Call to worship:
16 Thus says the Lord,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18 “Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.Isaiah 43:16-19

Questions for reflection:
Where do you see similarities with the church today and Pergamum?
How is our living into the truthfulness of Jesus tested today?
If sin doesn’t sustain or protect, how does Jesus provide and secure his people?
