“Perhaps [the critics are right and] the drama is played out now and Jesus is safely dead and buried. Perhaps. It is ironical and entertaining to consider that at least once in the world’s history those words might have been said with complete conviction, and that was on the eve of the Resurrection.”
– Dorothy Sayers, The Whimsical Christian
This Sunday we are in Acts 13, when Paul and Barnabas are in Antioch, and preach about the Truth of Christ’s Resurrection. We invite you to look over this excerpt from our bulletin in preparations for this Sunday.
First Scripture reading: John 11:17-27
Sermon Text: Acts 13:13-43
A Prayer for Today: “O Lord, who has taught us that all our doings without love are worth nothing: Send your Holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever lives is counted dead before you. Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.” (BCP 1662 – The Next Sunday Before Lent)
Music: “The King of Love My Shepherd Is.”
Reflect:
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.

“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
– Mark 9:24
