Hi, friends. I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. We say often around here that you don't

have to be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.

I think that's so true, so I'm really glad you're here with us today. The Gospels are the first

four books of the New Testament, the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories of

Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the miracles.

Each month we read all four books, so go ahead and subscribe today and join us as we read the

Gospels together. If you're loving spending time in the Gospels every day, invite someone to join

you to join us just for the end of July. It's a great way for them to try it out and see if they

want to commit for the month of August. Yes, we're doing it again in August. Okay, so here's our

works. I'll read three chapters to you today. You can listen or read along in your own Bible,

and then I'll pray, and that's it. So today is July 22nd, day 22 of this month, and I'll be reading

chapter 13 through 15. And this month, I am reading from the CSB.

Luke 13. At that time, some people came and reported to him about the Galileans whose blood

pilot had mixed with their sacrifices. And he responded to them, do you think that these

Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered these things? No,

I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as well. Are these 18 that the tower of

Salon fell on and killed? Do you think they were more sinful than all the other people who live in

Jerusalem? No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as well. And he told this

parable, a man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and

found none. He told the vineyard worker, listen, for three years, I've come looking for fruit on

this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down. Why should it even waste the soil,

but he replied to him, sir, leave it this year also until I dig around it and fertilize it.
