Scripture Readings
Old Testament
ESV
Jeremiah 28:5-9
5
Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests
and all the people who were standing in the
house of the LORD,6 and the prophet Jeremiah
said, "Amen! May the LORD do so; may the
LORD make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place
from Babylon the vessels of the house of the
LORD, and all the exiles.7 Yet hear now this
word that I speak in your hearing and in the
hearing of all the people.8 The prophets who
preceded you and me from ancient times
prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against
many countries and great kingdoms.9 As for the
prophet who prophesies peace, when the word
of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be
known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet."
Epistle
ESV
Romans 7:1-13
Or do you not know, brothers- for I am speaking to those who know the law- that the law is
binding on a person only as long as he lives?2
Thus a married woman is bound by law to her
husband while he lives, but if her husband dies
she is released from the law of marriage.3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she
lives with another man while her husband is
alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from
that law, and if she marries another man she is
not an adulteress.4 Likewise, my brothers, you
also have died to the law through the body of
Christ, so that you may belong to another, to
him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.5 For while
we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions,
aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.6 But now we are
released from the law, having died to that
which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of
the Spirit. 7 What then shall we say? That the
law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been
for the law, I would not have known sin. I would
not have known what it is to covet if the law had
not said, "You shall not covet."8 But sin, seizing
an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart
from the law, sin lies dead.9 I was once alive
apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.10 The
very commandment that promised life proved to
be death to me.11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me
and through it killed me.
12
So the law is holy, and the commandment is
holy and righteous and good.13 Did that which is
good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It
was sin, producing death in me through what is
good, in order that sin might be shown to be
sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
Gospel
34
ESV
Matthew 10:34-42
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace
to the earth. I have not come to bring peace,
but a sword.35 For I have come to set a man
against his father, and a daughter against her
mother, and a daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law.36 And a person's enemies will be
those of his own household.
37
Whoever loves father or mother more than
me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son
or daughter more than me is not worthy of
me.38 And whoever does not take his cross and
follow me is not worthy of me.39 Whoever finds
his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for
my sake will find it.40 "Whoever receives you
receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will
receive a prophet's reward, and the one who
receives a righteous person because he is a
righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.42 And whoever gives one of these
little ones even a cup of cold water because he
is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no
means lose his reward."

Life Quote
Online Bible Study
Youth Event
“Father’s Day has come and
gone … If you were able, did
you take your Dad out to
dinner? Did you give him a
card or talk to him on the
phone? Fathers are intended
to be blessings from God.
They are to be His
representatives in protecting,
caring for, and leading the
family. They are to bring up
their children ‘in the training
and
instruction
of
the
Lord’ (Ephesians 6:4 NIV). It
is God pleasing, therefore, to
honor them for the role they
have been given.” Daily

Recently we found out about
a
hassle-free
fundraiser
called Shoparoo.
All you
need to do is take pictures of
your grocery receipts with the
Shoparoo app made for your
smartphone.
It doesn’t
matter where you shop or
what you buy—every receipt
submitted results in a
donation to our school.
Receipts may come from any
store that sells groceries
such as convenience stores,
grocery
stores,
SAMS,
Market Day, etc.
So, what are you waiting
for? Simply download the
free app from Apple App
Store or the Google play
Store
by
searching
“shoparoo” and then select
our school as your chosen
cause. Since there is no limit
to how much money we can
raise with Shoparoo, be sure
to invite your friends and
neighbors to join in—every
receipt counts! If you don’t
have a SMART phone, we
can still use your receipts!
We have a container in the
office that we are using to
collect receipts that can be
scanned and will add to our
total donation. Thank you to
everyone who has joined
Shoparoo!
