Readings for the Week of October 30, 2016


The readings this week will set the context for the first passages shared during Sunday’s readings.

Sun., Oct. 30: Proverbs 13 :24; Colossians 3 : 18-24; Matthew 18 : 1-14

Mon., Oct. 31: Proverbs 10-These are the sayings of Solomon.  They begin here and will continue through chapter 13 and beyond.

Tus., Nov. 1: Proverbs 13-This is a continued sampling of the book of Proverbs.  Full of pithy statements, aphorisms, and clichés, it sometimes reads like the collected bumper stickers of the bible.  The chapter begins with another statement about child raising.

Wed., Nov. 2: Colossians 1-Paul begins his letter to the church in Colossae.

Thu., Nov. 3: Colossians 2-This chapter continues with encouragement and Paul’s hopes for the church in Christ.

Fri., Nov. 4: Colossians 3-This chapter begins by talking about the new life in Christ, ends with the apparent restrictions of life in Christ.  Can these mesh?

Sat., Nov. 5: Matthew 18-Jesus speaks to the true calling to be His followers.
