This morning, the lectionary lesson will situate us alongside Jesus as he teaches in the synagogue on the sabbath. Seeing a woman crippled by a spirit, Jesus will pause his lesson, call the woman over, and heal her saying, “Woman, you are set free from your ailment.” While the woman will praise God for her healing, the leader of the synagogue will grow indignant saying, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured and not on the Sabbath day.”
Sermon on Luke 13:10-17, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on August 24th, 2025.
