Approaching the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary time part 2



Where we are heading:


( readings for Sunday 8th September)

Deuteronomy 30.15-20
Psalm 1
Philemon 1-21
Luke 14.25-33


Readings for today

Psalm 1

Deuteronomy 7:12-26 
Colossians 4:7-17 
 
thought for today

These verses from Colossians introduce us to some of the characters that will be referred to on Sunday in the reading from Philemon: Onesimus, Aristarchus, Epaphras, and Archippus. There must have been some kind of link or overlap between the fellowship at Collosae and the house church of Philemon. All as individuals are trying to walk the Jesus way, but they and we also need each other.
