Scripture Reading:                                                          Romans 15:1-7

The Example of Christ

¹ We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

² Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

³ For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

⁴ For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁵ May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,

⁶ that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷ Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Prayer of Invocation

Psalm 143 A                                                             Blue Psalter, pg 936

Hear My Prayer, O God

Hear my prayer, O God, and listen to my plea;

Faithful, righteous One, give ear and answer me.

Judge me not, I pray; no merit dare I claim;

Knowing my own faults, I trust in your just Name.

Hounded by a foe who crushed me to the ground,

I am like the dead or those in prison bound.

Hopeless, numbed by fear, I ponder all your care;

Thirsty as parched earth, I lift my hands in prayer.

Answer soon, O God; my spirit faints in me;

Do not hide your face, or I will cease to be.

When the morning dawns, make known your love anew;

Show me how to walk, for I will trust in you.

Keep me safe, O God, and help me learn your will;

Let your Spirit lead through level pathways still.

For your great Name’s sake, my griefs and fears dispel;

Free me from my foes, that I may serve you well.

Declaring What We Believe:

The Nicene Creed

All:

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

Men & Boys:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

begotten from the Father before all ages,

God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father.

Women & Girls

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,

and was made man.

Jubilee Singers

He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered and was buried.

Women:

The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.

He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

Men:

He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.

His kingdom will never end.

All:

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.

He proceeds from the Father and the Son,

and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.

He spoke through the prophets.

We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church.

We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,

and to life in the world to come.

Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
1. Your hand, O God, has guided Your church from age to age;
The tale of love is written for us on every page.

Our fathers knew Your goodness and we Your works record;

And each of these bear witness; One church, one faith, one Lord.

Refrain: One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.

One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Heavenly King, Lord of all.
1. Your mercy never fails us, or leaves Your work undone;
With Your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won.

And then, by all creation, Your Name shall be adored;

With earth and Heaven singing: One church, one faith, one Lord.

Repeat Refrain

When Trials Come
1. When trials come no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near

To fire a faith worth more than gold

And there His faithfulness is told

And there His faithfulness is told
1. Within the night I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me

And new each morning mercy flows

As treasures of the darkness grow

As treasures of the darkness grow
1. I turn to Wisdom not my own
For every battle You have known

My confidence will rest in You

Your love endures Your ways are good

Your love endures Your ways are good
1. When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross

So in its shadow I shall run

Till He completes the work begun

Till He completes the work begun
1. One day all things will be made new
I’ll see the hope You called me to

And in your kingdom paved with gold

I’ll praise your faithfulness of old

I’ll praise your faithfulness of old

Sermon Hymn:

O God, My Joy

O God, my joy, You reign above in radiant splendor and beauty.

Your word has drawn my heart to love the awesome sight of Your glory.

Your blazing light and gospel grace

shine brightly from my Savior’s face.

No other wonder would I see than Christ enthroned in His glory!

Sustained by joy in trial and pain, I trust Your wisdom and mercy.

Through suffering that Your love ordains,

more like Your Son You will make me.

For Christ embraced the cross of shame,

beholding glorious joys to come.

O give me faith like His to see that suffering lifts me to glory!

Compelled by joy, I fight the sin that turns my gaze from Your glory.

Your Holy Spirit dwells within: His presence arms me for vict’ry.

Let death and hell against me rise; through death I’ll gain eternal joys.

All powers of hell will bend the knee before my great King of glory!

The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, His blood, support me in the whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found;

Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand,

All other ground is sinking sand.
