November 24, 2024

Our Lectionary texts for this Sunday are 1 Samuel 23:1-7; Psalm 93; Revelation 1:4-8, 19-25; John 18:33-37.

One of the most important titles for God in the Book of Revelation is "the Almighty." New Testament scholar G. B. Caird says this term is one of several translations of the Old Testament phrase Yahweh Sebaoth--"Lord of hosts."

"But like all other Old Testament terms John uses it with a difference; for he has learned from Christ that the omnipotence of God is not the power of unlimited coercion but the power of invincible love."         

We will gather for a Thanksgiving meal on Sunday, November 24 after the morning service. What a wonderful opportunity for fellowship. If you good bring some side dishes and deserts (pecan pie?), that would be great!
