WTTW: TUESDAY
Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
GOD'S BLESSING (Romans 12:9-17)
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

WTTW: HIS WORD
SUNDAY
Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
John 13:18-30
“Betrayal: Prediction, Signal & Instruction”
Paraphrase
Jesus lets his disciples know he’s not referring to all of them when he says one of them is going to betray him in fulfillment of a prophecy in the Psalms that says, “He who shared my bread has turned against me.” However, he tells them when this prophecy is fulfilled not only will they believe who he is but anyone who accepts their testimony about him will believe who he is and that his Father sent him.
Staring at one another and not knowing who he was talking about, Peter told John to ask Jesus directly who among them was going to betray him. Jesus answered John by dipping a piece of bread in a dish and giving it to Judas Iscariot who Satan entered as soon as he took it.
Telling Judas to go quickly to do what he was planning, the other disciples didn’t understand why Jesus said this to him thinking Judas had been asked to go buy something for the festival or to give something to the poor. After taking the bread Judas went out into the night.

WTTW: HIS WORD
SUNDAY
“Love, Compassion, Humility & Sacrifice”
Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
GOD'S WORD: John 13:1-17
Paraphrase
At a meal just before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that in coming from God everything had been placed under his power but that now his time had come to return to God and leave the world and those whom he loved. The meal progressed with the devil having already incited Judas to betray Jesus as he stood up, took off his outer clothing, wrapped a towel around his waist, took a basin of water, began washing his disciples’ feet and drying them with the towel.
When Peter asked him if he was going to wash his feet, Jesus told him he didn’t understand what he was doing now but would later on, although Peter protested anyway telling Jesus he should never lower himself to washing his feet. Jesus responded by telling Peter that unless he washed his feet he had no business being with him which led to Peter quickly changing course and asking Jesus to wash his entire body instead. Jesus answered by telling him that since he had bathed his body was clean and only his feet were dirty and in need of cleaning – indicating that not everyone of them had a clean body in the sense of sin knowing that Judas was planning to betray him.
When he was done washing their feet he returned to the table asking them if they understood what he had just happened telling them that they correctly call him Teacher and Lord yet he had lowered himself to serve them by washing their feet as an example for how they are to serve one another. Jesus told them since a servant isn’t greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one with the message, He had done this so they would be able to humble themselves as servants knowing it was blessed to do so.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
For ever and ever.
Amen
COMMUNION SCRIPTURES
We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 1 Corinthians 2:12
“So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18
COMMUNION
The body of Christ, given for you.
(take & eat the piece of bread)
The blood of Christ, shed for you.
(take & drink the juice or wine)
CLOSING PRAYER
We give you thanks,
almighty God, that you
have refreshed us
through the healing
power of this gift of
life, and we pray that
in your mercy you
would strengthen us,
through this gift,
in faith toward you and in
fervent love toward one
another; for the sake of
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

WTTW: HIS WORD
SUNDAY
“His Glory, Salvation & Flesh”
Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
GOD'S WORD: John 12:37-50
Paraphrase
Their continued unbelief in Jesus despite his many miracles fulfilled Isaiah’s prophetic question about who has believed our message and to whom has the lord been revealed?
Seeing Jesus’ glory, Isaiah, also spoke about how their continued lack of belief worked to blind them and make their hearts so cold that eventually it was impossible for them to believe and receive salvation.
Despite the unbelief amongst the people there were Jewish leaders who believed in Jesus although not openly because peer pressure made them fear excommunication from the synagogue if they went public with their belief.
Crying out, Jesus proclaimed that whoever believed in him believed in God his Father who he had come into the world to reveal as Light & Life so those who believed in him would not remain in the darkness & death of their sin.
Jesus said he didn’t judge those who hearing his word still rejected him because he came to save, not judge the world. Instead, he said those who heard his words but rejected him would be judged by the words he had spoken – words of eternal life his Father had commanded him to say – words so important he had said them exactly as his Father had told him to.
