WORSHIP FOCUS

your faith journey with fpcl

Sunday, March 26th

  

Hello FPCL Family!


As we continue our exploration of table gatherings with Jesus for our journey through Lent, we turn our focus to Zacchaeus, a man of short stature who climbed a tree above the crowd hoping to see Jesus up close. To prepare for Sunday, try to read the story like you’ve never heard it before. What do your think Zacchaeus was like? What do you think motivated in both his life and his quest to see Jesus? Do you relate to him in any way?


Looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday~

with much love,

Denia

Luke 19:1-10
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”


Genesis 12:1-6

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
4So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot, and all the possessions that they had gathered, and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan, 6Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

One: Lent is a time to place our feet in the streets of Jerusalem, to 
walk along the sea and listen to Jesus’ words.

unfolding of the events to come.

*HYMN: #726 Will You Come and Follow Me (Vv. 1, 2, 4 & 5) 
Verse 1   Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?   
Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?   
Will you let my love be shown; will you let my name be known;   
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?”  
Verse 2  “Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?  
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?  
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? 
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?  
Verse 4   Will you love the ‘you’ you hide if I but call your name?   
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?   
Will you use the faith you’ve found to re-shape the world around,   
Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?”   
Verse 5  Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.   
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.   
In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show.   
Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
