November 24 at Batavia First UMC

The twenty-seventh Sunday after Pentecost.

Christ the King Sunday

Our Scripture lesson for the day is Revelation 1: 4b – 8

Pastor Wayne’s morning message is titled Overwhelmed.  Jesus Christ is Lord and King.  His reign, begun from the Cross, will be brought to fruition.  The pretend rulers of this world do not have the final word.  They will be overwhelmed.  Jesus will reign.

There will be a brief Hymn Sing at the conclusion of the service.

It is also Stewardship Sunday.  All members of the congregation are kindly reminded to complete the Estimate of Giving card that was given to them so that it can be turned in on Sunday.

 

Revelation 1: 4b-8 (NRSV)

Introduction and Salutation

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

     To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood, and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever.  Amen.

     Look!  He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.  So it is to be.  Amen.

     “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
