Day 41 - Be a Blessing!

-

Prayer Suggestion |
Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that we
who celebrate with awe the Paschal feast
may be found worthy to attain everlasting
joys; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.

Edwards has asked us to read
1 Thessalonians.


My Thoughts on Today’s Session -

Using New Oxford Annotated Bible 5th Edition
Notes. Paul continues ...


Paul sends Timothy to build their faith during

the persecutions. Timothy has brought good
news about their deepening faith despite the
times. Paul prays for them continuously in
order to face any challenges. 

Paul blesses them

  • May God direct your ways

  • May you grow in love with one
    another and for all

  • Strengthen your hearts in
    holiness

  • Be blameless before God at
    the second coming of Jesus


How are you a blessing to others?


Invite your friends to our journey.
Happy Eastertide!


In Christ,

Dave Eitland

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each pe...

Parables - New Wineskins

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires...
