This Week in the Scripture
15th Sunday after Pentecost

 

First Lesson Amos 8:4-7
Psalm Psalm 113
Second Lesson 1 Timothy 2:1-7

Gospel Luke 16:1-13
  
God among us, we gather in the name of your Son to learn love for one another. Keep our feet from evil paths. Turn our minds to your wisdom and our hearts to the grace revealed in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
If you are reading this on-line, the text above in blue will take you to the readings shown provided by Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library.
As we are invited today to consider what it means to be managers (rather than owners) of all that we have, it is crucial to recall that we are bought with a price. "Christ Jesus, himself human,  --- gave himself a ransom for all."  Apart from the generosity of God, we have nothing ---we are nothing. By God's gracious favor we have everything we need.

First Day of Fall September 23rd
Commemorated September 21

Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist

 
Matthew ("Levi" in the gospels of Mark and Luke) was a tax collector for the Roman government in Capernaum.  Tax collectors were distrusted because they were dishonest and worked as agents for a foreign ruler, the occupying Romans.  In the gospels, tax collectors are mentioned as sinful and despised outcasts, but it was these outcasts to whom Jesus showed his love.  Matthew's name means "gift of the Lord."  Since the second century, tradition has attributed the first gospel to him.

Lutheran Disaster Response
2019 Hurricane Response

The situation:
Hurricane Dorian has hit the Bahamas with devastating force, leading to major damage and a growing number of reported deaths. The storm is now moving along the southeastern coast of the United States, threatening our neighbors with dangerous winds and life-threatening storm surge.

Our response:
Lutheran Disaster Response is in communication with the Florida-Bahamas Synod, the South Carolina Synod, the North Carolina Synod, Lutheran Services Carolinas and other partners who are preparing to respond. We are ready to stand by our neighbors as they recover from this hurricane and any others the 2019 season may bring.

What you can do: 
Pray 
Please pray for people who have been affected by hurricanes. May God's healing presence give them peace and hope in their time of need. 

Give 
Your gifts designated for “Hurricane Response” will be used entirely (100 percent) for direct response until it is complete. Together, we can help provide immediate and long-lasting support for those whose lives have been impacted by hurricanes.

O GOD, look with compassion on the one in seven Americans who face hunger in this country.  Preserve their dignity as they struggle to get enough to eat.  May those looking for jobs find new opportunities to earn a living.  May those who are unable to work be supported and sustained by their communities.  Lord, in your mercy.
