SUMMARY:6th Sunday between Epiphany and Lent - Year C
DESCRIPTION:Below you will find the Bible readings set for this occasion in the Revised Common Lectionary\, with our Australian idiomatic paraphrases of them\, plus prayers and sermons based on them. \n\n\n\nBible Readings (paraphrased)\n\n\n\nLections from The Revised Common Lectionary. Copyright 1992 by the Consultation on Common Texts(CCT) P.O. Box 340003\, Room 381\, Nashville\, TN 37203-0003\, USA. Used with Permission. \n\n\n	\n\n		\n			\n				  Jeremiah 17: 5-10			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	This is what the LORD says: \n“The writing is on the wall for those\nwho turn their backs on me\,\nthinking they can live off their own bat\nwith only human muscle to back them up. \nThey will be in more trouble\nthan a fruit tree growing on a salt pan.\nStunted and lonely\, they will cry out for relief\nbut even the rains will bring no life. \nWhat a contrast to those who trust in me.\nI\, the LORD\, will rain down blessings on them. \nThey will flourish like trees growing on a river bank\nwith not a worry in the world.\nWhen the dry season comes and the river dries up\ntheir roots draw cool water from deep below.\nEven years of drought pose no danger.\nThey continue to flower and fruit regardless. \nWho can understand the human heart?\nIt’s as shifty as a sand dune;\nas devious as a hungry dingo. \nI\, the LORD\, can see right through you.\nI know what makes you tick.\nI treat everyone as they deserve\,\nassessing the fruit of their actions.” \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  Psalm 1			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	LORD\, how good it will be for those\nwho turn a deaf ear to the advocates of greed;\nwho steer clear of corrupt short-cuts;\nand avoid those who sneer at goodness. \nInstead they relish your word\, LORD.\nCalming their minds\,\nthey savour the scriptures day and night. \nYou make them strong and healthy\,\nlike a Redgum tree with its roots deep in a river bank\,\nflowering abundantly every season\,\nand always laden with healthy leaves.\nAll that they do is vibrant with life. \nBut what a different story it is for the wicked;\nthey are about as secure as dry leaves in a cyclone. \nThey will have no defence\nwhen they are brought to justice\,\nand no friends among people of integrity. \nLORD\, you keep a protective eye\non all who walk a straight path of peace and justice\,\nbut nothing will save those who leave that road. \n©2002 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  1 Corinthians 15: 12-20			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	The message that we preached was that the Messiah is alive — risen from the dead — and you became Christians when you heard that message. So how come some of you are now saying that the dead won’t be raised to life? If the dead are not raised to life\, then the Messiah has not been raised. And if the Messiah has not been raised\, then he is still dead in his grave. And if that were the case\, then our preaching is a waste of breathe and your faith is not worth a zack. Actually\, it would be worse than that. We’d be guilty of misleading people about God — of telling outright lies — because we have been pushing the story that God raised the Messiah from the dead\, and if it’s not true that the dead are raised then that story is a total fabrication. \nLet’s face it: if God does not raise the dead\, then the Messiah has not been raised. There is no question that he was dead\, so if the Messiah has not been raised then he’s not alive now. And if he’s not alive now then your faith is an exercise in futility and every black mark that’s ever gone against your name still stands. What’s more\, all those who died trusting in the Messiah\, were just clutching at straws and they’ve had the gong. If we’ve put all our eggs in the Messiah’s basket and it has made no difference to how much life we’ve got — we will still just die and that will be the end of it — then we must be the sorriest bunch of losers who ever drew breath. \nBut the fact of the matter is that the Messiah has been raised from the dead and is more alive than ever. And he’s just the first. Now that he’s set the precedent you can rest assured that there are plenty more to come! \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  Luke 6: 17-26			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	Jesus and his twelve closest followers came down from the mountain and ran into a huge crowd of people on the flat grasslands below. Many of them were already followers of Jesus and many more were just people who had heard of him and had travelled there to hear him speak or to see if he could heal them of various chronic illnesses. They had come from all over Judea\, from Jerusalem\, and even from the coastal towns of Tyre and Sidon. There were people there who were plagued by toxic spirits\, and Jesus cleaned up the problems for them. Everyone was crowding in\, trying to touch him\, because there was a powerful healing energy surging from him and everybody wanted a piece of it. Jesus obliged and healed them all. \nWhile they were there he taught his followers\, saying: \n“You who own next to nothing have got it made\,\nbecause you are already at home in the culture of God. \n“You who don’t have enough to eat now have got it made\,\nbecause you will be filled with good things. \n“You who are grief stricken now have got it made\,\nbecause you will be all smiles and laughter. \n“And if people hate you and shut you out\, treat you like dirt and drag your name through the mud because of your association with me\, then you really have got it made! You’re in great company because in every generation they’ve done the same thing to all God’s faithful messengers. So sing! Dance! Celebrate! Heaven is coming and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams! \n“But the writing is on the wall for you who have got it all now.\nThat’s it for you. You’ve got nothing more to look forward to. \n“And the writing is on the wall for you who consume to excess.\nYou’ve had your share. You’re going to go hungry. \n“The writing is on the wall for you who think it’s all a big joke now.\nThe smile is going to be wiped right off your face. \n“And if everybody is fawning over you and saying how wonderful you are\, then the writing is well and truly on the wall. They come from a long line of people who fawned over every religious charlatan that ever tickled their ears.” \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n	\n\n\n\nPrayers\n\n\n	\n\n		\n			\n				  Eucharistic Preface			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	Let us lift up our hearts.\nWe lift them to the Lord.\nLet us give thanks to the Lord our God.\nIt is right to give our thanks and praise. \nIt is indeed right to give you our thanks and praise\, O God\,\nfor in you all hunger is filled\,\nall grief is turned to laughter\nand the Kingdom is handed to those who had nothing. \nYou created the world and all that live in it.\nYou called us to trust you\,\nand to put down our roots\nalongside the life-giving stream of your Word. \nYour child\, Jesus Christ\, came among us\nand demonstrated your solidarity with all\nwho live in poverty\, hunger\, grief and hostility.\nThough crowds sought him for wisdom and healing\,\nthose who were rich\, satisfied\, and powerful\npreferred false prophets to true\,\nso they hated him\, defamed him\, and had him killed.\nBut our hope did not die with him\,\nfor you raised him from the dead\,\nas the first fruits of those who have died\,\nopening the way of resurrection life to us all. \nTherefore with ..... \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  Short Preface (for insertion into Eucharistic prayers with fixed prefaces)			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	We give you thanks for raising Christ from the dead\,\nand opening the way of resurrection life to us all\,\nIn you\, O God\, all hunger is filled\,\nall grief is turned to laughter\nand the Kingdom is handed to those who had nothing. \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  General Prayer of Thanksgiving			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	(Preface reformatted for use apart from communion)\n\nWe give you all thanks and praise\, O God\,\nfor in you all hunger is filled\,\nall grief is turned to laughter\nand the Kingdom is handed to those who had nothing. \nYou created of the world and all that live in it.\nYou called us to trust you\,\nand to put down our roots\nalongside the life-giving stream of your Word. \nYour child\, Jesus Christ\, came among us\nand demonstrated your solidarity with all\nwho live in poverty\, hunger\, grief and hostility.\nThough crowds sought him for wisdom and healing\,\nthose who were rich\, satisfied\, and powerful\npreferred false prophets to true\,\nso they hated him\, defamed him\, and had him killed.\nBut our hope did not die with him\,\nfor you raised him from the dead\,\nas the first fruits of those who have died\,\nopening the way of resurrection life to us all. \nTherefore\, with our hearts lifted high\,\nwe offer you thanks and praise at all times\nthrough Jesus Christ our Lord\,\nwho lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\,\none God\, for ever and ever.\nAmen. \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  Declaration of Grace / Absolution			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	It is true that Christ has been raised from death\,\nand because he has been raised\nwe are no longer lost in our sins.\nBlessed are you who weep now\,\nfor Christ will raise you to life and laughter. \nSisters and Brothers\,\n  your sins are forgiven;\n    be at peace. \n©2001 Nathan Nettleton LaughingBird.net \n\n\n			\n	\n		\n\n		\n			\n				  Commission & Benediction			\n		\n\n		\n		 \n \n	Go now\, with your trust in the Lord.\nDo not be influenced by the ways of sinners and cynics\,\nbut delight in the Lord’s teaching\nand study it night and day.\nRejoice in your union with Christ\neven when people reject you for it. \nAnd may God raise you to new life with Christ.\nMay Christ Jesus heal you of all that troubles you.\nAnd may the Holy Spirit nourish you from the deep\nand keep you fruitful in all you do. \nWe go in peace to love and serve the Lord\,\n   In the name of Christ.
