SUMMARY:Preaching Luke during Christmas and in Epiphany: Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
DESCRIPTION:In both Luke and Acts\, Luke’s narrative delights in subverting normal expectations as it presents God’s topsy-turvy plan and activity. The glory of the Lord isn’t manifested in the temple to the chief priests but to shepherds dwelling at the margins of society. A seemingly lost 12-year old boy knows more about divine necessity than any adult including his own mother. The hometown hero defies cultural norms and enrages the very people among whom he grew up. The holy breaks into the profane. Those who are truly to be congratulated are the poor not the rich. Standards of reciprocity are reversed. Jesus is destined to fulfill his exodus. All of these divine subversions of what would normally be expected according to the ways and means of the world are part of the Lukan gospel lessons for the seasons of Christmas and Epiphany in Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary. In this Emmaus offering\, these subversive gospel lessons will be explored to help equip preachers in their proclamation of Luke’s vision and expectations of what God is doing through the person and mission of Jesus. \nThis class is open to all but is particularly geared for pastors\, deacons\, PMAs and others who will be preaching during the upcoming Christmas and Epiphany seasons \nInstructor:\nThe Reverend Dr. Rick Carlson serves as co-lead pastor of First Lutheran Church in Kearney\, Nebraska in partnership with his wife\, the Reverend Dr. Michelle Carlson.
