Sunday’s Sermon:
Aliso Creek Church Podcast
Passage:
13 Jesus went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them. 14 Then, passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him,“Follow me,” and he got up and followed him.
15 While he was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him. 16 When the scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners? ”
17 When Jesus heard this, he told them,“It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.” -- Mark 2:13-17 (CSB)

Lyrics:
Are you faint and feeble
Are you weary child
Jesus will surely give you rest
Is your burden heavy
From the weight of sin
Jesus forgives when you confess
O come all sinners come all saints
To Christ our Savior who rules and reigns
Bring your gladness bring your pain
His arms are open today
Do you fear you’ve wandered
Further than His grace
Jesus is reaching out His hand
Are you mourning loss
And are you hurting deep
Jesus says death is not the end
Jesus Jesus how I trust Him
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more
Come all sinners
Come all saints
Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
