PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Jesus, don’t give up on me when I fall short of having the same mind as you. Forgive me, correct me, and challenge me to strive to have the same mind as you. Amen.
(adapted from BWC Adventure Guide, Sept. 2011-Aug. 2012)

NOTES ON THE SCRIPTURE
Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15 - Jeremiah buys land in Jerusalem during the siege while he was imprisoned. This was a pledge and prophetic sign that "houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land."

​Psalm 91:9-16 - This psalm offers the reader a straightforward and thorough expression of trust in the providence and protection of God, even and especially under trying or dangerous conditions, and does so using as rich and powerful a set of images as are found anywhere in the Bible. (Matthew Smith)
​
1 Timothy 6:6-19 - Paul calls on Timothy not to pursue riches but to be content with the abundant grace and supply of God, whatever that may be. What he should pursue is "righteousness, godliness, endurance, faith, love and gentleness," and to teach the rich in the Christian communities around Ephesus to do likewise.
​
Luke 16:19-31 -  Jesus tells the story of a nameless rich man and beggar named Lazarus.
