“Letting Others In”
Rev. Benjamin Wines
Trinity Sunday
Today is Trinity Sunday. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Letting Others In”. Our Scripture passage comes from Matthew 28:16-20 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 8. We look forward to joining you in this time of Worship.
Call to Worship (from Psalm 8)
Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
People: You have set your glory above the heavens.
Leader: Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark,
People: To silence the enemy and the avenger.
Leader: When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
People: The moon and the stars that you have established;
Leader: What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
People: Mortals that you care for them?
Leader: Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
People: And crowned them with glory and honor.
Leader: You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
People: You have put all things under their feet,
Leader: All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
People: The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
Leader: Whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
People: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, Jesus tells his disciples to bring people into the community.
What does it mean to truly be a part of a community?
Why is it risky to bring others in?
Why does God call us to do it anyway?
