Lent - February 22

18Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 19And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.  20The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.  21No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.  22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins."23One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees were saying to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" 25And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:  26how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?"  27And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.  28So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."-----“Sound & Season” is written by Jeff HeineNarration by Jeff Heine & Lauren Barry StarnesEngineering by Joel Blount & Caleb ChanceyProduction by Jeffrey Heine, Joel Blount, & Caleb ChanceyMusic by Chad Lawson -----“Sound & Season” is a devotional ministry of Redeemer Community Church in Birmingham, Alabama. To listen to full sermons from RCC, visit Sermons.  To find out more about out church, visit http://rccbirmingham.org
