Weekly Nurture Devotion

October 26: Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost

Read Joel 2:23-32

Dreams are possibilities and ideas about what could be. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech illustrates the importance of a dream in shaping life for both individuals and communities. According to Joel, such dreams are gifts from God and therefore should be worked with and valued. What is a dream that you have for your own life and for the life of the world?

Worship -October 26 at 10:00 am

We welcome you to in-person or online worship services in the Sanctuary on 

Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 10:00 am.   

The Rev. Dr. Patricia Jarvis  will be at the pulpit this Sunday.  The Sermon is 

“ Living Stones ” . 

  

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION 

 Lord God, let us keep your Scriptures in mind and meditate on them day and night, persevering in prayer, always on watch. We beg you, Lord, to give us real knowledge of what we read and to show us not only how to understand it but how to put it into practice and to obtain spiritual grace enlightened by the law of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord, whose power and glory will endure throughout all ages.     Amen. 

   

SCRIPTURE                              I Peter 2:1-10       

Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.  Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and  like living stones let yourselves be built] into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.  For it stands in scripture: “See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”  This honor, then, 

is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner,”  and “A stone that makes them stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.  But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

THE WORD OF THE LORD!

Thanks be to God!
