 unison scripture
7:30 a.m.
Matthew 14:22-33 (NKJV)
22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into
the boat and go before Him to the other side,
while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when
He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on
the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when
evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the
boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by
the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 Now in
the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them,
walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples
saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled,
saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for
fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them,
saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be
afraid.” 28 And Peter answered Him and said,
“Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You
on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And
when Peter had come down out of the boat, he
walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But
when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he
was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out,
saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately
Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and
said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you
doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the
wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat
came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You
are the Son of God.”
11:00 a.m.
2 Chronicles 20:1/14-23 (NKJV)
1 It happened after this that the people of Moab
with the people of Ammon, and others with them
besides the Ammonites, came to battle against
Jehoshaphat.
14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon
Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of
Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a
Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the
assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of
Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you,
King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you:
‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this
great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but
God's. 16 Tomorrow go down against them.
They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz,
and you will find them at the end of the brook
before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not
need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves,
stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who
is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear
or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them,
Men’s Day, Sunday, October 16, 2005 3 ©2005 Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
for the Lord is with you.” 18 And Jehoshaphat
bowed his head with his face to the ground, and
all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed
before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then
the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and
of the children of the Korahites stood up to
praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud
and high.
20 So they rose early in the morning and went
out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they
went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me,
O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be
established; believe His prophets, and you shall
prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with
the people, he appointed those who should sing
to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of
holiness, as they went out before the army and
were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy
endures forever.” 22 Now when they began to
sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against
the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir,
who had come against Judah; and they were
defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and
Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount
Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when
they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir,
they helped to destroy one another.
6:00 p.m.
Acts 27:42-44 28:1-5 (NKJV)
42 And the soldiers' plan was to kill the
prisoners, lest any of them should swim away
and escape. 43 But the centurion, wanting to
save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and
commanded that those who could swim should
jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the
rest, some on boards and some on parts of the
ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to
land.
1 Now when they had escaped, they then found
out that the island was called Malta. 2 And the
natives showed us unusual kindness; for they
kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because
of the rain that was falling and because of the
cold. 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of
sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out
because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4
So when the natives saw the creature hanging
from his hand, they said to one another, “No
doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he
has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to
live.” 5 But he shook off the creature into the
fire and suffered no harm.
 HYMN OF PRAISE

from eternity: “And I, if I belifted up from the
earth, I’ll draw all them unto Me.”

I Am On The Battlefield For My Lord
Verse I

that I would serve Him til I die. I’m on the
battlefield for my Lord.

Crying sinner come to God, I’m on the
Battlefield for my Lord.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse III
Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a
smile, He healed my wounded spirit,
And owned me as His child, Around the throne
of grace, He appoints my soul a place,
I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.
(Repeat Chorus)

STOP THE CUTS!
Last May, Congress passed a budget
resolution requiring the congressional
appropriations committees to develop
legislation that would reduce spending by $212
billion over 10 years. Currently, the budget is
in the "reconciliation" process where
committees put final spending numbers on the
programs within their jurisdiction. Committees
must report those figures by the week of
October 17th. The committee bills will then be
merged into a single "reconciliation" bill.
The reconciliation bill includes cuts to
Medicaid, which are expected to exceed $10
billion, and cuts to food stamps of $3 billion.
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) for the
elderly and disabled is slated for cutbacks, as
are many more programs, including farm
subsidies, student loans, and TANF
(Temporary Assistance for Needy Families).
This budget reconciliation bill will cut to the
core of programs that make up the fragile
social safety net for poor and low-income
Americans. To send a message to Congress to
stop the current budget reconciliation process
and reconsider the proposed budget, log on to
http://www.ucctakeaction.org.
Take Action this week! On October
17-18, call your members of Congress to tell
them that now is not the time for budget
reconciliation. Call (800) 426-8073 and ask to

God Told Me To Lie!
Would you believe anybody who said
that to you? Would you believe anybody
who told you that God told them to tell a lie?
That is the latest from this Administration’s
arsenal of “Believe it or not.”
George Bush has claimed that he was
on a “Mission from God” when he launched
the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. This
alarming news is given to us by a senior
Palestinian politician in an interview that will
be broadcast by the British Broadcasting
System later this month.
Mr. Bush went to an Israeli-Palestinian
Summit in 2003, four months after the United
States invaded Iraq. One of the delegates to
that summit, Nabil Shaath was in attendance at
the summit. Mr. Shaath was the Palestinian
foreign minister at the time.
Mr. Shaath reports, “President Bush
said to all of us: ‘I am driven with a mission
from God.’ God would tell me ‘George, go
and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And
I did. And then God would tell me, ‘George,
go end the tyranny in Iraq.’ And I did.”

of lies that led this country into the war with
Iraq that has now caused the death of 1,950
American boys and girls, does it sound to you Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
like God would tell someone to lie to justify a
war and a preemptive strike? ---------------------------------------------
If you think that is a chilling reality,

consider this, in that same summit, Mr. Bush
said: “And now, again, I feel God’s words

of
coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their
State and get the Israelis their security, and get

peace in the Middle East.’ And, by God, I am
going to do it!”
Many African American Christians can of
look at those facts and not get upset. I look at
that quote, however, and it causes me grave The United Church of Christ

requests your presence at the

concern.

 Stewardship

What You Don’t See Is What You Get

Pretend that you want to raise carrots, but have

never seen them grow before. You just know
what they look like in the supermarket after
planting the seeds. You water, weed and watch
over your garden to keep away rabbits, but
weeks go by and you don’t see carrots! You’d
probably want to give up.

One day, a friend offers to help harvest your

carrot crop. “Sorry,” you say glumly, “there’s
nothing but some green leaves.” With one tug,
out pops a large carrot! All your work had
produced something, you just didn’t know it.

Stewardship can be like that. The Easter play from

someone to rededicate himself to Christ, but he

how her grades improved. Even the shut-in

unappreciated can be discouraging.

But God knows what you’re doing. And that

means something very important to Him.
