Nehemiah 4: 1-23 What’s Nehemiah about?
The inhabitants of the land plan to invade Jerusalem while it is being rebuilt to prevent it from regaining its role as a major city, but Nehemiah organizes resistance and all the workers arm themselves while rebuilding.
Matthew 13: 31-35 What’s Matthew about?
Jesus continues a series of parables about how things like seeds which begin tiny grow far beyond their original size—he is assuring us that God’s justice, which seems so insignificant, will become the foundation of the world.
This week’s collect:
Lord God our redeemer,
who heard the cry of your people
and sent your servant Moses
to lead them out of slavery,
free us from the tyranny of sin and death,
and by the leading of your Spirit
bring us to our promised land;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
