All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
--- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) GATHERING Prelude Call to worship - Psalm 91 Response for Holding On: In you alone will I trust. Response for Letting Go: For you deliver me. HOLDING ON Affirmation of faith: HWB 710 Congregational singing Theme Song for Lent: Slowly turning, Ever turning STJ 23 Hymn Children's Time* HEARING GOD'S WORD Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 26: 1-11; Luke 4:1-13 Readers's Theater: based on Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 Sermon Musical interlude LETTING GO Confession: Lord, strip us of any illusions that would block our way to you. ( Silence) Let your Word within us comfort, disturb, and convert us. Amen. Assurance: HWB 709 Congregational singing Hymn Hymn Offering Sharing our joys and sorrows SENDING From Romans 10:8b-13 The word is near you,on your lips and in your heart. . . . if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, ``No one who believes in him will be put to shame.'' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, ``Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'' Return |
