Pentecost Sunday
Genesis 11:1-9
“Making a Name for Ourselves”
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, “Making a Name for Ourselves”. We will be reading from Genesis 11:1-9 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 104.
Call to Worship, Psalm 104:24, 27-30, 33-34
Leader: O LORD, how manifold are your works!
People: The earth is full of your creatures.
Leader: These all look to you to give them their food in due season;
People: When you give to them, they gather it up;
Leader: When you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
People: When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
Leader: When you take away their breath,
People: They die and return to their dust.
Leader: When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
People: And you renew the face of the ground.
Leader: I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
People: I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
Leader: May my meditation be pleasing to him,
People: For I rejoice in the LORD.
Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, the people of Babel try to “make a name for themselves.”
What does it mean to you to “make a name for yourself”?
How might that lead you away from God?
