Sunday Event - 2025-11-02
1. My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;
2. for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.
3. Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.
6. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
7. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8. It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.
1. See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
2. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.
3. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
4. Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5. You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
6. No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.
7. Little children, let no one deceive you. Everyone who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
8. Everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
9. Those who have been born of God do not sin, because God’s seed abides in them; they cannot sin, because they have been born of God.
10. The children of God and the children of the devil are revealed in this way: all who do not do what is right are not from God, nor are those who do not love their brothers and sisters. Love One Another
11. For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12. We must not be like Cain who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous.
1. The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. Gaius Commended for His Hospitality
2. Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.
3. I was overjoyed when some of the friends arrived and testified to your faithfulness to the truth, namely how you walk in the truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5. Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you;
6. they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God;
7. for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers.
8. Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become co-workers with the truth. Diotrephes and Demetrius
9. I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.
10. So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with those charges, he refuses to welcome the friends, and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church.
11. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil but imitate what is good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
12. Everyone has testified favorably about Demetrius, and so has the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true. Final Greetings
1. After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
2. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.
3. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.
4. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.
5. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?”
6. He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.
7. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.”
8. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
9. “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”
10. Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all.
11. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
12. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.”
13. So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.
14. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.”
