Today Pastor Glen Thomas looks at the readings for Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. These assigned Scripture lessons include God’s gracious invitation to His heavenly banquet (Is. 55:1-5), Paul’s lament over his people’s rejection of Jesus as the Messiah (Rom. 9:1-13), and Jesus feeding 5,000 men with just five loaves of bread and two fish.
