OLD TESTAMENT
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD is God!
It is he that made us, and we are his;
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thaksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Gives thanks to him, bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever;
And his faithfulness to all generations.
Upon those who fear him,
And his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his
commandments
Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
You mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his
word!
Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!
Unison
Bless the LORD, O my Soul; and all that is within me, bless
his holy name!

NEW TESTAMENT
Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown,
stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger,
abundance and want.
I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to
what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God
in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is
just,
Whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,
If there is any excellence, if there is
Anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,
do: and the God of peace will be with you.

GOD’S PRESENCE
OLD TESTAMENT
O LORD, thou hast searched me and
known me!
Thou Knowest when I sit down and when I rise up;
Thou discernest my thoughts from a far.
Thou ... art acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou dost beset me behind and before,
and layest thy hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend to heaven, thou art there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!
How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God!
Search me, O God and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!

He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all
that I have said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives

Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
You hears me say to you, 'I go aways, and I will come to you.'
And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it
does take place, you may believe.”
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you;
And lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I
have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you. and

that your fruit should abide;
So that whatever you ask that Father in my name, he may give it

GOD’S HOUSE
OLD TESTAMENT
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the
LORD!"
Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
One thing have I asked of the LORD, That will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble;
He will conceal me under the cover of his tent,
He will set me high upon a rock.
How lovely is thy dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, yea, faints For the courts of the LORD;
My heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for
herself,
where she may lay her young,
At thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my king and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house,
ever singing thy praise!

And Jesus entred the temple of God and drove out all who sold and
bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the
moneychangers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
He said to them, "It is written.
'My house shall be called a house of prayer'; but you make it a
den of robbers."
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went
to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day.
And he stood up to read; and there was given to him the book of
the prophet Isaiah.
He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

YOUTH
OLD TESTAMENT
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on
all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see
visions
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in
the days of your youth;
Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes.
But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will
say, "I have no pleasure in them";
Before the sun and the light, and the moon, and the stars are
darkened
Before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the
pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel
broken at the cistern,
And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns
to God who gave it
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his
commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret
thing, whether good or evil.

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
And what you have heard from me before many witnesses
entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in
speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a
workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the
word of truth.
And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt
before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit
eternal life?"
And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
but God alone.
You know the commandments: 'Do not kill, Do not commit adultery,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your
father and mother."’
And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my
youth."

and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

TEMPTATION
OLD TESTAMENT
To thee, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in thee I trust,
Let me not be put to shame;
Let not my enemies exult over me.
Make me to know thy ways, O LORD;
Teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my
salvation;
For thee I wait all the day long. Remember not the sins of my youth,
or my transgressions;
According to thy steadfast love remember me,
for thy goodness' sake, O LORD!
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Relieve the troubles of my heart,
and bring me out of my distresses.
Oh guard my life, and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for
I take refuge in thee
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act.
Good and upright is the LORD;
Therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
And teaches the humble his way.

For those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

NEW TESTAMENT
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted
by the devil.
And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was
hungry.
And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
command these stones to become loaves of bread."
But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread
alone,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'
Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle
of the temple,
And said to him, "If you are the
Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,
'He will give his angels charge of you,’"
Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord
your God.'"
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed
him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
And he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down
and worship me."
Then Jesus said to him,
"Begone, Satan! for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord
your God
and him only shall you serve."'

Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying,
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;
Repent, and believe in the gospel."
And he told them many things in parables, saying:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a
man took and sowed in his field;
It is the smallest of all seeds,
But when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a
tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its
branches."
he told them another parable.
"The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and
hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened."
Jesus answered, "My kingship is not of this world;
If my kingship were of this world, my servents would fight, that I
might not be handed over to the Jews;
But my kingship is not from the world."
Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?"
Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king.
For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to
bear witness to the truth."

Awake, awake,

Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings
good tidings,
Who publishes salvation, who brings good tidings of good,

Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem;
For the LORD has comforted his people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up,
and shall be very high.
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall exult in my God;
For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what its sown in it to spring up
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus
was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and
went out to meet him,
Crying, "Hosanna! Blessed be he who comes in the name of the
Lord, even the King of Isreal!"
And when he entered Jerusalem, all
the city was stirred, saying. "Who is this?"
And the crowds said.” This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of
Galilee.”
And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and
bought in the temple,
And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats
of those who sold pigeons.
He said to them, "It is written, 'My
house shall be called a house of prayer:' but you make it a den of
robbers."
Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some
Greeks. So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in
Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to
be glorified.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the

Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to
inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do

Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have
good success wherever you go.
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened neither be

NEW TESTAMENT
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
Nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
Nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from
the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Have this mind among yourselves, which you have in Christ Jesus,
Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality
with God a thing to be grasped,
But emptied himself, taking the form
of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form he humbled himself and became
obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name
which is above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.

FESTIVAL OF THE CHRISTIAN HOME

OLD TESTAMENT
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
and reject not your mother's teaching.
Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you;
Bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your

So you will find favor and good repute

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
A good wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the
teachers, listening to them and asking them questions;
And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and

And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to
him, "Son. why have you treated us so?”
And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not
know that I must be in my Father's house?"
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was
obedient to them: and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with
God and man.
But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's
sister. Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved
standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!”
Then he said to the disciple. "Behold your mother!"
And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,

FRIENDSHIP
OLD TESTAMENT
What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor man is better than a liar
There are friends who pretend to be friends,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion.
The words of a man's mouth are deep water;
the fountain of wisdom is a gushing stream.
Your friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake;
and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away,
be wise my son, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him who reproaches me.
He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,
and he will repay him for his deed.
He who gets wisdom loves himself; he who keeps understanding will
prosper.
He who trusts in his own mind is a fool;
but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

NEW TESTAMENT
"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I
have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
These things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and
that your joy may be full.
"This is my commandment, that you
love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I
call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is
doing;
But I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my
Father I have made known to you.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you
should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide;
So that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it
to you.
"Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than
his master.’"
"But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For
the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many."

WISDOM
OLD TESTAMENT
"Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they
refine.
Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from the ore.
"But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of
understanding?
Man does not know the way to it, and it is not found in the land of
the living.
The deep says, 'It is not in me,' and the sea says, "It is not with me.’
It cannot be gotten for gold, and silver cannot be weighed as
its price.
"Whence then comes wisdom? and where is the place of
understanding?
It is hid from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds
of
the air.
"God understands the way to it, and he knows its place.
For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under
the heavens.
And he said to man,
'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
And to depart from evil is understanding.' "
Job 28
Page | 33
NEW TESTAMENT
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God who gives to all men
generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is
like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable
in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.
"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them
will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;
And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall,
because it had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do
them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat
against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is
in heaven."

TRUE RICHES
OLD TESTAMENT
Men who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their
riches - -
Truly no man can ransom himself, or give to God the price of his life,
that he should continue to live on for ever.
The fool and the stupid alike must perish
and leave their wealth to others. Be not afraid when one becomes
rich,
When the glory of his house increases.
For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not go down after him.
Put no confidence in extortion, if riches increase, set not your heart
on them.
For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
My mighty rock, my refuge is God. "Hear, O my people, and I will
speak, Offer to God a sacrifice of
thanksgiving,
and pay your vows to the Most High."

NEW TESTAMENT
And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will
be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for
a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who
can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said,
"With men it is impossible, but not with God;
For all things are possible with God."
Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house
or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands,
for
my sake and for the gospel,
Who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and
brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with
persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life."
"Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there will
your heart be also."
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he
was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty
you might become rich.

STEWARDSHIP
OLD TESTAMENT
He has showed you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
"From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my
statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to
you, says the LORD of hosts.
But you say, ' How shall we return?' Will man rob God?
Yet you are robbing me. But you
say, 'How are we robbing thee?'
In your tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you
are robbing me; the whole nation of you.
Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my
house;
And thereby put me to the test says the LORD of hosts, if I will
not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you
an overflowing blessing.
I will rebuke the devourer for you,
so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil; and your vine in the
field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts."
Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of
delight, says the LORD of hosts."

NEW TESTAMENT
Having gifts that differ acording to the grace given to us, let us use
them:
If prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving;
he who teaches, in his teaching; He who exhorts, in his exhortation;
He who contributes, in liberality;
He who gives aid, with zeal;
He who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and
he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or
under compulsion,
For God loves a cheerful giver.
Let love be genuine.
Now the company of those who
believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the
things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in
common.
For as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and
brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles'
feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.

Oh, how I love thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
How sweet are thy words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through thy precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.
Thy word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever;
yea, they are the joy of my heart
Thou hast multiplied, O LORD my
God, thy wondrous deeds and thy thoughts toward us; none can
compare with thee!
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
they would be more than can be numbered.
I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy
faithfulness and thy salvation;
I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness
from the great congregation.
Do not thou, O LORD, withhold thy mercy from me,
let thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness ever preserve me!
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to
judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
preach the word,
Be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and
exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching,
but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers
to suit their own likings,
And will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into
myths.
As for you, always be steady, endure suffering,
Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
That the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good
work.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that
Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his
appearing.

David a righteous Branch,"
And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the
fear of the LORD.
And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide by what his ears hear;
But with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist,
and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul
delights;
I have put my spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the

He will faithfully bring forth justice.
He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in

When Herod the king heard this, he
was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he
inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea;
For so it is written by the prophet;
'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
For from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'
And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his
mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.
Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and
frankincense and myrrh.
