Daily Readings

At the heart of our mission of Serving with Joy, Living in Christ is a deep commitment to the Holy Scriptures. The LSB Daily Lectionary guides us through the Word of God, providing a steady rhythm for our life together in the Church and in our homes.

Why read daily? As Lutherans, we believe that God’s Word is the "only rule and norm" of our faith. By reading these Old and New Testament passages, we see the beautiful story of God’s grace—promises made and promises kept in Jesus. We invite you to use this schedule for your daily devotions as we seek to grow in faith, and live in Christ.
