The Challenge

February 23, 2025
Seventh Sunday after Epiphany
Luke 6:27-38
“The Challenge”
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 Challenge”.  We will be reading from Luke 6:27-38, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 37

Call to Worship, from Psalm 37

Leader: The Lord knows the days of the blameless,

People: And their heritage will abide forever;

Leader: They are not put to shame in evil times,

People: In the days of famine they have abundance.

Leader: Our steps are made firm by the Lord,

People: When he delights in our way;

Leader: Though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,

People: For the Lord holds us by the hand.

Leader: Depart from evil, and do good;

People: So you shall abide forever.

Leader: For the Lord loves justice;

People: He will not forsake his faithful ones.

Leader: The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;

People: He is their refuge in the time of trouble.

Questions for Further Reflection:

This passage calls us to love our enemies.

Why would Jesus call us to do that?
