The Lectionary According to the Christian Seasons

Acts 16:1-10

1 Then Paul came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a certain woman who was a Jewess who believed, but whose father was a Greek. 2 He was well reported of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium. 3 Him Paul wanted to have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those quarters, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees to keep, that had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. 5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the Word in Asia. 7 After they had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered permit not. 8 And passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: there stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him, saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us." 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Gospel unto them.

Psalm 100

1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing!
3 Know ye that the LORD, He is God;
it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people,
and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise!
Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name!
5 For the LORD is good, His mercy is everlasting;
and His truth endureth to all generations.

Words of Worship - Colossians 3:1

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.

John 15:18-21

18 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you: `The servant is not greater than his lord.' If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for My name's sake, because they know not Him that sent Me. 

Words of Wisdom - Proverbs 16:5

Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; 
though they join hands, they shall not go unpunished.

"If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a
stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall
ask for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly
Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"
