Readings March 24-30

We are almost at the end of March but still winter drags on!  This week in our Old Testament readings we start a new book, Joshua,  This book tells the story of Israel entering the Promised Land at long last with Joshua as their leader.

In the Psalms we have four psalms of David which cover different life situations and appeals to God.
     
We also complete Paul's letter to the Ephesians with the final two chapters giving advice on relationships and that wonderful section on the armor of God.

In addition we read an entire book in one day! It is Paul's letter to Philemon about his runaway slave Onesimus and how faith in Christ has changed that relationship.

Towards the end of the week we start our readings in our second gospel Luke with the birth stories of John the Baptist and Jesus.

Quite a variety of readings this week!  The Bible is made up of books of all different types.

  1. I have always loved the story of Onesimus, whose name means "Useful." I can't think of a more desirable nickname for a Christian servant. Ann Carter
