HYMN OF FELLOWSHIP

(Worshippers join hands for the singing of

the final refrain)

There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,

and I know that it’s the Spirit of the Lord.

There are sweet expressions on each face,

and I know they feel the presence of the Lord.

Refrain:

Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet Heavenly Dove,

stay right here with us,

filling us with your love.

And for these blessings,

we lift our hearts in praise,

without a doubt we’ll know

that we have been revived

when we shall leave this place.

There are blessings you cannot receive

till you know him in his fullness, and believe.

You’re the one to profit when you say,

‘I am going to walk with Jesus all the way.’

Theme For The Week “True wisdom is conducting our

lives by the standards of

Jesus Christ.”

THE EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY

AFTER PENTECOST

FIRST READING: Proverbs 31:10-31

Comment: “The capable wife”

In this lesson from the Book of Proverbs, we find a

poem to a woman of worth who embodies attributes

beyond charm and beauty, all of which have their

source in her allegiance to God. In an agrarian culture

where the economic and social well-being of the

household was primary, the industry and ability of

ranking women were essential to the success of the

extended family and its dependents. The virtues of the

ideal woman described in this acrostic poem are

substantially economic; she is an astute businesswoman,

managing with excellence all that is in her charge. She is

charitable to the poor and extends herself for the needy,

displays wisdom, and teaches kindness.

PSALM 1

The Lord makes fruitful those who choose the

way of righteousness.

SECOND READING (The Epistle): James 3: 13-4:3,7-8a

Comment: “The wisdom from above”

In this New Testament epistle, believers are to cleave

to wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of

mercy and good fruits. The Christian community must

recognise the results of worldly attitudes and desires:

jealousy, disorder, quarrels, even murder. Prayers are too

often offered for the wrong motives, but a harvest of

righteousness is sown for those who sow in peace. The

wise will refuse evil and draw near to God, and in doing

so, they will find that God has also drawn near to them.

THE HOLY GOSPEL: Mark 9:30-37

Comment: “Prediction of the Passion”

In the Gospel Jesus foretells his death and

resurrection as the Son of Man, bidding his disciples

to have a servant ministry and to learn to welcome

him and God in a child. The several sayings are linked

together by the theme of Jesus’ lowliness and readiness

to suffer for others. His followers’ difficulty in

understanding him and their discussion concerning

which of them is greatest stand in sharp contrast to their

Lord’s teachings. Jesus’ actions and words with regard

to the child remind us of another saying: whatever is

done to the least member of the community is done to

him.
