Preaching the Word of God

The gospel lesson, the only scripture
not read from the lectern, not this day
The word of God preached from the pulpit
the story told with passion
inflection, with memory
familiarity with the lesson
comfort with the words,
and their deepest meaning
Bringing Christ’s parable to life
for the whole congregation
