The epistle for Trinity 16 in Year C is 2 Tim 1.1–14. Paul uses striking fatherly language in addressing Timothy, but also notes the way that faith has been passed to him through his biological family line—thus illustrating the two ways in which we can be fruitful in creation and kingdom.
We explore Paul's vivid metaphors—and, in a first, James gets to sing!
The gospel reading is the very short Luke 17.5–10; you can find the video discussion here: https://youtu.be/1Kz5Cm-u6iw
