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


Today’s Reading: Psalm 98:7-9 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
in the past I have dreaded your judgment,
but now I recognize your goodness.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
I want to see this world
set right through your power and grace.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

The apostles gathered around Jesus
and reported to him all they had done and taught. 
Then, because so many people were coming and going
that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, 
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 
But many who saw them leaving recognized them
and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd,
he had compassion on them,
because they were like sheep without a shepherd. 
So he began teaching them many things.


By this time it was late in the day,
so his disciples came to him.
“This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late.
 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside
and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”

They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages!
Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”

When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 
So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven,
he gave thanks and broke the loaves. 
Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people.
He also divided the two fish among them all. 
They all ate and were satisfied,
 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 
The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
(Mark 6:30-44).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 
Calling the Twelve to him,
 he began to send them out two by two 
and gave them authority over impure spirits.

These were his instructions: 
“Take nothing for the journey except a staff—
no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.
 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt.
 Whenever you enter a house,
stay there until you leave that town.
 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you,
leave that place
and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

They went out and preached that people should repent.
 They drove out many demons
and anointed many sick people
with oil and healed them.
(Mark 6:7-13).

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

 

LORD God,
it is my prayer
that all people will see your glory
and bow before you,
the magnificent King of Righteousness.
Extend your reign I pray.

Amen.

Gospel Reading:
A Prophet Without Honor

Jesus left there and went to his hometown,
accompanied by his disciples. 
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue,
 and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked.
“What’s this wisdom that has been given him?
What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?
 Isn’t this the carpenter?
Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon?
Aren’t his sisters here with us?”
And they took offense at him.

 Jesus said to them, 
“A prophet is not without honor except in his own town,
among his relatives and in his own home.” 
He could not do any miracles there,
except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
(Mark 6:1-6).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Calms the Storm

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, 
“Let us go over to the other side.”
 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along,
just as he was, in the boat. 
There were also other boats with him.
 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat,
so that it was nearly swamped. 
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion.
The disciples woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,
 “Quiet! Be still!” 
Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

 He said to his disciples,
 “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

They were terrified and asked each other,
“Who is this?
Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
(Mark 4:35-41).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields,
and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain,
rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.
Some of the Pharisees asked,
“Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”

Jesus answered them,
“Have you never read what David did
when he and his companions were hungry?
He entered the house of God,
and taking the consecrated bread,
he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat.
And he also gave some to his companions.” 
Then Jesus said to them,
“The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching,
and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. 
The Pharisees and the teachers of the law
were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus,
so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. 
But Jesus knew what they were thinking
and said to the man with the shriveled hand,
“Get up and stand in front of everyone.” 
So he got up and stood there.

Then Jesus said to them, 
“I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath:
to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”

He looked around at them all,
and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” 
He did so, and his hand was completely restored. 
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious
and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
(Luke 6:1-11).

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us:

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Questioned About Fasting

They said to him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray,
and so do the disciples of the Pharisees,
but yours go on eating and drinking.”

Jesus answered,
“Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;
in those days they will fast.”

He told them this parable:
“No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one.
Otherwise,
they will have torn the new garment,
and the patch from the new will not match the old.
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins;
the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say,
‘The old is better.’”
(Luke 5:33-39).

and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law
who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples,
“Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
 I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.”

Today’s Reading: Psalm 93(NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I want your holiness to adorn my house and my heart.
Help me to conform to your will and your ways,
rather than the other way around.
You are my Lord.
Reign on sovereign LORD.
Reign in glorious majesty.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man

One day Jesus was teaching,
and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there.
They had come from every village of Galilee
and from Judea and Jerusalem.
And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. 
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat
and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 
When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd,
they went up on the roof
and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd,
right in front of Jesus.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said,
“Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves,
“Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy?
Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked,
“Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
 Which is easier: to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say,
‘Get up and walk’?
But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”
So he said to the paralyzed man,
“I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”
Immediately he stood up in front of them,
took what he had been lying on and went home praising God.
 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God.
They were filled with awe and said,
“We have seen remarkable things today.”
(Luke 5:17-26).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy

While Jesus was in one of the towns,
a man came along who was covered with leprosy.
When he saw Jesus,
he fell with his face to the ground and begged him,
“Lord, if you are willing,
you can make me clean.”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.
“I am willing,” he said.
 “Be clean!”
And immediately the leprosy left him.

Then Jesus ordered him,
“Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest
and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,
as a testimony to them.”

Yet the news about him spread all the more,
so that crowds of people came to hear him
and to be healed of their sicknesses.
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
(Luke 5:12-16).
