Call to Worship One: Disciples -- do you see what God sees? All: A new heaven and a new earth are coming! One: Worshippers – do you hear what God hears? All: Shouts of joy! Songs of praise! For the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. One: People of God – a new heaven and new earth are coming! All: As we live and love like God. As we serve like our Savior. One: Come, let us worship the Lord, who is about to do a new thing. All: Through every woman and man. Every child and elder. Use us Lord! Alleluia and Amen!

The Spoken Word “New Beginnings...” Ms. Stacie Hawkins Sermon Notes Key Scriptures:   Mark 2:21-22 — No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.” Zechariah 8:16 — These are the things which you [women] should do: speak truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates.

Key Questions: 1. Are you the kind of woman (or disciple) who lifts others? 2. How can you prepare for the new thing God desires to do through you? 3. What does it mean to be a new wineskin? A vessel that is ready to be used? _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
