Sukkot Reading (Romans 1:18 - 32)

  God's Wrath on Unrighteousness 18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19  For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.  20  For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.  21  For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  22  Claiming to be wise, they became fools,  23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24  Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among thems...

Sukkot Reading (Numbers 29:12 - 16)

    12  “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days.  13  And you shall offer a burnt offering, a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord, thirteen bulls from the herd, two rams, fourteen male lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish;  14  and their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls, two tenths for each of the two rams,  15  and a tenth for each of the fourteen lambs;  16  also one male goat for a sin offering, besides the regular burnt offering, its grain offering and its drink offering.  ( Numbers 29:12–16 , ESV) This is the Way!  This Is Our Prayer! O LORD, Hear Our Prayer(s)!

Sukkot Reading (John 7)

Jesus at the Feast of Booths 7  After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.  2  Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand.  3  So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.  4  For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”  5  For not even his brothers believed in him.  6  Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.  7  The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. 8  You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”  9  After saying this, he remained in Galilee. 10  But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.  11...

Sukkot Reading (Revelation 22)

The River of Life 22  Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb  2  through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  3  No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4  They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.  5  And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. Jesus Is Coming 6  And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” 7  “And behold, I am coming soon...

Sukkot Reading (Revelation 21)

The New Heaven and the New Earth 21  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.  2  And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  3  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.  4  He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” 5  And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6  And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the...
