It brought us to wonder, in what ways do we create our own agendas to put on Jesus, and how do we fall into the temptation to make Jesus the King we want him to be rather than allow ourselves to be challenged by the King he actually is? As we move into Holy Week, this conversation will challenge us to consider the ways we make Jesus into our own image and provide practices to combat that tendency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lectionary Readings for the sixth Sunday of Lent, Cycle C:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Liturgy of the Palms: <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=123#psalm_reading\">Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=123#gospel_reading\">Luke 19:28-40<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Liturgy of the Passion: <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=124#hebrew_reading\">Isaiah 50:4-9a<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=124#psalm_reading\">Psalm 31:9-16<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=124#epistle_reading\">Philippians 2:5-11<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=124#gospel_reading\">Luke 22:14-23:56<\/a><em> or <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=124#gospel_oth_reading\"><em>Luke 23:1-49<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join us for a VIRTUAL Stations of the Cross service on Friday, April 15 at 12 pm CST.
