UNISON SCRIPTURE
7:30 a.m.
John 1:43–51 (NRSV)
43
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee.
He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of
Andrew and Peter. 45Philip found Nathanael
and said to him, “We have found him about
whom Moses in the law and also the prophets
wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.”
46
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good
come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him,
“Come and see.” 47When Jesus saw Nathanael
coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is
truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48
Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get
to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you
under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49
Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son
of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50Jesus
answered, “Do you believe because I told you
that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see
greater things than these.” 51And he said to
him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven
opened and the angels of God ascending and
descending upon the Son of Man.”
11:00 a.m.
Esther 4:12–17/5:1–4 (NIV)
12
When Esther’s words were reported to
Mordecai, 13he sent back this answer: “Do not
think that because you are in the king’s house
you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14For if you
remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance
 UNISON SCRIPTURE
for the Jews will arise from another place, but
you and your father’s family will perish. And
who knows but that you have come to royal
position for such a time as this?” 15Then Esther
sent this reply to Mordecai: 16“Go, gather
together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast
for me. Do not eat or drink for three days,
night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do.
When this is done, I will go to the king, even
though it is against the law. And if I perish, I
perish.” 17So Mordecai went away and carried
out all of Esther’s instructions.”
1
On the third day Esther put on her royal robes
and stood in the inner court of the palace, in
front of the king’s hall. The king was sitting on
his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance.
2
When he saw Queen Esther standing in the
court, he was pleased with her and held out
to her the gold scepter that was in his hand.
So Esther approached and touched the tip of
the scepter. 3Then the king asked, “What is it,
Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up
to half the kingdom, it will be given you.” 4“If
it pleases the king,” replied Esther, “let the
king, together with Haman, come today to a
banquet I have prepared for him.”
6:00 p.m.
Genesis 27:30–40 (NRSV)
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob,
30
when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the
presence of his father Isaac, his brother Esau
Sunday, February 11, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
came in from his hunting. 31He also prepared
savory food, and brought it to his father. And he
said to his father, “Let my father sit up and eat
of his son’s game, so that you may bless me.”
32
His father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?”
He answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.”
33
Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who
was it then that hunted game and brought it
to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I
have blessed him?� yes, and blessed he shall be!”
34
When Esau heard his father’s words, he cried
out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and
said to his father, “Bless me, me also, father!”
35
But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully,
and he has taken away your blessing.” 36Esau
said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has
supplanted me these two times. He took away
my birthright; and look, now he has taken away
my blessing.” Then he said, “Have you not
reserved a blessing for me?” 37Isaac answered
Esau, “I have already made him your lord, and
I have given him all his brothers as servants,
and with grain and wine I have sustained him.
What then can I do for you, my son?” 38Esau
said to his father, “Have you only one blessing,
father? Bless me, me also, father!” And Esau
lifted up his voice and wept. 39Then his father
Isaac answered him: “See, away from the fatness
of the earth shall your home be, and away from
the dew of heaven on high. 40By your sword you
shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but
when you break loose, you shall break his yoke
from your neck.”

“The Bible Experience”

“Have you picked up your copy of “The Bible
Experience” yet? “The Bible Experience” is the
New Testament recorded on nineteen CD’s.
In addition to the text of the New Testament,
there is a free “Behind the Scenes” DVD
dramatized sound effects and a full musical score.
“The Bible Experience” brings together over
three-hundred African-American personalities
from the fields of acting, religion, music, sports,
comedy and broadcasting.
All of these personalities are cast as different
characters of the Bible.
The wide variety of notable persons who
have recorded “The Bible Experience” includes
Denzel Washington, Blair Underwood,
Angela Bassett, Yolanda Adams,
Cuba Gooding, Jr., Kirk Franklin and our
own member, Common!
You can pick up your copy of “The Bible
Experience” today in the Akiba. It will
make an excellent gift for someone who is
celebrating the life and ministry of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We often lose sight of the fact that Dr. King was a minister of the Gospel!
The stories from the Bible are what shaped Dr. King’s faith. The stories told on “The Bible
Experience” are the stories that undergirded King’s life and ministry throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
We often think of Dr. King as a Civil Rights leader. Dr. King was much more, however. He was
first and foremost a minister of the Gospel. As a minister of the Gospel it was the Bible (or the Bible
Experience) that shaped his perspective and changed this nation!
Pick up your copy today.

 stewardship

the results of a Redeemed Life

STEWARDSHIP IS SERVICE

A
teacher challenged an elder saying, “You are always
saying that God provides the means for those who do
His work. Where do I find that in the Bible?”
The elder took a few days to research, then reported to
the teacher as follows: “That saying is from the Bible, not a
quotation, and I most earnestly believe in it. It derives from
passages such as, “I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.”
The search was rewarding, because it reminded me that
service to God is a giving of self.
It reminded me that service to our church is the highest
order of worship. It reminded me that service to God and our
fellow man is the most sincere expression of our love of God.
Service is the most instructive way of teaching the world,
because we are teaching by example. Service is the most
persuasive form of evangelism, because we bring the hand of
God to the untaught. We are the hands, the eyes and the ears
of God.
Service is the most eloquent witness to God because we
demonstrate that God is in our lives, rather than merely
saying words. Directing our energy toward service to God
helps us to focus on our purpose in life.

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
