Matthew 5:1-12
Rev. Benjamin Wines
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
Let the humble hear and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
Look to him, and be radiant;
So your faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
And was saved from every trouble.
The angel of the Lord encamps
Around those who fear him, and delivers them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good;
Happy are those who take refuge in him.
We look forward in sharing in worship with you on Sunday, November 5th, starting at 11:00AM. Our Call to Worship is from Psalm 34, and our Scripture reading is from Matthew 5:1-12. Today, Rev. Benjamin Wines brings the sermon, “Faith Legacies“.
Today is All Saint’s Day. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV)
Questions for Further Reflection:
- Who are some of the Christians in your own life that have influenced your faith in a positive way?
- What hope can a day like All Saints provide for the future?
