The Lectionary According to the Christian Seasons

2 Corinthians 9:6-10

6 But this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he who soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 As every man purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or out of compulsion; for God loveth the cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:

"He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor;
his righteousness remaineth for ever."

10 Now may He that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 

Psalm 112

1 Praise ye the LORD!
Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon the earth;
the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house,
and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness;
he is gracious and full of compassion and righteous.
5 A good man showeth favor and lendeth;
he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved forever;
the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings;
his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established;
he shall not be afraid until he sees his desires upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

10 The wicked shall see it and be grieved, he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away;
the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Words of Worship - John 8:12b

"I am the Light of the world. He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

John 12:24-26

24 Verily, verily I say unto you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be. If any man serve Me, him will My Father honor.

Words of Wisdom - Proverbs 24:1-2

Be thou not envious of evil men, 
neither desire to be with them; 
for their heart studieth destruction, 
and their lips talk of mischief.
