Saturday Sermon Series: “PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE”
When American composer and conductor, Leonard
Bernstein, was asked what was the most difficult instrument
to play, he responded, “Second fiddle. I can get plenty of
first violinists, but to find someone who plays second
violin with enthusiasm is difficult. Yet, if no one plays
second fiddle, we have no harmony.” That is true in the
kingdom of God. Yes, God works through the great stars of
the Biblical story: Moses, King David, the Apostle Paul. But
it is equally true that God works through “actors in a
supporting role.”
Some of the persons we will study in this
Saturday sermon series include:
· JOHN THE BAPTIST – Advance Man for the Messiah
· ANDREW – Living in Peter’s Shadow
· BARNABAS – The Son of Encouragement
· SILAS – Missionary Partner
This series, led by both pastors, runs
through June and July. See how God works through the lives and
ministries of the less famous.
