When Words Get In The Way

Welcome to your Sunday morning worship from St. George’s.

I have some suggested hymns or a song you can sing along with before and/or after if you choose. 

Here is traditional Hymn that you could start with if you would like to sing along, The Church’s One Foundation.

Here is our Gospel reading for this morning, Matthew 16:13-20:

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.1

Here is your Sunday prayers and Message:

Here is a another traditional hymn to end your worship with, Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken.

Or if you are looking for something more contemporary to sing, Open the Eyes of My Heart.

I hope you have a blessed week.

Be Well and God Bless.

Peace,

The Rev’d Canon Rob Park
