The readings for All Saints' Day do not change from one year to the next, so if you're looking for those, check out that episode from last year: https://anchor.fm/rev-steve-andrews-jr0/episodes/Year-A---All-Saints-Day-eln945

Bonus Episode - John 8:31-36 - Reformation Sunday
This weekend is Reformation Sunday. Across the three-year lectionary, this festival is celebrated each year, and the readings do not differ from one year to the next. There is, however, an option for the pastor of the local congregation to choose between one of two gospel texts. I covered the Matthew 11:12-19 reading last year, so here's the study on John 8:31-36. I've also added it back into the old episode. So you can listen to the whole thing here: https://anchor.fm/rev-steve-andrews-jr0/episodes/Year-A---Reformation-Sunday-ele6mo

Year B - Proper 26
This weekend of 2021 will be Reformation Sunday in our churches. Those readings are the same each year, and so you can tune in to that episode here: https://anchor.fm/rev-steve-andrews-jr0/episodes/Year-A---Reformation-Sunday-ele6mo.
But for those who aren't celebrating the Reformation, and are sticking with the three year lectionary, this Sunday is Proper 26, and you would read from Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Hebrews 9:11-14 (15-22), and Mark 12:28-37. So, I've put together some notes for you on those readings, also. The Lord be with you!

Introduction and Purpose
Many churches use a lectionary, that is a series of Bible readings that are used in their worship together. In a one year lectionary, you would read the same Scriptures in church this weekend next year that you would read this weekend. In this podcast, we will do a weekly Bible study (45-60 minutes) on the LCMS' three year lectionary, which is what we use in the congregation I serve. Our lectionary includes an Old Testament reading, Epistle reading, and Gospel reading, for each week of the church calendar year. It is my goal to help you grow deeper in your understanding of God's Word by providing context and commentary, as well as showing you how these verses all point you to who Jesus is and what He's done for you!
