Suggested Scripture Readings for August 23, 2009
1 Kings 8:1-6, 10-11, 22-30, 41-43 Psalm 84
Ephesians 6:10-20 John 6:56-69
Theme Ideas
With the exception of the reading from John, prayer is a unifying theme of these texts. Solomon prays at the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem; the psalmist prays for Israel and the joys of being in God’s house; and Paul enjoins Christians to put on the full armor of God and pray in the Spirit at all times. To tie in the gospel reading, worship leaders could focus on how abiding in Christ is accomplished not only through the elements of Holy Communion, but also through prayer in the Spirit.
