Hosea 11:1-11. God speaks of God's tender affection for Israel like a father teaching an infant child to walk, and so how hard it is to see Israel continually rejecting God's ways. God will not again destroy Ephraim after the coming exile, but intends to return them to their homes someday.
Psalm 107:1-9, 43 (UMH 830).
A psalm of thanksgiving that ends almost as a wisdom psalm — "Consider the steadfast love of the Lord."
Colossians 3:1-11 (the sermon will come from this text).
Live the fullness of what happened in your baptism, Paul commends. Strip off the old self and its practices, be clothed with the new. Let Christ, and no other practices or distinctions, be all in all!
Luke 12:13-21.
Jesus uses an inquirer's request to arbitrate an inheritance dispute to warn against all forms of greed — all desires to obtain more that what one already has — and tells the story of a successful grain farmer as an example.
