Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Don’t aspire to be the best on the team.
Aspire to be the best for the team.
Don’t aspire to be the best on the team.
Aspire to be the best for the team.
James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Sunday’s (Oct, 5) gospel text is from Luke 17:1-10. Vss. 1-3 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them.
“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain
of improving, and that’s your own self.” -Aldous Huxley
