*Call to Worship: Psalm 27 NIV
1 The Lord is my light and my
salvation;whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When
evildoers assail me to devour my flesh—my adversaries and foes—they
shall stumble and fall.3 Though
an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise
up against me,
yet I will be confident. 4 One
thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of
the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.5 For
he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will
conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a
rock. 6 Now my
head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer
in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make
melody to the Lord.7 Hear, O
Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
8 “Come,” my heart says, “seek his
face!” Your face, Lord, do I seek.9 Do
not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger,
who have been my help. Do not cast me off, do not forsake me, O God
of my salvation! 10 If my father
and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on
a level path because of my enemies. 12 Do
not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses
have risen against me, and they are breathing out violence.
13 I believe that I shall see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait
for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for
the Lord!
1st Reading: Genesis 18:1-14 NIV
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham,by the oaks,of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. 2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground. 3 He said, “My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures,of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.” 7 Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. 8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. 9 They said to him, “Where is your wife Sarah?” And he said, “There, in the tent.” 10 Then one said, “I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” 13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son.”
2nd Reading: Colossians 1:21-29 NIV
21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him— 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel. 24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its servant according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.
*The Gospel: Luke 10:38-42 NIV
38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
