among you or among your livestock.

– Deuteronomy. 7:14

1st Lesson – Leviticus 26:1-13Promise of Blessing and Judgment 1 "You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred

pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

2You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD. 3"If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform

them, 4then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and

the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last

till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts,

and the sword will not go through your land.

First Lesson – Continued…   7 You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before

you. 8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put

ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. 9 "For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply

you and confirm My covenant with you. 10 You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the

new. 11 I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor

you. 12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My

people. 13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of

Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.

2nd Bible LessonMatt. 13:18-30

But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirty fold, some sixty, and some a

hundred. – Mark 4:20

2nd Lesson – Matt. 13:18-30

The Parable of the Sower Explained18 "Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

2nd Lesson – Matt. 13:18-30

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27So the servants of the owner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' 28He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.""'
