Proper 16

Luke 13.10-17

Context

This week we move from reflection to action, from parable to miracle with the healing of a woman in the synagogue.

Common thread – Are you serving? (Luke 13.10-17)

We might expect the healing of a sick person to be greeted with rejoicing, yet for those who witnessed the healing in the synagogue, Jesus’ compassion is a source of controversy, for he is considered to have broken the Sabbath. In the ROOTS resources this week, we consider the cost of service.

An alternative thread for adults, God is speaking, is based on Hebrews 12.18-29.

These resources were first published in Issue 48 July/August 2010.
