SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Ruth 1:1-19a
Psalm: Psalm 111
Epistle: 2 Timothy 2:1-13
Gospel: Luke 17:11-19
THEME FOR WORSHIP
In the Gospel text today, we read St. Luke’s well-known account of Jesus’ interactions with ten lepers. “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” they cried out. Jesus mercifully healed these men, yet only one returned to Jesus in worship and thankfulness.
You & I are also outcasts from God, horribly sick with sin, a condition far worse than leprosy or any other earthly disease. We cry out also, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” Jesus does indeed mercifully forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What is our response to God’s great mercy to us?
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4
Psalm: Psalm 62
Epistle: 2Timothy 1:1-14
Gospel: Luke 17:1-10
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Today we stand at our watch-post with God’s prophet Habakkuk: “…how long shall we cry…, …and You not hear?” Yet, God always hears our cries, even when it seems not. Directly and in His perfect timing, today God speaks into our immediate neighborhood where evil presses so near to us.
In today’s Epistle reading, God encourages us through Paul’s second letter to young Timothy. God reminds you of the sincere faith He’s given to you and which dwells in you. God encourages you to fan your faith into flames, giving you power to press onward without fear against the evil around you.
