Readings Feb 23 to March 2

We are at the end of February already!  This week we finish another book, 1 Corinthians, and start Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. In these final chapters of 1 Corinthians we have Paul writing to deal with a number of issues of orderly worship and conduct in the Corinthian church as well as giving some insightful teaching on the resurrection in Chapter 15.  But all his exhortations and teaching are underpinned by the passage on love in Chapter 13.  In the first two chapters of 2 Corinthians we have Paul writing in more conciliatory tones to the church and his fatherly concern and love for them shows through.

Our Old Testament readings continue in Numbers with the journey of the Israelites under Moses towards the Promised Land.  All does not go smoothly though as the people rebel against Moses, enemies attack them, and snakes plague them but eventually they arrive on the banks of the River Jordan within sight of their goal. Quite a journey!
