Here are the November 2022 Bible readings which we’ll be using in church. Please make use of these readings and reflect on what they might be saying to you.

The readings

This month we have Job wanting his complaint put on permanent record, ovens burning, shepherds and scattered sheep plus swords being up-cycled into ploughshares. We also have 1 bride for 7 brothers, hair not perishing and a King on a cross.

• November 6 – 3rd before Advent: Job 19:23-27a; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-end; Luke 20:27-38;
• November 13 – Remembrance: Malachi 4:1-2a; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Luke 21:5-19;

If you don’t have access to a Bible, then please follow this link to the Vanderbilt Divinity Library. It’s not always the same but it’s normally pretty close.

Amongst the November 2022 Bible Readings we have these well-known verses from Isaiah…

Isaiah 2:1-5

The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

In days to come
    the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.

Many peoples shall come and say,
‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.’
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

He shall judge between the nations,
    and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
    and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
    neither shall they learn war any more.

O house of Jacob,
    come, let us walk
    in the light of the Lord!
