[RCL] Genesis 21:8-21; Ps 86:1-10, 16-17; Romans 6:1b-11; Matthew 10:24-39 Today’s gospel passage, from chapter ten of the Gospel of Matthew, has us in the middle portion of Jesus’ ministry. We’ve left behind the narratives of his early life; he has begun gathering his core disciples; and more people are joining his movement by the day….
RCL: Genesis 21:8-21; Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17; Romans 6:1b-11; Matthew 10:24-39 Genesis 21:8-21 Outside of the book of Genesis, the word “Abraham” appears in the Bible 142 times.

[RCL] Genesis 21:8-21; Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17; Romans 6:1b-11; Matthew 10:24-39 In today’s Gospel, the tail-end of a commencement speech of sorts, Jesus prepares his twelve closest followers for their first mission apart from him.
