Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary TimePrayer is the oxygen we need to spiritually live. It is our primary connection with God. In today's Gospel we read about two individuals who enter the temple to pray with different postures of this fundamental reality: the pharisee and the tax collector. The pharisee left the temple self-justified leading to further self-guilt and self-hatred. Whereas, the tax collector left justified by God. God listens not to perfection, but to humility. True prayer is is the posture of dependence, not pride. Pray like the tax collector and live like St. Paul-humble, grateful, and confident in God's mercy.Scripture Readings for October 26, 2025Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18Psalm 34:2-3, 17-19, 232 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18Luke 18:9-14

Twenty Ninth Sunday in Ordinary TimeAll three of the Sunday Mass readings have the theme of perseverance. Moses persisting in the fight against the Amalek's, St. Paul in encouraging St. Timothy to remain faithful in teaching and witness both when it's convenient and inconvenient, and the persistent widow in asking for a judgement from an unjust judge. We need to hear them over and over again. Why? For the simple reason because our hearts become wearisome. Don't quit. You are doing great. God is with you. Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set. May God help us to run so as to win.Scripture Readings for October 19, 2025Exodus 17:8-13Psalm 121:1-82 Timothy 3:14-4:2Luke 18:1-8

Scripture Reading from Luke 10: 38-42 (0:00)Sermon by Sam Haist (0:40)

Paul loves the Messy Church at Corinth because God loves the Messy Church at Corinth. It's because Paul loves the church that he won't leave them in their mess, but leads them forward to become all that God has declared them to be. And it doesn't take him long to jump write into one of the core issues plaguing the church. The church is divided.

Twenty Seventh Sunday in Ordinary TimeSt. Paul in his letter to St. Timothy encourages him to "fan into flame" the gift given him, not to be ashamed of witnessing Christ, and to hold fast to sound teaching. As Catholics we ought not to agree more. Scripture Readings for October 5, 2025Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4Psalm 95:1-2, 6-92 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14Luke 17:5-10

Scripture Reading from Luke 10: 25-37 (0:00)Sermon by Nicholas McDonald (2:24)

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary TimeThe prophet Amos challenges us to see the suffering around us and respond. He goes on to imply further that indifference to others' suffering is a moral failure. Our Gospel presents the reality of Amos' preaching via the telling of the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Notice both the rich man and Lazarus' eternal destinies are reversed: the rich man had a name in society but now nameless in the afterlife. Lazarus who had no voice on earth now known by name in heaven.Scripture Readings for September 28, 2025Amos 6:1, 4-7Psalm 146:7-101 Timothy 6:11-16Luke 16:19-31

In this episode, we talk with Zach Lambert, lead pastor of Restore Church in Austin, Texas. We discuss the complexities of interpreting the Bible and the ways it can be misused or misunderstood. Lambert outlines his new book, 'Better Ways to Read the Bible,' which identifies harmful interpretive lenses—Literalism, Apocalypse, Moralism, and Hierarchy—and proposes alternatives—Jesus, Context, Flourishing, and Fruitfulness. He emphasizes that the Bible should promote healing and justice rather than violence and oppression. The conversation also examines how these interpretations are applied in social and political contexts, highlighting the significance of faith-based activism and community engagement. Zach will be joining us to discuss his book on this month's RLC book club, which you can register to watch for free: September Book Club Connect with Zach • Better Ways to Read the Bible: Better Ways to Read the Bible – Baker Book House • Zach on Instagram: @zachwlambert • Restore Austine: RESTORE AUSTIN | Join Our Community Today Connect with RLC • Help sustain the work of RLC: www.redletterchristians.org/donate/ • To check out what RLC is up to, please visit us www.redletterchristians.org  • Follow us on Twitter: @RedLetterXians • Instagram: @RedLetterXians • Follow Shane on Instagram: @shane.claiborne • Twitter: @ShaneClaiborne
