Third Sunday of Easter
John 21:1-19
“Redeeming Peter”
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Second Sunday of Easter, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Redeeming Peter”. We will be reading from John 21:1-19 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 30.
Call to Worship, Psalm 30:1-5, 11-12
Leader: I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up,
People: And did not let my foes rejoice over me.
Leader: O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
People: And you have healed me.
Leader: O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol,
People: Restored me to life from those gone down to the Pit.
Leader: Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,
People: And give thanks to his holy name.
Leader: For his anger is but for a moment;
People: His favor is for a lifetime.
Leader: Weeping may linger for the night,
People: But joy comes with the morning.
Leader: You have turned my mourning into dancing;
People: You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
Leader: So that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
People: O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
Questions for Further Reflection:
This passage is one about restoring balance.
How does Jesus bring balance back into the disciples’ lives?
Why would balance be important for discipleship?
