Scripture Readings
Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” Almighty God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word from above. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, with Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the words of life.
Genesis 18:1-10a
The hospitality of Abraham and Sarah to three visitors of the Lord
The Lord visits Abraham and Sarah to tell them that the long—awaited promise of the birth of a child will be fulfilled for them in their old age.
Psalm 15
Lord, who may abide upon your holy hill?
Colossians 1:15-28
Hymn to Christ, the firstborn of all creation
Sometimes Paul preaches with great attention to theological concepts. Here, however, Paul offers a mystical teaching, that the great mystery of God is “Christ in you.” Because Christ is present in the church, Christians share in his life, suffering, and glory.
Luke 10:38-42
Jesus says: Martha, your sister Mary has chosen the better part
Jesus uses his visit to two sisters as an occasion to remind disciples that an important aspect of obedience is singleminded devotion to Jesus and his word.
