The Lectionary According to the Christian Seasons

Jeremiah 17:5-8 

5 Thus saith the LORD: "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm, 
and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, 
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 

7 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, 
and whose hope the LORD is. 
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, 
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, 
and shall not see when heat cometh, 
but her leaf shall be green; 
and shall not be disquieted in the year of drought, 
neither shall cease from yielding fruit." 

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful;
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on His law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous,
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

1 Corinthians 15:12-20 

12 Now if Christ is preached, that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 and if Christ be not risen, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up, if so it be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is Christ not raised; 17 and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of those who slept. 

Words of Worship - Luke 6:23a

Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven;

Luke 6:12-26

12 And it came to pass in those days that He went out onto a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called unto Him His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostles: 14 Simon (whom He also named Peter), and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot, 16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot who also was the traitor.

17 And He came down with them and stood on the plain with the company of His disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, 18 and those who were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for there went virtue out of Him and healed them all.

20 And He lifted up His eyes on His disciples and said,

"Blessed be ye poor,
for yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now,
for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now,
for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you,
and when they shall separate you from their company,
and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven;
for in like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 "But woe unto you that are rich,
for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full,
for ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now,
for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you,
for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Words of Wisdom - Ecclesiastes 3:22

Therefore I perceived that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his portion; for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
