Welcome to our Worship for the Second Sunday in Lent, February 28, 2021.
ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
This week’s readings are:
Genesis 17:1-7,15-16; Psalm 22:23-31; Romans 4:13-25; Mark 8:31-38
Today’s First Testament story from Genesis is closely linked to today’s portion of Paul’s letter to the Romans. Indeed the account of God’s covenant with Abraham is specifically cited by Paul, as it functions centrally in his overall argument for Abraham as the paradigm of faith for believers in every generation. A central element in the psalm is the promise that all nations will eventually turn to the Lord and worship him, also a critical point in Paul’s argument. The Gospel story tells of the first passion prediction followed by Jesus’ instructions concerning discipleship.
“If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” – Jesus.
