Leigh preaching our lectionary journey through the Gospel of Luke, as Jesus gets closer and closer to Jerusalem.

Homily Preview: Sunday, we continue our lectionary journey through the Gospel of Luke, as Jesus gets closer and closer to Jerusalem. In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable about a widow seeking justice who does not take "no" for an answer. Despite her powerlessness, she exacts justice - and so invites us to an unexpected picture of Christ's victory on our behalf. This is a wonderful parable, rich with layers of meaning. I am excited to reflect on this passage with you all on Sunday morning, as we contemplate this widow, God's heart for justice, and the life of faith and prayer.
