About this Episode

Opening Song: 

Morning by Morning by Ben Smith, Daniel Bashta, Mack Brock, and Pat Barrett

Lyrics:

Daily daily I surrender

Grace for today is all that I need

Surprised by Your mercy

It's new every morning

 

Awaken my soul to sing (2X)

 

I will trust where You lead

I will trust when I can't see

Morning by morning

Great is Your faithfulness to me

 

Breath by breath overtaken by want

One step at a time when I'm overwhelmed

Strength for today

Bright hope for tomorrow

 

I will trust with all my heart

You are good You always are

Morning by morning

Great is Your faithfulness to me

 

All fear be reminded

My future is secure

Oh my Father has spoken

And He keeps His every word

 

Oh I will trust

Oh morning by morning

Passage: 

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

 Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

Musical Reflection: 

JESUS, REMEMBER ME by Jacques Berthier 

Reflection Notes: 

“Jesus, Remember Me” is a tune from the French Taizé tradition; these simple songs are meant to be repeated indefinitely with added instrumentation or voice parts. They are meant to be meditative and allow for prayer. 4

Prayer:

Almighty and everlasting God, in your tender love for us you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon himself our nature, and to suffer death upon the Cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and come to share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
