Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”


Today’s Reading: Psalm 78:17-22 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

You are my help, my salvation, and my deliverer.
I praise you for your faithfulness.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus at the Temple

Jesus entered the temple courts
and drove out all who were buying and selling there.
He overturned the tables of the money changers
and the benches of those selling doves.
“It is written,”
he said to them,
“‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’
but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

The blind and the lame came to him at the temple,
and he healed them.
But when the chief priests
and the teachers of the law
saw the wonderful things he did
and the children shouting in the temple courts,
“Hosanna to the Son of David,”
they were indignant.

“Do you hear what these children are saying?”
they asked him.

“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,

“‘From the lips of children and infants
    you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”

And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,
where he spent the night.
(Matthew 21:12-17).

Dear friends,
 if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask, 
because we keep his commands 
and do what pleases him.
(1 John 3:21-22 NIV)

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”


Today’s Reading: Psalm 78:9-16 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage
on the Mount of Olives,
Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them,
“Go to the village ahead of you,
and at once you will find a donkey tied there,
with her colt by her.
Untie them and bring them to me.
If anyone says anything to you,
say that the Lord needs them,
and he will send them right away.”

This took place to fulfill
what was spoken through the prophet:

“Say to Daughter Zion,
    ‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
    and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
They brought the donkey and the colt
and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road,
while others cut branches from the trees
and spread them on the road.
The crowds that went ahead of him
and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

When Jesus entered Jerusalem,
the whole city was stirred and asked,
“Who is this?”

The crowds answered,
“This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
(Matthew 21:1-11).

Dear friends,
 if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask, 
because we keep his commands 
and do what pleases him.

Gospel Reading:
Two Blind Men Receive Sight

As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho,
a large crowd followed him.
Two blind men were sitting by the roadside,
and when they heard that Jesus was going by,
they shouted,
“Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet,
but they shouted all the louder,
“Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”

Jesus stopped and called them.
“What do you want me to do for you?”
he asked.

“Lord,” they answered,
“we want our sight.”

Jesus had compassion on them

and touched their eyes.
Immediately they received their sight
and followed him.
(Matthew 20:29-34).

Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”


Today’s Reading: Psalm 77:16-20 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I am facing some difficult challenges.
Give me the faith and the courage to keep going.
I trust you will bring me through—
through hell and high water
by the power of Jesus.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
A Mother’s Request

Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus
with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.

“What is it you want?” he asked.

She said,
“Grant that one of these two sons of mine
may sit at your right and the other
at your left in your kingdom.”

“You don’t know what you are asking,”
Jesus said to them.
“Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”

“We can,” they answered.

Jesus said to them,
“You will indeed drink from my cup,
but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant.
These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”

When the ten heard about this,
they were indignant with the two brothers.
Jesus called them together and said,
“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Not so with you.

Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
(Matthew 20:20-28).

Dear friends,
 if our hearts do not condemn us,

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem.
On the way,
he took the Twelve aside and said to them,
“We are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be delivered over
to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.
They will condemn him to death
and will hand him over to the Gentiles
to be mocked and flogged and crucified.
On the third day he will be raised to life!”
(Matthew 20:17-19).
