Lectionary Preaching Workbook
Lesson 1: Leviticus 19:1-2, 9-18 (C, E); Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18 (L, RC)
Yahweh commands the people to be holy and to love one's neighbor. Leviticus emphasized the holiness of God. What he is by nature, his followers are to be the same. To have God is to be godly. What is God like? He is holy, generous, honest, truthful and above all is love. Accordingly, a godly person loves his neighbor as one loves himself.
Lesson 2: 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 (C, E, L); 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 (RC)
