BIBLE READING
Here are the Bible readings for this upcoming week. Feel free to read the entire thing, just the NT, or just the OT:
| Day | Reading |
| Monday | Numbers 8-11; Colossians 1 |
| Tuesday | Numbers 12-14; Psalm 28; Colossians 2 |
| Wednesday | Numbers 15-18; Psalm113; Colossians 3 |
| Thursday | Numbers 19-21; Colossians 4 |
| Friday | Numbers 22-25; Luke 1 |
Numbers was written by Moses and was for the Jews.
· Numbers 13:33 – These "giants" were first mentioned in Genesis 6:4.
· Numbers 24:17 – The "Star out of Jacob" was thought to refer to the coming Messiah. This may have been the verse to convince the Magi to go to Israel.
Colossians was written by Paul from a Roman prison.
· Colossians 4:16 – The other epistle mentioned here may have been the book of Ephesians or another epistle that is not in our Bibles.
Luke was written by Luke to Theophilus and Gentiles. (Acts was also written by Luke to Theophilus and Gentiles.)
· Luke 1:46-55 – This is called the "Magnificat" after the first word in the Latin translation.
· Luke 1:68-79 – This is called the "Benedictus" after the first word in the Latin translation.

Highlights from the Sermon
1 Corinthians 8:1-13
· Love Triumphs Over Knowledge – don't let knowledge inflate our pride.
· Something We Know Is Not Sinful May Be Sinful For Others
· Love Triumphs Over Our Christian Liberty – don't let ourselves be stumbling blocks to others.
Let's grow in our knowledge of God and His Word. Let's use that knowledge to build others up. Let's balance that knowledge with love. Let love triumph over our knowledge. Let love triumph over our freedom, so that we don't tear others down. Let's not be a stumbling block to anyone.
