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”.
