A Look at This Coming Sunday's Bible Lessons

Most weeks, I try to present some background information on the Bible lessons for the succeeding Sundays. This week, at least for starters, I share a few links to some great commentaries on the assigned texts. I may write a few of my own comments as the week progresses. Hopefully, these comments help you prepare for worship:

Elna Solvang's comments on 2 Kings 4:42-44, here.
Nancy deClaisse-Walford on Psalm 145:10-18, here.
Arland Hultgren's presentation on Ephesians 3:14-21, here.
Brian Stoffregen on John 6:1-21, here.
Brian Peterson, also on John 6:1-21, here.

This coming Sunday's Prayer of the Day, for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, is:

Gracious God, You have placed within the hearts of all Your children a longing for Your Word and a hunger for Your truth. Grant that we may know Your Son to the true bread from heaven and share this bread with all the world, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen
