Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that, as the Scriptures are read and your Word proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen Scripture... Mark 3: Doris Offield Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, Stand up in front of everyone. Then Jesus asked them, Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand. He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus. Th is is the Wo rd of Go d for the people of Go d. Thanks be to God! Amen! Sermon... The Day of Divine Visitation... Pastor Steve Summer Series: A View From the Top Invitation Hymn...

Jack Hyles, ( ) It is when people rise above expectation and seize the opportunity that milestones are reached. Max Lucado, (1955- ) Those times when you feel like quitting are the times of great opportunity, for God uses our troubles to help us grow. Warren Wiersbe, (1929- ) Turn your situation over to God because God can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime. Rick Warren, (1954- ) Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened. TS Eliot, ( ) 4
