Psalm 34 | Background

I will bless the Lord at all times;

God delivered me from all my terror;

God saved me; taste and see that the Lord is good.

I will teach you about God.

Do good and pursue peace.

Acts 2 | Background

Peter - Listen to me, Jesus did wondrous things, you killed him, but God raised him up; David died; Jesus was raised as we witnessed it; God has made Jesus both Lord and Messiah.

Luke 20 | Background

Jesus - How can they say that the Messiah be David’s son but even David said Jesus was his Lord? Watch out for the scribes and Pharisees (the overly religious); the widow gave all she had to the work of the Lord.

Today | Collect of the Day: Pentecost 2 | Proper 6*

Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.

For Social Justice

Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
