Having focussed on the Lord as our Salvation last week, this week we turn our attention to readings that proclaim that the Lord is our King.

Daily Reading: Philippians 3:1-14 But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.
