1 Samuel 16:1-13
“Seeing Differently”
Fourth Sunday in Lent
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
This Sunday is The Fourth Sunday in Lent.
Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “What Do We Deserve?” Our Scripture passage comes from 1 Samuel 16:1-13 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 23. We look forward to joining you in this time of Worship.
Call to Worship (from Psalm 23)
Leader: The Lord is my shepherd
People: I shall not want.
Leader: He makes me lie down in green pastures;
People: He leads me beside still waters;
Leader: He restores my soul.
People: He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Leader: Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
People: I fear no evil, for you are with me;
Leader: Your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
People: You prepare a table before me,
Leader: In the presence of my enemies;
People: You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Leader: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
People: All the days of my life.
Leader: And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
People: My whole life long.
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, God sees differently and rejects worldly signs of power.
How can we do the same?
How does sin twist our sight and hold us back?
