The Lectionary According to the Christian Seasons

1 Corinthians 6:1-11 

1 Dare any of you, having a complaint against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments to make on things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church! 5 I speak to shame you! Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, no, not one, who shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers! 7 Now therefore, there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one against another. Why do ye not rather accept wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong and defraud, and that your own brethren! 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Psalm 149

1 Praise ye the LORD!
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise in the congregation of saints!

2 Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him;
let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise His name in the dance;
let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a twoedged sword in their hand
7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen,
and punishments upon the people;
8 to bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 to execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all His saints.
Praise ye the LORD!

Words of Worship - John 15:16b

I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain,

Luke 6:12-19

12 And it came to pass in those days that He went out onto a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, He called unto Him His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom also He named apostles: 14 Simon (whom He also named Peter), and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot, 16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot who also was the traitor.

17 And He came down with them and stood on the plain with the company of His disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, 18 and those who were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for there went virtue out of Him and healed them all.

Words of Wisdom - Ecclesiasticus 33:24

Fodder, a wand, and burdens are for the ass; 
and bread, correction, and work for a servant.

Jesus Speaks Morals & Values - Matthew 18:23-35

 "Therefore is the Kingdom of Heaven likened unto a certain king who would settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents. But inasmuch as he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and did homage to him, saying, `Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.' Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred pence. And he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, `Pay me what thou owest.' And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, `Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.' And he would not, but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after he had called him, said unto him, `O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?' And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother's trespasses."
