January Assignments Calendar


Prayer Suggestion: 

God of ages, in your sight nations rise and fall and

pass through times of peril. Now when our land is

troubled, be near to judge and to save.  May leaders

be led by your wisdom; may they search for your will

and see it clearly. In anyways we have turned from

your way, help us to reverse them. Give us your light

and your truth to guide us; through Jesus Christ,

who is Lord of this world, and our Savior. Amen.


  • By the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of

  • Washington National Cathedral, and the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington in response to the insurrection at the US Capitol - 010621 - View the full text and video.


Dear Friends in Christ,


Know that there are people praying for you as you do this study of the Word - Emmanuel - God is with us!.


Edwards Key points -

  • John and Peter are teaching in the Temple.

  • Peter heals a lame man through the power of God - giving what Peter can give to the man.

  • The result of healing is more come to have a relationship with Jesus.

  • An estimates 12,000 - 20,000 believers added over the next 6 years.


My Thoughts-

  • Peter doing the ministry of healing is in the context of him going to pray at the Temple. God’s ministry can happen at any time even when we don't plan for it.

  • A lame man is begging and Peter does not give him money but fixes his problem by the power of God. (vs 3:

6-7)

  • The healed man’s reaction is walking and jumping and praising God’s. This is an act of giving thanks. This man can come back fully into humanity as one healed.

  • Peter preaches his second sermon linking Jesus with the heroes of the Jewish faith - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses. God has fulfilled a history of promises through Jesus Christ. (NOAB5 notes)


When is the last time you conveyed the healing power of God to your world?


Be like the healed lame man.



In Christ,

Dear Friends, Grace and peace from our loving God. Let us pray … Kindle in our hearts, O God, the flame of love that never ceases, that it may burn in us, giving light to others. May we shine forever in your temple, raging set on fire with your eternal light, even your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen A Celtic Liturgy - Morning Prayer, p. 21;  Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2008, ed. Today’s Parable - Wineskins / Luke 5:37 Jesus in this scene is having a party with known sinners after the conversion of a tax collector. Some religious people are critical of this action. They point to the disciples of John the Baptist and whose piety is fasting and prayer and why is Jesus not doing it their way. Kendall points to this parable of Jesus as a calling of established and mature religious people to create themselves as new wineskins for new wine. (If you put new wine in old wineskins, it will explode because of fermentation.) The Holy Spirit constantly inspires and

  2024 Read the Bible in a Year April 2, 2024 Tuesday of Easter Week Readings for Today: Day 91 - 1 Chronicles 1:1 - 9:44 See the animated overview of the Chronicles above. Prayer: Loving God, dissolve the barriers of suspicion that divide us from one another. Fill us with your love that casts out fear. Clothe us in your light and grace, that we may be agents of hope and encouragement for those who despair and have lost their way. Help us each find our particular way to proclaim the good news of your saving love in our daily lives and work. We pray that our government and leaders at every level of authority may be strengthened to heal the structures that bruise your people. God, hear our prayers. Amen (All Saints Episcopal Church - Pasadena prayers - 27 Oct 2019 worship) Reflection:  Today’s reading is everything you wanted to know about the genealogy from Adam to the return of leaders from the Exile. It is interesting reading that we can directly follow God's work via each person
