2023 Summer Lectionary: Wrestling with Faith

Revised Common Lectionary

Summer 2023

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Jesus’ response [understood in the Greek, is:] “If you have the faith of a mustard seed (and you do) – implying … that what they need isn’t more faith. What they need to realize is that the thing they ALREADY have IS faith. It’s like Jesus is saying how much faith do you have? and I’m like I don’t know Jesus, it’s not very much it’s like barely any and Jesus is saying “perfect!”

Nadia-Bolz Weber, “A sermon on faith and doubt,” Oct. 2, 2022
