Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, September 7th --
Readings for Sunday, September 7th --
  • Deuteronomy 30:15-20 -- Moses speaks to the Israelites, who are about to enter the land promised to their ancestors. In this passage, he lays out the stark choice before them: choose life by loving and obeying the Lord; or choose death by following other gods.
  • Psalm 1-- They are like trees planted by streams of water. (Ps. 1:3)
  • Philemon 1-21 -- While Paul was in prison, he was aided by Onesimus, a man who had run away from Philemon, a slaveowner and a Christian friend of Paul. Paul told Onesimus to return to Philemon and encouraged Philemon to receive Onesimus back as a Christian brother.
  • Luke 14:25-33 -- Jesus speaks frankly about the costs of discipleship. Those who follow him should know from the outset that completing the course of discipleship will finally mean renouncing all other allegiences.
