Old Testament:  Amos 5:6-7, 10-15 (NIV) - Mr. Tim Green

(Hate evil, love good; act with justice and fairness.)

 6 Seek the LORD and live,
       or he will sweep through the house of Joseph like a fire;
       it will devour,
       and Bethel will have no one to quench it.

 7 You who turn justice into bitterness
       and cast righteousness to the ground

 10 you hate the one who reproves in court
       and despise him who tells the truth.

 11 You trample on the poor
       and force him to give you grain.
       Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,
       you will not live in them;
       though you have planted lush vineyards,
       you will not drink their wine.

 12 For I know how many are your offenses
       and how great your sins.
       You oppress the righteous and take bribes
       and you deprive the poor of justice in the courts.

 13 Therefore the prudent man keeps quiet in such times,
       for the times are evil.

 14 Seek good, not evil,
       that you may live.
       Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you,
       just as you say he is.

 15 Hate evil, love good;
       maintain justice in the courts.
       Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy
       on the remnant of Joseph.

Epistle:  Hebrews 3:12-19  ( NIV) - Mr. Tim Green    

(We share in Christ if we hold fast to the end.)

12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. 14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. 15As has just been said:
   "Today, if you hear his voice,
      do not harden your hearts
   as you did in the rebellion."[a]

 16Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? 18And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed[b]? 19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

 Holy Gospel: Mark 10:17-22 (NIV) - Rev. Charles Neugebauer 

(What must I do to inherit life?)

The Rich Young Man

 17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

 18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'[a]"

 20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."

 21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

 22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
