The lectionary has a three year cycle of readings. Luke's Gospel is read during cycle C. Luke the Evangelist is writing some 30 to 40 years after Jesus' death and resurrection and concentrates on the mission of Jesus to the poor and outcast. Luke's is the gospel of Parables - the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, the Kingdom of Heaven Parables. Luke reminds us that the message of Jesus is for all people in all times.

2024 Sermons
During 2024 we will be reading from the Gospel of Mark, with some portions of John’s Gospel. Mark, the shortest of all New Testament gospels is likely the first to have been written, and recounts what Jesus did in a vivid style, where one incident follows directly upon another. Mark stresses Jesus’ message about the kingdom of God now breaking into human life as good news.
