Proverbs 25:6-14; Ephesians 4:1-6; Luke 14:1-11 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=9089498&l=1d8693bf-aefa-45c1-af32-7f42749c80e9&r=604bced7-b7ca-4103-9299-7811703cb20e>
There’s more than dinner etiquette going on in this week’s readings. It’s about humility, about finding this life as one of suffering and taking the lower seat; in a word, it’s about Christ and living the life of Christ as a life marked by humility. Dear Saints, *join us* *this Sunday at 8am at Grace and* *11am at Trinity as we humble ourselves before the mighty throne of God and rise with Him into the heavenly places!*
*Bible Study is at 9:30am at Grace this month. *We’re moving to chapter six of the book of Revelation. Here’s your weekly dose of Peter Leithart on Revelation <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=9089498&l=7f659652-0759-4b1d-9ad9-572321c55db7&r=604bced7-b7ca-4103-9299-7811703cb20e>.

· Apparently yesterday was National Poetry Day in the UK. Malcolm Guite offers a great little poem <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=9089498&l=fa6d137a-0419-45f0-924e-6b1af486528e&r=604bced7-b7ca-4103-9299-7811703cb20e> as a tribute along with a fun story that inspired it. Unjam your machine with words that copy pictures from a world unseen. Enjoy and read some poetry!

Some of you have attended the Luther Hostel in the past and it comes highly recommended.
· Finally, I’ll be giving a paper at next week’s Pastor’s Conference in Junction City. It’ll be a look at the theology of the body in light of today’s modern Gnosticism—that is, I’ll be critiquing a number of ways that we deny the dignity and divinity of the body. You can catch a glimpse by reviewing last year’s newsletter articles <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=9089498&l=697c9b78-c292-4b91-8633-c29411f9c942&r=604bced7-b7ca-4103-9299-7811703cb20e> .
