TRANSCRIPT
THE WEEKLY MESSENGER
1358 South Lake Drive Lexington, SC 29073 Week of September 17, 2017
The 16th Sunday after Pentecost The parable of the workers in the vineyard
ticks me off. Does it bother you? The
owner of the vineyard hires laborers at
different times during the day. They work
different amounts of time but at the end of
the day those who worked the least get
paid the same as those who worked the
most. The latter are not amused. What
does Jesus want us to know?
Bible Study:
Losing Moses on the Freeway: The 10 Commandments in America
Lutherans and Roman Catholics follow the numbering system for the Com-
mandments championed by the early Jews and St. Augustine. Episcopalians,
Presbyterians, and Reformed churches follow Jean Calvin’s numbering which
reflects the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament). We need that
preface because this week we will consider what other Christians think of as
the 2nd Commandment: “You shall not make for yourself a grave image.”
Hedges writes, “We are burdened by household gods, no longer made of clay,
but all promising to fulfill us.” Come think about the idols we have made and
serve and how they lead to death.
7pm on Thursday– come even if you did not read the book .
