Prayer: Forgiving God, may we remember we are to forgive, too. Your forgiveness is ours. May we be forgiving and for giving. Amen
Reading: Acts 10: 34-43 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I read recently that forgiveness means we are here for giveness. I had to stop and think about that for a bit. Still thinking about it, in fact. Peter was speaking to the Gentiles and telling them the Good News of Jesus Christ and our reading today ends with, All the prophets testify about (Jesus) that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. – Acts 10: 43 Think about it. Forgiveness means we are here for giveness. Love God. Love others. Let’s be forgiving and for giving. --Ruth Gates
