Welcome!
Thank you for joining us in worship this the fifth week of Lent. Our prayer is that as you worship with us your faith is revived and your relationship with Jesus deepens.
This weekend, as we continue a study of the Gospel of Luke, we find Jesus on trial. By the end we see that he wasn’t the only one with questions to answer. Each of us, just like Pilate and the Temple leaders, must answer the question “Who is Jesus?”.
If you didn’t know, our church is one of three sister churches here in Rock Hall who share the same mission, to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of our community and the world.
Everyone is welcome here because no one here is perfect, but together anything can happen.
The same power that has transformed our lives is transforming our community as we live out our faith, sharing and showing God’s love, by serving our neighbors and telling the story of how His love transformed our lives.
If you have any questions about our church or want to discuss your faith journey, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. My email is gary@yourrockhall.church and my office telephone is 410-639-2144.
Thank you again for joining us.
Pastor Gary

Benediction
Life is much more than an accident. Wherever I go, I believe God needs me there. Wherever I am, I trust God has put me there. He has a purpose for me being there -
Christ, alive in me, wants to do something through me, no matter where I am.
I believe this and go in His grace and His love and His power.
If you would like someone to pray with you, please come and meet one of our ministry leaders at the end of the service.

Message Notes:
Luke #56: The Trial
The truth about suffering:
It’s not unusual… it’s normal
1 Peter 4:12–13
Suffering is not a sign of God’s disapproval
1 Peter 4:1–2
Faith doesn’t keep us free of, but guides us through suffering.
Romans 12:17–21
Don’t repay evil for evil
Trust the outcome to God
This week’s YouVersion Bible Reading Plan:
So why go on this journey? Lent invites me to face that which we’d rather avoid. For 40 days we go on a journey dedicated to isolation, prayer, and fasting. May this Lent journey be a confirmation of how God is always with us, give us the courage to go to places we would rather avoid, and let us experience his provision once more.
