8th Sunday after Pentecost                                                   Sunday, July 31, 2022

7/31/2022

 
​ Scripture: 
  • Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14; 2:18-23  - Search out wisdom, for all is vanity
  • Psalm 49:1-12
  • Colossians 3:1-11  - Clothed in Christ, your life is hidden with him in God
  • Luke 12:13-21 - Jesus says: Be on guard against greed; be rich toward God, your treasure
 ​
​Introduction: Today’s texts offer instruction and encouragement for all who are occasionally overwhelmed by the “unhappy business” of life. Jesus urges us to take care and be on guard against all kinds of greed. We who have died with Christ in holy baptism have also been raised with him and are encouraged to elevate our thinking, seeking the “things that are above.” To that end we seek the sustenance of the Lord’s supper and the encouragement of God’s word.

​ Scripture:
  • Ruth 1:6-18
  • Psalm 73:23-28

6th Sunday After Pentecost                                                  Sunday, July 17, 2022

7/17/2022

 
 Scripture: 
  • Genesis 18:1-10a
  • Psalm 15
  • Colossians 1:15-28
  • Luke 10:38-42: Jesus says: Martha, your sister Mary has chosen the better part

 ​​Introduction: 
 Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word that gives life. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the word of life.

5th Sunday after Pentecost                                                   Sunday, July 10, 2022

7/10/2022

 
 Scripture: Read online
  • Deuteronomy 30:9-14--The Lord will take delight in your fruitfulness
  • Psalm 25:1-10--Show me your ways, O Lord, and teach me your paths. (Ps. 25:4)
  • Colossians 1:1-14--The gospel is growing, bearing fruit in the whole world
  • Luke 10:25-37--The parable of the merciful Samaritan
 ​
​Introduction: To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind is to reflect God’s mercy in responding to one’s neighbor. That mercy found its most profound expression in the “gospel that has come to you”—namely the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That gospel mercy comes to us again today: at the font, at the table, and from the pulpit. It is very near to you.

4th Sunday after Pentecost                                                    Sunday, July 3, 2022

7/3/2022

 
 Scripture:
  • Isaiah 66:10-14: Jerusalem, a nursing mother giving life to her children
  • Psalm 66:1-9: All the earth bows down before you and sings out your name. (Ps. 66:4)
  • Galatians 6:[1-6] 7-16: Do what is right now and reap at the harvest time
  • Luke 10:1-11, 16-20: Jesus sends out seventy disciples into the harvest

 ​​Introduction: God is the source of our nourishment. Jesus’ invitation to “take and eat . . . take and drink” is a repeated one. In holy communion, in the word read and proclaimed, in the assembly of the people of God, the dominion of God has come near. Rejoice! Your name is written in heaven.
