Response:
When evildoers assail me, to devour my flesh, my adversaries and foes shall stumble and fall. Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in the Lord’s temple. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. The Lord will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble, will conceal me under the cover of his tent, and will set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me; and I will offer sacrifices in the Lord’s tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, for you have been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation! If my father and mother should forsake me, the Lord would take me up.
Response: For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
Response:
People:
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! “Come,” my heart said, “seek the Lord’s face.” Your face, O Lord, I seek.
Leader: People:
Teach me your way, O Lord; and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage. Wait for the Lord!
Response: For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
PRAYER Dr. Sherry L. Daniels
Refrain O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, O how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me! (Verses 2 & 3 omitted.)
INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church Generous God: As we travel this Lenten journey, allow us to walk beside Jesus, as he makes his journey into Jerusalem. As we offer our gifts this morning, may it be our way of saying we won’t turn away from the problems and conflicts of this world; but like Jesus, we will walk toward them. All we take for the journey is the compassion, mercy, and sacrifice that he carried—moving toward what waited in the Holy City. We journey in Christ’s steps and pray in Christ’s holy name. Amen. (Luke 13:31-35)
