Highlights of the lessons for Sunday July 11, when next I preach

What questions, curiosities, or thoughts do you have?

A lawyer asks Jesus Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus turns the question back to him and elicits the great commandment. Then in response to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, ending with the question, “Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

Paul writes to the saints at Colossae and says, “we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. “

Amos has a vision of God holding a plumb line in the midst of Israel and prophesies before the King, foretelling the exile.

In Psalm 84 God says,
"How long will you judge unjustly, *
and show favor to the wicked?
Save the weak and the orphan; *
defend the humble and needy;
Rescue the weak and the poor; *
deliver them from the power of the wicked.
