Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, July 27th Lay Ministry Associate, Dr. John Sheppard, preaching/presiding
Readings for Sunday, July 27th --
  • Genesis 18:20-32 -- In Sunday's reading, Abraham undertakes the role of a mediator between God and sinful humanity. Appealing to God's justice, Abraham boldly asks for mercy for the city of Sodom for the sake of the few righteous people there, including Abraham's nephew, Lot.
  • Psalm 138 --  Your steadfast love endures forever; do not abandon the works of your hands.
  • Colossians 2:6-15 -- The writer of this letter warns the congregation in Colossae about "the empty lure" of philosophies and traditions that compromise faith. Through the gift of faith, the church is mystically connected with Christ in his death and resurrection, which is enacted in baptism.
  • Luke 11:1-13 -- In teaching his disciples this prayer, Jesus also reminds them to focus on God's coming reign, God's mercy, and the strengthening of the community. Jesus encourages his disciples to child-like trust and persistence in prayer.
