For Next Week: Nazareth Sermon
READ: Matthew 13:54-58; Mark 6:1-6; Luke 4:16-30
PRAY: Pray in thanksgiving for your family and neighbors, and ask for God’s blessings on them, even (and especially) those who it might be hard to love at times.
DO: Bring good news to the poor by being a voice for them. Contact an organization like the ELCA Hunger Appeal or Bread for the World to find out how you can write letters to advocate for the poor. Listen for when in worship this phrase from Luke 4:18 is used. What does this mean for our act of worship?
