Genesis 18.1-15
The LORD appeared to Abraham by
the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the
entrance of his tent in the heat of the
day. 2 He looked up and saw three
men standing near him. When he
saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed
down to the ground. 3 He said, “My
lord, if I find favour with you, do not
pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet,
and rest yourselves under the tree.
5
Let me bring a little bread, that you
may refresh yourselves, and after
that you may pass on—since you
have come to your servant.” So they
said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And
Abraham hastened into the tent to
Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly
three measures of choice flour,
knead it, and make cakes.”
7
Abraham ran to the herd, and took
a calf, tender and good, and gave it
to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. 8 Then he took curds and milk
and the calf that he had prepared,
and set it before them; and he stood
by them under the tree while they
ate. 9 They said to him, “Where is
your wife Sarah?” And he said,
“There, in the tent.” 10 Then one said,
“I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have
a son.” And Sarah was listening at
the tent entrance behind him. 11 Now
Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be
with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself,
saying, “After I have grown old, and
my husband is old, shall I have
2
Year A
pleasure?” 13 The LORD said to
Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and
say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now
that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too
wonderful for the LORD? At the set
time I will return to you, in due
season, and Sarah shall have a son.”
15
But Sarah denied, saying, “I did not
laugh”; for she was afraid. He said,
“Oh yes, you did laugh.”
Hear the word of the Lord,
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 116:1-2, 11-18
1 I love the Lord, because he heard
my voice: the voice of my
supplication;
2 Because he inclined his ear to me:
in the day that I called to him.
11 How shall I repay the Lord:
for all his benefits to me?
12 I will take up the cup of salvation:
and call upon the name of the Lord.
13 I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all his people.
14 Grievous in the sight of the Lord:
is the death of his faithful ones.
15 O Lord, I am your servant,
your servant and the child of your
handmaid: you have unloosed my
bonds.
16 I will offer you a sacrifice of
thanksgiving: and call upon the name
of the Lord.
17 I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all his people,
18 In the courts of the house of the
Lord: even in your midst, O
Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.

Romans 5.1-11
Therefore, since we are justified by
faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2
through whom we have obtained
access to this grace in which we
stand; and we boast in our hope of
sharing the glory of God. 3 And not
only that, but we also boast in our
sufferings, knowing that suffering
4
produces
endurance,
and
endurance produces character, and
character produces hope, 5 and
hope does not disappoint us,
because God’s love has been
poured into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit that has been given to
us.6 For while we were still weak, at
the right time Christ died for the
ungodly. 7 Indeed, rarely will anyone
die for a righteous person—though
perhaps for a good person someone
might actually dare to die. 8 But God
proves his love for us in that while
we still were sinners Christ died for
us. 9 Much more surely then, now
that we have been justified by his
blood, will we be saved through him
from the wrath of God. 10 For if while
we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God through the death
of his Son, much more surely,
having been reconciled, will we be
saved by his life. 11 But more than
that, we even boast in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, through
whom we have now received
reconciliation.
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.

The Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ according to
Matthew 9.35-10.8
Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ
35
Then Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and proclaiming the good
news of the kingdom, and curing every
disease and every sickness. 36 When
he saw the crowds, he had
compassion for them, because they
were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he
said to his disciples, “The harvest is
plentiful, but the laborers are few;
38
therefore ask the Lord of the harvest
to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Then Jesus summoned his twelve
disciples and gave them authority over
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to
cure every disease and every
sickness. 2 These are the names of the
twelve apostles: first, Simon, also
known as Peter, and his brother
Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and
his brother John; 3 Philip and
Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew
the tax collector; James son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the
Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the
one who betrayed him. 5 These twelve
Jesus sent out with the following
instructions: “Go nowhere among the
Gentiles, and enter no town of the
Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you
go, proclaim the good news, ‘The
kingdom of heaven has come near.’
8
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
the lepers, cast out demons. You
received without payment; give without
payment.
This is the Gospel of the Lord,
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

we pray that, as you raised him from death,
so by the power of the Holy Spirit
we may live the new life to your glory,
knowing ourselves to be dead in sin
but alive for you in Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Sometimes we just don’t understand what God wants us to do.
We hide in our chains of fear away from God’s call.
God calls us to service and freedom,
and it won’t necessarily be an easy life.
There is so much that needs to be done.
We can’t do it all.
That’s the beauty of it.
We don’t have to do it all.
We just have to try and do something to help those in need.
Our example will inspire others to service, and so on it goes.
Lord, make us ready to be your disciples. Free us from our fears. AMEN
