Week one
Mark 8: 27-33
Rev Mary Beth Hardesty-Crouch
Scripture
27 Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” 29 He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.” 30 And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”
Call to worship
In the name of Jesus Christ, the bread breaker, the cross carrier
We come to worship
Following the One who is the Way, the peace maker, the temple disrupter
We live our lives
Let us draw close to our Lord, our Savior, our teacher, and our companion
And offer our grateful praise
