Fifth Sunday of Lent (Passion Sunday)
Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace
Where there is hatred let me bring Your love
Where there's injury grant mercy O Lord
Where there's doubt true faith in You
Where there's despair let me bring Your hope
Where there's darkness let me bring Your light
Where there's sadness ever joy
O Divine Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
It's in forgiving that we are forgiven
In giving of ourselves that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life

Deuteronomy 30.11-end
11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for
you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will
ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for
us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very
near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 16 If you
obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you today,
by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his
commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and
multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land that you are
entering to take possession of it. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you will
not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I
declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the
land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven
and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring
may live, 20 loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to
him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that
1 of 7
the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give
them.”
Psalm 1:
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Luke 6.37-49
37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be
condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to
you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put
into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will
they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but
everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see
the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your
own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the
speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your
own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you
will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good
fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from
thorn bushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good
person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil
person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone
who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what
he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the
foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that
house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one
who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the
ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it
fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”
2 of 7Come and see come and see
Come and see the King of love
See the purple robe and crown of thorns He wears
Soldiers mock rulers sneer
As He lifts the cruel cross
Lone and friendless now He climbs towards the hill
We worship at your feet
Where wrath and mercy meet
And a guilty world is washed by love's pure stream
For us He was made sin
Oh help me take it in
Deep wounds of love cry out 'Father forgive '
I worship, I worship the Lamb who was slain
Come and weep come and mourn
For your sin that pierced Him there
So much deeper than the wounds of thorn and nail
All our pride all our greed
All our fallenness and shame
And the Lord has laid the punishment on Him
Man of heaven born to earth
To restore us to Your heaven
Here we bow in awe beneath Your searching eyes
From Your tears comes our joy
From Your death our life shall spring
By Your resurrection power we shall rise

Discussion Questions:
Icebreaker: can you think of a time recently when you have had to use your
discernment to judge a situation or person?
Why does Jesus tell us not to judge?
How can we tell good from evil, good fruit from bad, or specks from logs?
How do we discern good leaders who won’t lead us into a pit? v.40
What does it mean to dig deep foundations in following Jesus as Lord?
