PROCLAIM

The Third Sunday in Lent

JEREMIAH 1:17 (MSG)
Stand up and say your piece. Say exactly what I tell you to say.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:5 (CEV)
We are not preaching about ourselves. Our message is that Jesus Christ is Lord.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Our goal is that ultimately everything we say and do is about Jesus.

PRAYER
God, throughout the ages you have called people to share your messages with the world. Forgive me for the slow way in which I respond to this call in my setting. I worry that I might get it wrong or offend someone or that it will take over my life. Help me to proclaim that Jesus is Lord through all my words and actions. I'm going to look for you to lead me so that I can speak up. Amen.
