2 Peter 1:16-21
“Boldness”
Transfiguration Sunday
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
This Sunday is Transfiguration Sunday.
Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Boldness”. Our Scripture passage comes from 2 Peter 1:16-21 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 99. We look forward to joining you in this time of Worship.
Call to Worship (from Psalm 99)
Leader: The Lord is great in Zion;
People: He is exalted over all the peoples.
Leader: Let them praise your great and awesome name.
People: Holy is he!
Leader: Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity;
People: You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Leader: Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also called on his name.
People: They cried to the Lord, and he answered them.
Leader: He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
People: They kept his decrees, and the statutes that he gave them.
Leader: O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them,
People: But an avenger of their wrongdoings.
Leader: Extol the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain;
People: For the Lord our God is holy.
Questions for Further Reflection:
We tend to think of “boldness” as something aggressive or brash.
What does it mean to have a bold faith?
How does boldly living by the gospel’s teaching differ from brashness?
