Inspiration Passage

June 7th, 2026 Service

⁷ “Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
    O Israel, I will testify against you.
    I am God, your God.
⁸ Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
    your burnt offerings are continually before me.
⁹ I will not accept a bull from your house
    or goats from your folds.
¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine,
    the cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹ I know all the birds of the hills,
    and all that moves in the field is mine.

¹² “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
    for the world and its fullness are mine.
¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?
¹⁴ Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,^[b]
    and perform your vows to the Most High,
¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”

— Psalm 50:7-15 (ESV)

Jesus Calls Matthew

⁹ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

¹⁰ And as Jesus^[a] reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. ¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” ¹² But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. ¹³ Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

— Matthew 9:9-13 (ESV)

One Hundred and Twenty Five Years

Written by member Frank Fawcett to celebrate Linway’s 125th Anniversary on June 1, 2022.

God of Creation
God of All times
God of All reason
God of All rhyme

Thank God and give glory
For all of these years
He truly has blessed us
With Laughter and Tears

With Friendship and Fellowship
We, Together are one
One in the Father 
One in the Son

One in the Spirit
Yet somehow unique 
We all have good reason
To reach out and speak

Good reason to celebrate 
To dispel all our fears
Thank God for 
"One Hundred and Twenty Five Years"
