionary cycle):Luke 23:33-43; Colossians 1:11-20; Canticle 16; Jeremiah 23:1-6.
We discuss the Lord's promise to raise up a righteous shepherd to tend His people who have been scattered and injured, Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus and John the Baptist, and Paul's poetic words of praise of Christ the King. We also consider the lectionary's choice to end with the thief's declaration of faith as he sees Christ on the cross, recognizes His kingship in His death, and asks to be remembered when Jesus comes into His kingdom.

In this episode we discuss Jesus' parable that contrasts the prayer of the Pharisee who looks with contempt on others and the prayer of the tax collector who cries out for God's mercy, the final words of Paul that close 2 Timothy, the rich language of abundance in the Psalm, and the imagery of Joel's prophetic words.
Notes:
--C.S. Lewis on Humility: "Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call “humble” nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody.
Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all." --from Mere Christianity

In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 24 (Year C in the lectionary cycle):Luke 18:1-8; 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5; Psalm 119:97-104; Jeremiah 31:27-34.
We begin with Jesus' parable of the persistent widow and discuss how his story upends our preconceptions about God's accessibility and invites hopeful, trusting engagement in prayer. We consider Paul's timely guidance for staying focused and faithful, rooted in the Scriptures. We talk about the transformative impact of memorizing Scripture and the Psalmist's love for God's life-giving words. And we end with a lot of questions about Jeremiah's words.
Notes:
There are a lot of useful resources out there for memorizing Scripture. There are apps where you can record yourself saying passages, "games" where you can fill in the blanks, sites where you can type out verses, all sorts of techniques that you may find useful, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Here's what I've found to be helpful:
--Select a passage you personally want to learn.
--Consider the reality of your daily life. Sometimes memorizing a longer ambitious passage is feasible, but regularly working on various disparate passages (e.g. focus on a smaller single-verse passage every two weeks) may be more doable.
--Write or print out the passage. Laminate it if you love office products (like I do!) or find a way to jot it down and carry a notecard around with you.
--Look for times during your day (or night!) when you can recite the passage to yourself. Repeat it audibly. Try to say it without looking. Go back and check yourself. Keep repeating it.
--Note "anchors" within the passage that can help stay grounded in the flow of thought - these may become especially meaningful to you as they pair with memories from your daily life at this time.
--Every time you review your memory work, add a phrase or sentences.
--Soon, the "new" phrases that you had to check every few words will become "old" familiar ones, tucked away in your memory, as you continue to build.
--That's it! Like any muscle, it will grow with use. At first, you may find it takes two weeks to learn a verse, but as you proceed, it will become easier.
--Some passages (like Psalm 119) may be easier to memorize, because they've been designed with rhetorical "anchors." For instance, knowing there is a cohesive thought centered around four verses makes it easier to memorize.

This week, we discuss the Gospel in microcosm in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers and briefly look at more of Paul's instruction to Timothy. We ponder the invitation to imagine and praise God in the Psalm as well as Jeremiah's letter to the exiles in Babylon.

This week, we consider the hard words of lament in Psalm 137 and Lamentations, and the challenge of grappling with the reality of incomprehensible human suffering and pain . We also ponder the mysterious (to us!) teaching of Jesus about faith and unprofitable servanthood and find comfort and encouragement in Paul's exhortation to Timothy.

We discuss Jesus's parable of the rich man and Lazarus and His apt description of the human situation where, without repentance & the reorientation that comes through God's Word, we all prioritize our own comfort & ignore the suffering of others. We hear Paul's warnings against the love of money and cravings greed stirs. We also discuss how our attitude to money reveals something about our heart toward God and our neighbor and how hope-ful it is to follow the Lord, who is defined by mercy, generosity, and concern for suffering.

In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 19 (Year C in the lectionary cycle):Luke 15:1-10; 1 Timothy 1:12-17; Psalm 14; Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28.
We consider Jesus' parables about the lost sheep and the lost coin (or the good woman!) and the ways they reveal the celebration over repentance and read Paul's personal testimony of the riches of Christ's mercy. We find the Psalm and Jeremiah's prophetic words to also name the depths of evil, oppression, and arrogance of those who think they are accountable to no one. Over it all, we remember the riches of Christ's mercy and redemptive work of His seeking and finding that which is lost.

We discuss Jesus' honest description of the cost of being His follower and consider Paul's letter to Philemon regarding his beloved brother in Christ, the once-slave Onesimus. We also wonder at God's omniscience, omnipresence, and omnifiscence displayed in God's creative handiwork, particularly the weaving together of human beings. And we end with a reflection on the metaphor of God's active engagement with people, inviting them to the Good News of repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

And finally we remember the example and invitation of Jesus's endurance, hope, and joy.

We discuss Jesus' teaching about stewardship, specifically the story of a household waiting expectantly for the master's return. We consider the exemplary heroes in the faith who speak and act as though they are seeking the city God prepares for them. We briefly look at the Psalmist's reminder of God's preeminence as Judge of the earth and pair it with Isaiah's damning proclamation of judgment against injustice clothed in religiosity. Over all, we welcome the Lord's invitation to listen and repent and reflect on His generosity.

The readings this week are rich: Jesus' parable of the fool storing up treasure; Paul's exhortation to renew our minds and hide ourselves in Christ, thereby putting off the old disordered, idolatrous ways of relating and speaking; the Psalmist's recurring refrain of people in impossible situations calling out to the Lord for rescue; and the tender picture of the Lord upholding his child Israel. In our podcast conversation, we discuss the threads, woven throughout, that reflect the generosity of God's gracious provision and love, the rebellion of idolatry, the tender mercy of God's rescue, and the invitation to hide our lives in Christ as our home.

We discuss Paul's masterful doxological and pastoral approach. We note the devastating backdrop for the lament of Psalm 52 and the powerful prophetic message of Amos and how it can speak to us as we witness injustice and suffering.

We consider the imagery of shepherd and sheep across the texts: Jesus’ declaration that He knows His sheep, the depiction of Jesus as the Lamb, and the comfort of having the Lord shepherd us through the dangers and needs of this life. We also discuss how the words and works of God throughout the Scriptures invite belief in him, and examine how the practices of the early church always ultimately focus on Jesus.

We consider "doubting" (or should it be "believing"?)

As Psalm 150 and the Easter season beckon us to proclaim: Hallelujah! The Lord is risen indeed!

In this episode, we discuss four of the many readings for Easter Sunday (Year C in the lectionary cycle): Acts 10:34-43; Psalm 118:1-2,14-24; 1 Corinthians 15:19-26; Luke 24:1-12.
We join the women at the tomb as they cycle through grief, perplexity, and terror before they remember Jesus' words and so find hope and eagerness to share the good news. We marvel at Paul's theological teaching on what resurrection means to those "in Christ." We worship with the Psalmist that "on this day the Lord has acted" and consider the many layered approaches to biblical interpretation. We hear anew Peter's sermon and the birthright of the church: people who encounter the risen Jesus and then are commissioned to tell others about Him.

Editorial note from Fr Aaron:
I mention in this podcast that the number of verses in Psalm 37 is different between the Book of Common Prayer’s psalter and most Bible translations. Why? The psalter tends to stick with the “couplet” nature of the psalm when breaking it into verses, presumably because this makes for cleaner corporate reading. But since this psalm is an acrostic of the Hebrew alphabet, most Bible translations generally break it into verses according to each successive acrostic letter. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet (my apologies for not being able to recall that when recording this podcast!), so you might think this would result in 44 verses. Alas, some irregularities in the grouping of the acrostic’s letters prevents this sort of unperturbed math/versification. In the end, the result is that most Bibles will show 40 verses for Psalm 37, whereas various psalters will typically show either 41 or 42 verses.
I also mentioned that even the chapter/psalm number of each psalm may vary in some cases! How is that possible? The Vulgate (Latin translation of the OT) and Septuagint (Greek translation of the OT) split or combine several of the psalms, relative to the Hebrew manuscripts—though all add up to a total of 150 psalms ultimately. Most contemporary—and all Protestant—Bibles number the psalms according to the Hebrew manuscripts. But the Vulgate and Septuagint were central for the early Catholic and Orthodox churches, so you may find traces of this different numbering system for the psalms in those traditions.
