Make a commitment this season after Pentecost to read scripture each day. It's a good practice. If you don’t already have a daily devotion, the scriptures below are designed to expand the range of biblical reading in worship and personal devotion. You can find them in the bulletin each week. The Daily Readings are taken from “The Daily Office Lectionary” in The Book of Common Prayer. Read the Bible each week. It will be a blessing.
Monday - Psalms 56 - 58, 64, 65; 1 Kings 21:1-16; 1 Cor. 1:1-19; Matt. 4:1-11
Tuesday - Psalms 61, 62, 68:1-36; 1 Kings 21:17-29; 1 Cor. 1:20-31; Matt. 4:12-17
Wednesday - Psalms 72, 119:73-96; 1 Kings 22:1-28; 1 Cor. 2:1-13; Matt. 4:18-25
Thursday - Psalms 70, 71, 74; 1 Kings 22:29-45; 1 Cor. 2:14--3:15; Matt. 5:1-10
