This weeks readings:
Take time to mediate on God’s word and prepare for worship this Sunday.
Ezekiel 18: 25-32
Psalm 25:1-8
Philippians 2:1-11
Matthew 21:23-32
Psalm 25: 4-7
Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love,
for they are from everlasting.
Remember not the sins of my youth
and my transgressions;
remember me according to your love
and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.
In worshipping God, we must lift up our souls to him. It is certain that none who, by a believing attendance, wait on God, and, by a believing hope, wait for him, shall be ashamed of it. The most advanced believer both needs and desires to be taught of God. If we sincerely desire to know our duty, with resolution to do it, we may be sure that God will direct us in it. The psalmist is earnest for the pardon of his sins. When God pardons sin, he is said to remember it no more, which denotes full remission. It is God’s goodness, and not ours, his mercy, and not our merit, that must be our plea for the pardon of sin, and all the good we need. This plea we must rely upon, feeling our own unworthiness, and satisfied of the riches of God’s mercy and grace. How boundless is that mercy which covers for ever the sins and follies of a youth spent without God and without hope! Blessed be the Lord, the blood of the great Sacrifice can wash away every stain. (MATTHEW HENRY COMMENTARY)
Getting COMPLETE October 2-5, 2014, Kutztown, PA
Getting COMPLETE! is the new work from playwright Santo D. Marabella. Bullying, and its impact, doesn’t end in school. This is the story of what happens when the bully grows up. Jo-Jo the bully, now Jo the adult, is on a quest to take responsibility and make amends. The only question: are the bully’s victims ready to get complete as well? All Souls and Reading Pride are both sponsors of this play – we think its something you will want to see if you can.
