Today is the beginning of our Lenten sermon series featuring one of the most well known disciples, Peter. Peter had a faith journey that was full of ups and downs, making him relatable for most of us. Today’s scripture passage focuses on Jesus’ calling of Peter: how he sought him, a fisherman, in the midst of his daily work. As we explore Peter’s calling, we’ll also reflect on the beginning of our faith stories. When and how did Jesus seek us? How are we responding to God’s call?
Each week in Lent, our scripture reading about Jesus and Peter will be paired with a line from the hymn “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” This week the phrase comes from verse 2 of the hymn and from the line that says: “Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God.”
Scripture passages: Psalm 25:1-10; Luke 5:1-11
