CALL TO WORSHIP (based on Psalm 65)

God is gracious!  He shines his attention and love upon us.

Let all the peoples praise you, Lord!

We teach the world of your righteousness,

And proclaim your saving power among all nations.

Let all the peoples praise you, O God;

Let all the nations be glad and sing for joy!

PRAYER OF THE PEOPLE

What mighty praise belongs to You, O God,

for Your acts of love and faithfulness toward us!

 

In Your mercy You hear our prayers,

You forgive our sins,

You provide for our needs.

 

From one end of the earth to the other,

You inspire worship and praise!

Even nature celebrates Your goodness.

 

We, too, would offer our praise and thanksgiving

for Your mercy and Your faithful love toward us.

Receive our adoration,

our confession,

our thanksgiving.

 

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit

make Your presence known among us

that we may hear Your Word and know Your will.

 

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Intercessor, we pray:

 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.  Amen.

PRAYER OF COMMITMENT

Honestly God, your promise of a new life in Heaven seems so distant, so obscure!  Spectacles of violence and self-indulgence defile our conscious.  Sensitize us to the mosaic of personal and community struggles that envelope our brothers and sisters around the world.  Multiply these gifts for ministries that empower people to trust your holy Word.  We pray in the name of the holiest of teachers, Jesus the Messiah.  Amen.

CHRISTIANS AND COFFEE BEANS

Image
1 Peter 1:17-23 John 17:14-19 Potatoes, eggs or coffee beans? Which are Christians called to be? We're going to find out as we explore what it means to be “in the world but not of the world” in today's message, “Christians and Coffee Beans.” Put three pots of water on to boil. When the water begins to boil, put some potatoes in one, eggs in another pot, and coffee beans in the third point. Boil for 20 minutes The potatoes went into the pot hard. After boiling in the hot water, they are now soft, easily broken up and mashed. The eggs, with their fragile shells and soft centers, are also changed. They are now hard-boiled. The coffee beans are different. While they look the same as they did when they were put into the water, they have transformed the water. The water has taken on the smell, taste and color of the coffee Jesus was not of this world, yet he came into the world to redeem the world by his death and resurrection an...

OATHS -- GONE WITH THE WIND?

Image
Leviticus 19:11-12 Matthew 5:33-37 Even if we've never seen the movie, Gone with the Wind, we're probably familiar with Scarlett O'Hara's oath. Framed by the sunset, Scarlet raises her fist in defiance and says, “As God is my witness, I will never be hungry again!” In today's passage from the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus leads us into a new understanding of oaths and profanity. Did the character, Scarlett O’Hara in the movie, Gone with the Wind , take the Lord’s name in vain when she made her famous oath? “As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they’re not going to lick me. I’m going to live through this and when it’s all over, I’ll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again. Leviticus 19:11-12 tells us not to take oaths, make promises that profane the Lord’s name, that is take the Lord’s name in vain. Scarlett’s oath is a profane ...

"...  and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds...  " --  Hebrews 10:24  ( Amplified Bible) "Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing."  -- I Thessalonians 5:11 (NRSV)       To encourage means to:   give support, confidence, or hope to someone; give support and advice to someone to help them do or continue to do something; thelp stiulate development.  Encourage and building each other up go hand in hand.  Here are some ways we can encourage and build each other up which will in turn help us become healthy, thriving churches. 1.  Have high regards, great respect and favorable thoughts for each other. 2.  Be thoughtful and intentional when you speak.  Consider where someone is coming from and choose wisely your words. 3.  Be gracious.  When someone makes a mistake, be quick to forgive...
