Third Sunday after Epiphany
“The Mission”
Luke 4:14-21
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sunday, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “The Mission”. We will be reading from Luke 4:14-21, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 19.
Call to Worship Psalm 19:7-10, 14
Leader: The law of the Lord is perfect,
People: Reviving the soul;
Leader: The decrees of the Lord are sure,
People: Making wise the simple;
Leader: The precepts of the Lord are right,
People: Rejoicing the heart;
Leader: The commandment of the Lord is clear,
People: Enlightening the eyes;
Leader: The fear of the Lord is pure,
People: Enduring forever;
Leader: The ordinances of the Lord are true
People: And righteous altogether.
Leader: More to be desired are they than gold,
People: Even much fine gold;
Leader: Sweeter also than honey,
People: And drippings of the honeycomb.
Leader: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
People: Be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, Jesus plainly states the purpose of his ministry — the lowly will be lifted up.
Why does the gospel start with the lowly?
How can we join Jesus in his mission?
