Readings for next Sunday 24th August
14th SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
First Reading Isaiah 51:1-6 The prophet reassures Israel by recalling their origins in God’s blessing of Abraham, their ancestor. With their faith based on this rock, they can look forward to a future where Jerusalem will be restored and all nations will know the glory of God.
Second Reading Romans 12:1-8 Paul reminds us that in Christ we form one body. We all have different gifts, but we should not be tempted to assume one gift is more important than another. The vital thing is to use our gifts to the best of our ability.
Gospel Matthew 16:13-20 Simon, by God’s grace, recognises Jesus to be the Christ. Jesus says that henceforth Simon is to be Peter, the rock, the foundation stone of the Church.
