-
Commentary,
1 Timothy 2:1-7, A.K.M. Adam, Preaching This Week,
WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
- "This week's passage picks up and sustains the theological grounding of the offer of free grace for all (regardless of whether all receive that grace), and situates it in a practical context."
-
"Prayers and Peace," Mary Hinkle Shore, Pilgrim Preaching,
2010.
- "From a text in one of the pastoral epistles, a risky, subversive way of being Christian starts to come into focus: we do not pray for the powerful in order to be left alone by them. We pray so that our paths may cross with these people?in Christ."
-
"Prayerful Living," commentary by Lizette Merchán Pinilla, ucc.org: Sermon
Seeds, lectionary citations, weekly theme, lectionary texts, bulletin back page,
2010.
- "This is a call to welcome all ? a place where all of God?s people have struggled at some point in their lives, or are still there and will or have come back out ? to worship ?a God who is more than a tribal deity, a God who must be one for all humans; and if God is to be fair, then there must be some principle by which all humans can respond to God: faith? (Luke Timothy Johnson, The First and Second Letters to Timothy, The Anchor Bible). "

or Revolution?" Russell Rathbun, The Hardest Question, 2010.
- "How do you have a revolution when you are trying to appease the throne?"
-
"First
Thoughts on Year C Epistle Passages in the Lectionary,"
Pentecost 17, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
- "If there is a role of mediation we fulfil it is solely to pass on what we freely receive, not to play god. People have enough trouble struggling with their gods than for us to place ourselves in that pantheon."
- "Worship in the Church," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
-
"Connecting
Exhortation and Song,"
Expository Essay,
Dr. William R. Long.
- "Rather than looking at it as a discrete set of pieces of advice, look at the structure of the passage and focus on the connection of exhortation to song to worship."
