Acts 2:42-47
“Baseball”
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Baseball”. This message is part of an ongoing series titled, “The Power and the Glory”. We will be reading from Acts 2:42-47 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 23.
Call to Worship 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:
When Luke tells this story, he emphasizes the communal aspect of church.
Why is community so important for church members?
Why is church community so important for outsiders?
