First Lesson
Ezekiel 18:26-32
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness,
and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity
that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness
that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right,
he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions
that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet
saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal.
O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according
to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves
from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have
transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for
why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith
the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Second Lesson
John 4:43-54
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour
in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the
feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick
at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee,
he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and
heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then
said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will
not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the
man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he
went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend.
And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and
his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judaea into Galilee.
2nd Lesson Questions:
John 4:43-54. Does man still demand signs and wonders? (V. 48) Do I? How so? What does that say about my faith? RESOLVE.
