Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
Luke 6:17-26
“The Sermon”
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 Sermon”. We will be reading from Luke 6:17-26, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 1.
Call to Worship, from Psalm 1
Leader: Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
People: Or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;
Leader: But their delight is in the law of the Lord,
People: And on his law they meditate day and night.
Leader: They are like trees planted by streams of water,
People: Which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.
Leader: In all that they do, they prosper.
People: The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Leader: Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment,
People: Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
Leader: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
People: But the way of the wicked will perish.
Questions for Further Reflection:
The tension in this passage issues a challenge to us modern Christians.
Where are my blind spots, that is, who are the people I may not realize I’m ignoring?
What would it mean to go looking for them?
What should I do when I find them?
