TIM'S LECTIONARY DIGEST

By Tim Isbell,  posted 9/8/2023, revised 1/1/2024 to improve speed and structure. 

The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) is the best list of scriptures I know to help intermediate-level believers grow into mature, balanced Christians. (To investigate Christian faith or refresh your understanding of it, click on my Bible Reading Strategies and begin with the Story-Line Plan.)

Tim's Lectionary Digest works best for those already familiar with the Old Testament, the gospel, and Acts narratives. If that's you, and you want to go deeper, I recommend a study based on the 3-year scripture sets in the Revised Common Lectionary. You can start it on any week in the cycle. These are the same scriptures used in at least twenty Christian traditions to frame Sunday worship. Each week includes passages from a gospel, an epistle, an Old Testament narrative, and an Old Testament wisdom or prophecy writing. 

Each of the lectionary's three years begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. Click on Gloria's Lectionary Page to map any calendar date to its lectionary scripture set.

Remember, I'm continually revising these weekly Digests.
