March Worship and Preaching

     We begin the month with the Second Epistle of Peter.  Years have passed; Peter is older now as he reflects on his experiences with The Lord Jesus.  Peter shares in an effort to engage persons who never heard or believed inJesus.  Our faith is strengthened by the witness of the apostles as well as other people.
     On Ash Wednesday we again turn to the "Sermon on the Mount,"the foundational teachings of Jesus.  We are reminded that what counts is not the outward appearance, but rather what is in our hearts. Jesus offers practical teaching for living out our faith.
     The first Sunday of Lent we return to the Garden of Eden to discover how sin and rebellion entered the world.  There are times when we are tempted to do what we know is wrong as well.
     On March 16 we turn to the Gospel of John.  A prominent religious leader, Nicodemus, pays Jesus a nighttime visit.  While Nicodemus realized Jesus came from God, he has a hard time comprehending Jesus' teachings. Within this lesson are familiar and favorite verses, including "For God so lived the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
     The following Sunday we see an instance where Jesus willingly broke cultural barriers of his day by speaking with a Samaritan woman.  At the end of the day, Jesus' conversation with the unnamed woman led many in that town to believe in Jesus.
     The last  Sunday of the month we turn to the Old Testament book of First Samuel.  The prophet Samuel is charged with the task of annointing the next King of Israel.  We learn that God does not look at outward appearances but sees into a person's heart.  Young Davis ais anointed King.
     Each month the lessons are shared to spark interest and to encourage persons to read and reflect on them prior to our worship service.  Reflection questions along with prayers can be found on the back page of the worship bulletin each Sunday.
