Job 42: 1-6, 10-17
Then Job answered the Lord:
‘I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
“Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?”
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
“Hear, and I will speak;
I will question you, and you declare to me.”
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.’
And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he
had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job
twice as much as he had before. Then there came to
him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known
him before, and they ate bread with him in his house;
they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all
the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and each
of them gave him a piece of money and a gold
ring. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more
than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand
sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of
oxen, and a thousand donkeys. He also had seven
sons and three daughters. He named the first
Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third
Keren-happuch. In all the land there were no women
so beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave
them an inheritance along with their brothers. After
this Job lived for one hundred and forty years, and
saw his children, and his children’s children, four
generations. And Job died, old and full of days.
Mark 10: 26-52
They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a
large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of
Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the
roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David,
have mercy on me!’ Many sternly ordered him to be
quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, ‘Son of David,
have mercy on me!’ Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call him
here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him,
‘Take heart; get up, he is calling you.’ So throwing off
his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus
said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’
The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me see
again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you
well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed
him on the way.
Today we welcome our own church member, David Beard, as Guest Preacher
for both services. Thank you, David!
