We gather today as Gods beloved children to worship our Heavenly Father. We praise his
holy name, we listen eagerly for his words of comfort, hope, and challenge to us, and we
offer ourselves to him in dedicated service. May you be blessed as you worship here today.
St. Paul Lutheran Church is a congrega-

advised and influenced a small group of
pioneer settlers that wanted to establish a
congregation in the area. This year we
celebrate 162 years of life and ministry in this
beautiful country setting in Southern Indiana.
We look forward to many more years of
growth and change as we seek continually to
be faithful to Gods call to mission.

Nineteenth Sunday of Easter
Jesus' summary of the law in today's gospel echoes our first reading
from Leviticus. We are called not only to love God with heart, soul,
and mind, but also to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is out of
such deep care that Paul shares the gospel with the Thessalonian
community. In the confession of sins, we acknowledge that we have
not loved God, neighbor, and self; yet we gather to hear the word of
forgiveness and to be strengthened by word and meal to be signs of
God's love and mercy in the world.

Readings for the Day:
Leviticus 19:12, 1518- The holiness code in Leviticus urges
people to be holy because God is holy. Holiness is lived out in
partiality for and consideration of the poor and the weak. We are to
love our neighbors as ourselves. God's people exercise justice and
love in their dealings with one another.

1 Thessalonians 2:18- Paul uses maternal imagery to depict the
caring and nurturing relationship he shares with the Thessalonian
Christians. When he first came to their city it was not to benefit
himself but to share the gospel with them, which was his
responsibility as an apostle of Christ.

Matthew 22:3446- Put on the spot by the Pharisees, Jesus
displays wisdom by summarizing the law of God in just two
commandments and by demonstrating the Messiah must be more
than the son of David.

Going Deeper
The purpose of this page is to provide a tool or instrument for your spiritual growth. This page
contains a brief synopsis of the readings as well as some questions for your reflection to help you go
deeper with the Word. On the back is a day by day listing of scripture readings with possible prayer
request. Individuals are listed on their day of birthso that you might pray for them on their birthday.
Also on the back is the prayer list for the congregation. Keep on Growing Spiritually!!

Readings for the Day:

I John 1:1-4: The opening of this letter serves as a reality check.
The reality of God is light, but our confessed reality has been sin.
This should lead to testifying about Jesus and having fellowship
with Him.

John 1:14-16: Johns gospel describes Jesus as the Word
becoming flesh and dwelling among us. John the Baptist is
presented as a witness to Jesus, one who directs attention away
from himself to Christ.

From Sunday & Seasons, copyright 2014 Augsburg Fortress


Questions To Ponder:
1Why was the letter of I John written?
2How is this section of the letter connected to the Gospel
according to John?
3What is the importance of testifying about God?
4What does it mean to have fellowship with God?
5 How do you experience joy?
