Call To Worship – Psalm 98
Prayer:
To be read aloud, together:
Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: God The Spirit
Holy fount of inspiration by whose gift the great of old
Spoke the word of revelation marvelous and manifold
God the Spirit we adore Thee, in the Triune Godhead One
One in love and power and glory with the Father and the Son
Author of the new creation, giver of the second birth
May thy ceaseless renovation cleanse our souls from stains of earth
When we wander Lord direct us, keep us in the Master’s way
Let they strong swift sword protect us warring in the evil days
Shall the church now faint or fear when the Comforter is near?
Lament – Will Baker
READING OF THE WORD – Matthew 22:34-40
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: Build My Life
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Jesus the name above every other name
Jesus the only one who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, we live for You
Holy there is no one like You, there is none besides You Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are and fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
Song: Christ The Sure And Steady Anchor
Christ the sure and steady Anchor in the fury of the storm
When the winds of doubt blow through me and my sails have all been torn
In the suffering, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it will never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor while the tempest rages on
When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won
Deeper still then goes the Anchor though I justly stand accused
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor through the fields of unbelief
Hopeless somehow O my soul now lift your eyes to Calvary
This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved
All my hope is in the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor as we face the wave of death
When these trials give way to glory as we draw our final breath
We will cross that great horizon clouds behind and life secured
And the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured
Christ the shore of our salvation ever faithful ever true
We will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Sermon: Christ’s SCANDALOUS REIGN (Acts 17:1-17:34)
For those who call LWF their church home, Randy will lead a time of communion at the end of the sermon video.
SONG: JESUS IS BETTER
There is no other, so sure and steady
My hope is held in Your hand
When castles crumble, and breath is fleeting
Upon this rock I will stand, Upon this rock I will stand
Glory, glory, we have no other king but Jesus Lord of all!
We raise the anthem, our loudest praises ring. We crown Him Lord of all!
Your kindly rule has, shattered and broken
The curse of sin's tyranny
My life is hidden, 'neath Heaven's shadow
Your crimson flood covers me, Your crimson flood covers me!
In all my sorrows, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
In every victory, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Than any comfort, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
More than all riches, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Our souls declaring, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Our song eternal, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Doxology
Our treasures fame and riches made will wither like grass just the same
The things of earth like dust and sand will pass through all our clutching hand
Our hope is found in Jesus Christ, forevermore He is our prize
Reconciled the souls of man, forgiveness from the Father’s hand
And with the Spirit we are free, and soon all tribes and tongues shall sing,
”Glory be to Christ our King and the Holy Trinity!”
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
