Year A, Proper 12

We discuss Jacob's marriage to Leah and Rachel (and how Laban's deception and mistreatment of Jacob echos Jacob's deception and mistreatment of his father Isaac and brother Esau), Paul's spectacular (and often misunderstood/misapplied) conclusion of Romans 8 with its promise that "all things work together for good," and finally Jesus's rapid set of short kingdom parables: a mustard seed, a bit of yeast, a valuable treasure, a treasure-seeker, and a net that captures too much rather than too little.
