Today Pastor Kevin Thomson looks at the readings for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. This week in our study of God's Word we consider the seriousness of sin. Furthermore, we are to consider our role in loving our neighbor by sharing God's Word with them.

Today Pastor Tanner Wade looks at the readings for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. Focusing on the Epistle Lesson from Romans 12, we look at the readings for the upcoming week of August 30th. In Romans Paul reminds us as Christians, that in view of God’s mercy we are called to live out the kindness and love that God first showed to us, even when what God calls us to do goes against our “natural human reaction”.

Today Pastor Glen Thomas looks at the readings for Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. In the assigned Scripture lessons for Aug. 23, Isaiah predicts a great rescue for God’s people, Paul encourages God’s people to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, and Peter confesses Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Today Pastor Tanner Wade looks at the readings for Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. In the four lessons assigned for the following week, a consistent theme presents itself throughout the lessons. That God’s plan of Salvation for His people includes those “foreigners” (as Is. 56 says) being joined to those God has claimed as His own. Paul in Romans 11 reminds us of that fact, and the joy we should have when those who would reject Christ turn from their rejection and embrace their life in Him.

Today Glen Thomas looks at the readings for August 9, the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. In Job 38, God contrasts His power and knowledge with the lack of power and knowledge possessed by Job and his friends. In Romans 10, Paul emphasizes how God creates saving faith through the Word of God, a faith that is believed in the heart and confessed with the mouth. In the Gospel lesson, Jesus allows the disciples to see His divine nature as He walks on water.

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.

Today Pastor Paul Sieveking looks at the readings for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. This week’s lessons all proclaim God’s grace, His undeserved love for His people. They assure us that our God has loved us from before time began, in the present, and into the future eternity. He has claimed us as His holy people, His treasured possessions. He invested the life of His Son to redeem us. Now there is nothing in all creation that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Today Pastor Glen Thomas looks at the readings for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. In the Old Testament lesson, God testifies that He is the only true God and that there is no other God. In the Epistle, we hear Paul look ahead to the glory that will accompany the Second Coming of Christ and how the sufferings of this world are not worth comparing to the glory of that day. In the Gospel lesson, we hear Christ in the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, speak clearly about the reality of judgment to come, bad news for unbelievers, but glorious news for the righteous.

Today Pastor Tanner Wade looks at the readings for The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, Series A in the Three Year Lectionary. We look at the lectionary readings for the weekend of July 4th and 5th, in it we find that though sinful we are a people of hope, a people that has received the gracious gift of a Savior in Christ Jesus. In particular, Zechariah 9 points out who the Messiah will be and what He will bring to the Earth, our Gospel reading from Matthew 11 proclaims the Good News of the rest that is found only in Christ as that promised Messiah, and our Epistle reading of Romans 7 points out that while we may not do that which we desire to do in accordance to God’s will, thanks be to God that He has delivered us from the body of death through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
