SCRIPTURE Matthew 10:24-39 24 ‘A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; 25it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household! 26 ‘So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. 27What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. 28Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground unperceived by your Father. 30And even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 ‘Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; 33but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven. 34 ‘Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. 37Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

THE SERVICE OF WORSHIP 11:10 a.m. ~ 2nd Service News of the Church Prelude The Liturgy (standing) Almighty and gracious God, you have made yourself known to us in a multitude of ways, and each of those ways invites us to respond to you with grateful hearts. You have been present with us even before our thoughts and words and feelings ever turned toward you. You created us in your own image, redeemed us with your love, and have always sustained us with your grace. When we think of you, gracious God, we think of your compassion and tender mercies toward us all, and we are humbled with gratitude. Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy One Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son (repeat)
And now let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich Because of what the Lord has done for us" And now let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich Because of what the Lord has done for us" Give thanks. ©1978 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music CCLI #2830492
You have not left us to live alone in this world, but have called us to be members of your body, the church. We thank you for all those in the past who shared their faith with us and for those in the present who help to shape our response to your love. We are grateful for the nurture we receive and the mission we have been given to manifest the good news of Jesus Christ to the world around us. You have not left us without written and living testimony to your involvement in human history. We thank you for the Holy Scriptures and the insights they provide for us in our mission and ministry. We are grateful for the words and stories of judgment and justice, comfort and renewal, salvation and peace that come to us from the Bible and from the ongoing inspiration of your Holy Spirit. Refrain: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path When I feel afraid and think I've lost my way, Still You're there right beside me. Nothing will I fear as long as You are near Please be near me 'til the end I will not forget your love for me and yet my heart forever is wandering. Jesus be my guide, and hold me to your side And I will love you to the end ©1984 Meadowgreen Music Company CCLI #2830492
For the creation itself and the nourishment we receive from its resources, For seedtime and harvest, sunshine and rain, oceans and forests, For the wondrous ways in which we are woven into the environment, We give you thanks, Creator God. For all the creative things we are enabled to do through the gifts and talents you have given to us,
For the good health within our bodies, minds, and spirits, For the courage and healing that you provide when we are broken and discouraged in the midst of our earthly pilgrimage, We acknowledge with thanks your leadership in our journey. For the gift of time and the guidance you give for the redemptive use of our days, For the satisfaction and renewal that come from our labor and leisure, For directing us to do justice and to love mercy, For the chance to begin again whenever we falter and fail, We are grateful, our Savior, whose faithfulness endures through all generations. Blessing and honor, glory and power, be unto the Ancient of Days. From every nation, all of creation, bow before the Ancient of Days. Every tongue in heaven and earth, shall declare Your glory, every knee shall bow at Your throne, in worship. You will be exalted O God, and Your Kingdom shall not pass away. O Ancient of Days. Your Kingdom shall reign over all the earth, sing unto the Ancient of Days. For none can compare to Your matchless worth, sing unto the Ancient of Days. ©1992 Integrity's Hosanna! Music CCLI #2830492
