Show notes

Sarah looks at the first 2 of the assigned lectionary texts for May 7, 2017, the 4th Sunday of Easter. This Sunday is referred to as Good Shepherd Sunday, with 3 of the texts talking about sheep and/or shepherds. Psalm 23 is arguably one of the most popular and recognizable Psalm with it's image of a shepherd who leads his sheep to safety and comfort. Acts 2:42-47 is a transitional point in the story, moving from Peter's sermon on Pentecost to the workings of the early church communities.

Show notes

Sarah looks at the gospel text assigned for the 2nd Sunday of Easter, April 23, 2017. In John 20:19-31 we hear the story of Doubting Thomas, who refused to believe in the risen Christ until he was able to see and touch his wounds. Was Thomas wrong to want this? Wasn't he only asking for what the other disciples had already seen? There is a lot to be learned from this story.
