Here is an opportunity for us to pray together daily. Short and sweet, the prayers last less than 10 minutes so that you can fit them into your busy day. You can email me with your prayer requests at bjstober@yahoo.com The music is called Celestial Navigation and is provided by Anchor

Psalm 121: Hebrews 12. 1,2; Revelation 9
The angels release 'woes' on earth because people worshipped the works of their own hands and never sought the Living God
Psalm 121; Ephesians 4. 11-13; Revelation 8
Leo the Great was Bishop of Rome, Pope in 440. He saved the citizens of Rome from invaders by his courage, was a wise and eloquent preacher and a brilliant administrator, using the resources of the Church for the good of the people. He spoke often of the humility of Christ.
Psalm 96; Matthew 24. 30,31; Revelation 7
God's welcome to countless people from all tribes and languages.
Psalm 15; Philippians 4. 4-7; Revelation 5
The Philippians reading is very short, but it is so rich.
Psalm 121; Ephesians 4.11-13; Revelation 3. 7
Patient endurance, and have some conviction: be either cold or hot
Psalm 42; Hebrews 12.22-24; Revelation 2
As Anglicans we tend to see saints as people of faith who we honour and admire. Paul describes them as those within the body of Christ, living or dead, sanctified because of our relationship with Christ Jesus.
Psalm 120; Isaiah 57.15-19; 1 Philippians 4
So much love in these final words from Paul.
Psalm 25; 1 Philippians 1. 18
The Christ hymn is inspiring. It celebrates the selflessness of Christ's life from before time to his untimely death, followed by his exaltation on high. Lots of deep theology here!
Psalm 65; Proverbs 3.7-12; Philippians 1-4
Paul reflects on the benfits of his sufferings
Psalm 63; Acts 25. 1-26
The net widens: Paul's testimony has now been heard before crowds of Jews in Jerusalem, the local Centurion, Lysias his commander, the Sanhedrin, Felix the governor, Festus his successor, King Agrippa and prominent men of the city, as well as high ranking military officers; now he's on his way to Rome to be tried before Caesar the Roman emperor himself!
Psalm 23; Luke 9.22-25; Acts 24.10-27
Felix clearly has an uneasy conscience regarding justice, self-control and the coming judgement, but at the same time, he is interested in what he has to say and brings his wife and the tribune Lysias into the conversation.
Psalm 126; Matthew 25.19–21;Acts 21
Paul follows the advice of James and the Jerusalem Christian elders by praying and fasting for seven days, then paying towards the cost of several other men taking the Narazite vow. Whether he should have followed their advice or not, false rumours persist, and the crowd-pleasing gesture fails to restore peace in Jerusalem.
Psalm 133; 1 Peter 2.9,10; Acts 19. 28
The silversmiths of Ephesus realise that this new gospel is costing them money: they provoke a riot.
Psalm 90; Acts 18. 1-17 Paul in Corinth
My church in Kirk Langley is named for St Michael. This Sunday we are celebrating its 700th anniversary :)
Psalm 25; Acts 16. 25-17.9
If you'd like to know more about Lydia, Paul and the world of Acts, Paula Gooder is giving a talk at St Paul's cathedral tonight. https://www.stpauls.co.uk/whats-on/lydia
Psalm 49; Isaiah 49.1b-4; Acts 13:13-16:5
A prayer on the death of Her Majesty The Queen
Gracious God, we give thanks
for the life of your servant Queen Elizabeth,
for her faith and her dedication to duty.
Bless our nation as we mourn her death
and may her example continue to inspire us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Psalm 124; Luke 9.22-25; Acts 12. 6
St Ninian was born around 360 in Cumbria, the son of a chieftan who became a Christian convert. He went to Rome to study and was made bishop to the Picts (early inhabitants of Britain) on his return. Under his guidance, Christianity in the Scottish lowlands and parts of Northumbria flourished very early on.
Psalm 72; John 18.33,36-38, Acts 11. 1-18
Jewish people, whose lives have been spent being distinct from foreigners now hear that the Holy Spirit makes no distinction at all.
Psalm 50; Matthew 25.19–21; Acts 10:34-13:12
Remembering HM The Queen
have a look at churchofengland.org where you can sign the memorial book, light a candle or follow a service of reflection led by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Psalm 23; Ephesians 2.13-18; Acts 10. 17- 33
God went to a lot of trouble to bring together Peter, a devout Jew, and Cornelius a good man. The salvation of the world hinged upon this moment of meeting: this is the moment God had been planning for millennia: the opening of the gates of heaven so that we might enter in our billions.
Psalm 101; 1 Peter 2.9,10; Acts 9. 19. 36- 10.16
Cornelius' inclusion in the story highlights the inclusion of the outsider in the story of faith. But what of Tabitha? Women are never in this early narrative described as full of the Holy Spirit - the apostles are men of their time - and choose six men to wait at tables in the early church. Tabitha nevertheless spends all her time and resources for the benefit of others at the expense of her own health, rather like the StrongBlackWoman who is expected to be an example of stalwart faith in the most painful of circumstances.
See Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Too Heavy a Yoke. Black Women and the Burden of Strength (Eugene, OR: Cascade, 2014), 16-17.
Psalm 46; Matthew 9.35-end; Acts 9. 19b- 35
Poor Saul; all his old allies seem to want to kill him.
I note the way he escapes here, in a similar way that the spies escaped Jericho. Whereas they were saved by Rahab, he was saved by the disciples, escaping with their lives by being lowered over the wall in a basket. Is there something to reflect on here about the spies having seen the Promised Land, and Saul's developing vision of the Kingdom?
Psalm 36; John 9.1-5; Acts 9. 1-19a
I was just reading an interesting reflection on this passage on patheos.com/progressive-christian/cracked-pot-saul-john-holbert-04-01-2013
It talks about how Luke uses his Luke-Acts gospel to tell the story of how God can take a flawed, even murderous character like Saul and convert them to the Way. There is hope for most of us yet!
Psalm 104; Mark 4.26-29; Acts 8.26-40
This is a pivotal moment for the church, comparable with the story of Cornelius the centurion. The Holy Spirit takes the Gospel out of Judea altogether, for Philip to interpret scripture, instruct about salvation and baptise a Black man, a eunuch of ambiguous sexuality. If you ever wondered what happened to him, he may be one of the first Black leaders of the church: Simeon the Black, a teacher of the church at Antioch. (Acts 13.1)
Psalm 23; Isaiah 57.15-19; Acts 8. 4-25
The Samaritans were descendents of the northern Israelite tribes, and worshipped at Mount Gerezim. They remained behind when the Judeans were taken into exile in Babylon who on their return worshipped at the Temple. Each thought they were the true Israelite religion, and the others were apostate, so when they too are baptised in the Holy Spirit it demonstrates that the Good News brings us together despite deep seated differences.
Psalm 48; Micah 4.1-4a; Acts 7. 23-43
Stephen's speech outlines the story of the first covenant
Psalm 17; Isaiah 35.2c-6; Acts 7. 1-22
Stephen begins his witness by summarising the story of the faith in just a few short sentences.
Psalm 65; Proverbs 3.7-12; Acts 6
The Apostles devote themselves to prayer and Bible Study and appoint Servant Leaders to pastoral duties.
Psalm 112; 2 Chronicles 7.13,14; Acts 5. 22-42
The words of the Chronicles reading about drought, locusts and pestilence seem so appropriate just now. They even inspired a musical back in the day.
Psalm 48, Isaiah 61.1-3a, Acts 4. 18-37
The new church puts all they have together: no one goes without.
Psalm 133, Isaiah 43.5-7, Luke 10. 13-34
Oops, I got carried away and read part of the Good Samaritan as well. Don't worry, we'll have the whole story on Monday :)
Psalm 48, Micah 4.1-4a, Luke 9. 55-10.12
I am especially touched by the Micah reading today, "they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more;
4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees,
and no one shall make them afraid."
Psalm 17, Isaiah 35.2c-6, Luke 9. 37-54
This miracle happened immediately after the transfiguration. Jesus seems very cross with the helpless disciples, what were they missing? Was the message about the need for community? They were celebrating the Jewish Feast of Booths, camping out together and recalling God's protection. What the disciples missed was that we can't be God's people for the world without the presence of Christ and in the company of one another. It's not an individual sport.
Psalm 126, Proverbs 3.7-12, Luke 9. 18-36
Collect for the Queen:
*Gracious God, we give you thanks
for the reign of your servant Elizabeth our Queen,
and for the example of loving and faithful service
which she has shown among us.
Help us to follow her example of dedication
and to commit our lives to you and to one another,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.*Amen.
2 Corinthians 1.20-22, Luke 9. 1-17
Another Sunday school favourite, but notice that withdrawing to a place of stillness in the middle of a busy life both proceeds and follows the miraculous. In our chaotic lives we need to try to strike a balance between compassion for those needing our help, and rest.
Psalm 84, Hebrews 9.24, Luke 8.40-56
Jairus's daughter was my favourite story when I was a child. When I grew up, the story of this woman's restoration is one I love the most.
Psalm 21, Isaiah 40.28-end and Luke 7.36-50
The Isaiah reading is so inspiring, rising on eagle's wings, running without getting tired, and having the grace to walk by faith. The Luke reading is the woman with the alabaster jar of ointment. It's all about forgiveness and the need to avoid judgement
Hebrews 9.24, Luke 7.11-23
I love Ascension Day because this is the day we celebrate Jesus taking his earthly body into heaven. We are so used to spiritualising everything as though we were physically worthless, but this festival celebrates Jesus validating our physical bodies and taking one right up into heaven itself.
Colossians 3.1-4, Luke 6. 45-7.10
Jesus demonstrates compassion for the oppressor, a Roman centurion
Psalm 146, Revelation 1.12,13,17,18, Luke 5. 27-39
I wonder if, when Jesus chose his disciples, he knew already what their part in his story would be, and chose them anyway?
Psalm 145, Job 19.23-27a, Luke 5.29-6.11
Jesus' demonstrated his love for tax collectors, the man with the withered hand, and even the scribes and pharisees as he tries to get them to think beyond the rules and regulations to God's love for all, even sinners.
Job 19.23-27a, Luke 4. 16-37
That heartfelt reading from Job: I know that my redeemer lives.
Psalm 145, Luke 2. We are introduced to Simeon and Anna. Simeon prays the Numc Dimittis
Psalm 111, Luke 1. 57-80. Zechariah finds it hard to believe what Gabriel is saying and is struck dumb After time to reflect, at John's naming ceremony he prophesies about the baby being destined to prepare Israel for the coming of the Lord.
Psalm 106, Luke 1. 39-56
Is it true that the Magnificat was banned in British India, in Guatemala during the Dirty war in 1976-83 and also by Argentina's Junta? Sister Elizabeth Johnson, 2012:
“The Magnificat is a revolutionary song of salvation whose political, economic, and social dimensions cannot be blunted. People in need in every society hear a blessing in this canticle. The battered woman, the single parent without resources, those without food on the table or without even a table, the homeless family, the young abandoned to their own devices, the old who are discarded: all are encompassed in the hope Mary proclaims.” – Sister Elizabeth Johnson, 2012
Psalm 145, Job 19.23-27a, Colossians 3.12-4.1
Rules for Christian Households in the first century.
Psalm 106, Colossians 3.1-4, A Better Resurrection
The poet sees her own life as insubstantial compared to the lives of the men and women of faith in the Old Testament, and the early Christian martyrs referred to in Hebrews 11:16. She looks forward to a more meaningful resurrection.
Psalm 66, 1 Corinthians 15. 42-49, Ephesians 6.10-20
A strong reminder that we are, none of us, in this struggle alone. This is a spiritual battle and God has given us all we need to stand in the power of God.
Psalm 30, Zephaniah 3.14-18, Acts 12.25 - 13.13
We are in the season of Easter, a time of joy. The gospel begins to be spread throughout the Mediterranean.
Psalm 145 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised.
Job 19.23-27a, 1 Corinthians 15.35-50
Just wondering if the work being done by quantum physics on consciousness will eventually give us some insight into the transformation from a physical body to a spiritual one.
1 Corinthians 15.20-28, Colossians 3:1-4
All things are subjected to God in Christ: rulers, authority and power are destroyed: the last enemy to be destroyed is death.
John 6.39, 1 Corinthians 15.12-19
Our faith depends on belief in the resurrection: first of all Christ, then those who have died in Christ, then those of us who live in the hope of being reunited with our loved ones.
Psalm 69, Genesis 22.1-18 I love this story, not because it guilts Christians into thinking God wants them to prove their love for him by sacrificing their families, but because God himself has provided the same sacrifice he asked of Abraham: he gave his own son and restored his family to Abraham, and reconciles us to himself.
1 Peter 2.24-25, Luke 23.1-25
I have a secret sympathy for Pilate: he tried three times to spare Jesus, but the chief priests and leaders of the people were determined he should do as they asked. Was he a villain, a saint or a victim? The Ethiopian and Coptic churches venerate him as a martyr and a saint.
Psalm 143, Luke 22.54-71 Peter is challenged three times and each time denies Christ. Jesus, about to be condemned, simply looks at Peter and Peter weeps bitterly.
Psalm 45 Matthew 9.35-38, 2 Timothy
How the church needs to leave behind her father's house and embrace her new Lord: she will be remembered throughout the generations and praised for her courage and sacrifice.
Psalm 17, John 9.1-5, 2 Tim 1
Paul's love for Timothy. We need to stop seeing disabled people as less than.
Psalm 104, Mark 4.26-29, 1 Tim 6. 1-16
Along with encouragement about discerning the truth, being content and fighting the fight of faith, Slaves are instructed to respect and serve their masters, especially if they are Christians. Maybe the calling is to mirror Christ's self-emptying, but that's easy for us to say. Much to ponder here.
Psalm 120, Isaiah 57.15-19, 1 Timothy 5
Having a little wine for your stomach's sake :)
Psalm 17, Isaiah 35.2-6, 1 Timothy 2
These instructions may seem odd to us, but they were designed to allow men and women of their society to worship together in freedom, side by side. We pray that we in our turn may experience that same sense of freedom and equality, and share the grace of God with each other.
Psalm 133, Philippians 2.5-3.7
The Christ-hymn; Shining as lights in the world; Timothy and Epaphroditus; breaking with the past.
Psalm 122, Philippians 1.1-2.4
Paul prays for the Philippians: his hardships only help to spread the gospel: imitation of Christ's humility
Psalm 99, John 2.10,11, Matthew 27.11-26
The malice of the chief priests, the evasiveness of Pilate, the recklessness of the crowd.
Psalm 138, Ephesians 1.8b-10, Matthew 26.63b-27.10
Jesus is named the Messiah by the High Priest
Psalm 132, Romans 8.15-17, Matthew 26. 40-63a
We are reminded that we are the children of God. The betrayal and arrest of Jesus, Jesus is questioned by the high priest.
Psalm 72.10-15, 2 Corinthians 4.5-6, Matthew 26. 14-39
Judas' betrayal and the institution of the Last Supper. Peter's denial
Psalm 99, John 2.10-11, Matthew 25.14 -37
The parable of the talents and serving one another
Psalm 122, 2 Corinthians 4.5, Matthew 24. 1-20
The destruction of the Temple, signs of the age and persecutions foretold.
Psalm 72, Isaiah 60.1-3, Matthew 23. 20-39
The scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! Arise and shine, for your light has come.
Psalm 99, John 2.10-11, Matthew 23. 1-19
Jesus keeps the best till last. Denouncing hypocrisy.
Psalm 138, Ephesians 1.8-10, Matthew 22.23-46
Questions about the nature of the resurrection. The greatest commandment. How can the messiah be the son of David - isn't the father more important than the son?
Psalm 132, Romans 8.15-17, Matthew 22.1-22
How we can call God by his family name, Abba. The parable of the wedding banquet and God's invitation to all, but we must be clothed by the virtues given by the grace of God at baptism. The Pharisees realise Jesus poses a threat and try to trap him into offending Rome. Jesus reminds them they owe allegiance to God.
Thanks to Stanley Hauerwas for his commentary on Matthew.
Psalm 122, 2 Corinthians 4.5, Matthew 21. 18-32
God calls us into the light. The morning after the cleansing of the temple, when Jesus arrives hungry in the city, he finds no fruit on a fig tree, but only showy leaves. In a reference back to Jeremiah where God says he wants to gather the nations together his finds 'no figs on the fig tree' but withered leaves. Jesus curses the tree and it withers to illustrate the prophecy, just as the officials have withered the temple. Jesus enters the temple and begins to teach.
Psalm 100, Isaiah 60.1-3, Matthew 21.1-17
The dispersed are called to the light: Jesus, the colt and the temple.
Ruth 4, Matthew 20
Boaz and Ruth marry, David's genealogy, the labourers in the vinyard, Jesus foretells his death and resurrection and a mother asks a favour.
The music is called Celestial Navigation.
Isaiah 60. 1-6, Matthew 2. 1-12
This is one of the principal feasts of the Church. Lord God,
the bright splendour whom the nations seek:
may we who with the Magi
have been drawn by your light
discern the glory of your presence in your Son,
the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Psalm 110, Ruth 3, Colossians 4
Ruth obeys Naomi's instructions; Paul gives instructions to the Colossians and sends greetings and blessings to his fellow ministers, both men and women.
Ruth 2, Colossians 3.12-4.1
Boaz meets Ruth in his fields and repays her kindness to his cousin Naomi. Rules for Colossian Christian households.
Psalm 87, Ruth 1 Colossians 3.1-11
Naomi falls on hard times but still considers her daughters-in-law: Ruth responds to her concern with a vow of her own. Our new life in Christ.
Psalm 8, Jonah 3-4, Colossians 1.24-2.7
Nineveh converts but it displeases Jonah who has to be taught about the nature of God's love for us. Paul explains the mystery of God's presence with us.
Psalm 110, Jonah 1 Colossians 1.1-14
Jonah abandons the Ninevites to their fate: Paul prays for the Colossians.
Psalm 97, Matthew 1.20b-23, Matthew 2.13-18
Escaping to Egypt and the massacre of the infants in Bethlehem.
Psalm 87, Isaiah 9.2,6,7, 1 John 2.1-1

An appeal to live honourably, forgiveness and the parable of the unforgiving servant
Mark 13. 34-37, Matthew 18.1-20
What is true greatness, really? God's fierce defence of his little ones. The parable of the lost sheep. How to deal with conflict.
Being alert slaves, Elijah did come back but wasn't recognized, healings, foretelling his own death and how the children of man are free
Psalm 14, Mark 1.1-5, Matthew 16. 21-17.8
John the Baptist proclaims the coming of the Lord. Jesus foretells His own death and resurrection, but Peter tries to prevent it, giving Jesus a moment's pause. The Transfiguration
Psalm 13, Isaiah 11.1-4, Matthew 16. 1-20
The Peaceful Kingdom, insisting on a Sign, Peter's realisation, the reliability of Pharisee and Sadducee teaching, Simon becomes Peter

The proclamation of John the Baptist, Jesus walking on water and the healings at Gennesaret

the parable of the sower, the weeds among the wheat, the mustard seed, the yeast and the reason for always teaching using parables.

Two prophecies from Isaiah about the Messiah, and Jesus teaches that he is Lord of the Sabbath

Jesus thanks God for wisdom which is withheld from the wise and revealed to children
Psalm 121, Ephesians 4.11-13, Matthew 11.1-15
A reminder of how our gifts and talents are meant to complement each other and bring glory to God.
Psalm 24, Philippians 3.20, Matthew 10.21-40
For some reason, I found today's readings incredibly moving. Hope you do too.

Psalm 15, Philippians 4.4-7, Matthew 9. 18-38
