Diocese of East Tennessee: Weekly Lectionary

Diocese of East Tennessee: Weekly Lectionary: "Today's readings extend the call to discipleship. In 1 Samuel, the voice of the Lord awakens a sleeping Samuel, who responds with attentive obedience. Paul outlines how those called by God are to honor their physical bodies. Jesus calls his first disciples Philip and Nathanael with the simple invitation, Follow me (v. 43)."

Is this the connection? The voice is the call to discipleship. What does this tell us about the nature of discipleship? We hear the voice of God, he knows our thoughts. His thoughts are weighty to us, his temple, Holy.
