Welcome and Announcements Introit – “I Surrender All” by Kaeley and Bethany Barnes Call to Worship- Psalm 141:1-2 Leader: O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me! People: Give ear to my voice when I call to you! Leader: Let my prayer be counted as incense before you. People: And the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! All: Praise be to God! Prayer of Adoration, Assistance, & Blessing Trinity Hymnal #77 “Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven” Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, to his feet your tribute bring; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who like me, his praise should sing? Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favor to our fathers in distress; praise him, still the same forever, slow to chide and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness. Father-like, he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows; in his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely as his mercy goes. Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish, blows the wind and it is gone; but while mortals rise and perish, God endures unchanging on. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the High Eternal One. Angels, help us to adore him; you behold him face to face; sun and moon, bow down before him, dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Reflection on the Law Leader: Honor your father and your mother. People: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

(Gal 5:14) Confession of Sin Assurance of Grace - John 10:27-28 Hymn- Hymnal #644 “May the Mind of Christ, My Savior” May the mind of Christ my Savior live in me from day to day, by his love and pow'r controlling all I do and say. May the Word of God dwell richly in my heart from hour to hour, so that all may see I triumph only through his pow'r. May the peace of God my Father rule my life in everything, that I may be calm to comfort sick and sorrowing. May the love of Jesus fill me as the waters fill the sea; him exalting, self abasing, this is victory. May his beauty rest upon me as I seek the lost to win, and may they forget the channel, seeing only him. Prayer of the Church - Elder Dean Abbott Psalm 33:1-5 “With Gladness in the Lord” (tune: Trinity Hymnal #359) With gladness in the LORD, O let the righteous sing! For when the upright give Him praise, It is a fitting thing. So give the LORD your thanks, With harp your music raise; And with a ten-stringed instrument, Sing out to Him your praise. And as you sing and play, Your skillfulness employ. O sing a new song unto Him; With shouts express your joy. For upright is the word The LORD has given us, And all the works that He has done Were done in faithfulness. For He seeks righteousness, And all that’s just and fair; The LORD’s love is throughout the earth, Abundant everywhere. God’s Word Read: James 2:1-13 God’s Word Preached: “Mercy or Judgment?” Pastor M. Connor Underseth Prayer of Application and the Lord’s Prayer All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. Trinity Hymnal #308 “Jesus Paid It All” I hear the Savior say, "Your strength indeed is small, child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me your all in all." Refrain: Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow. Lord, now indeed I find your power, and yours alone, can change the leper's spots, and melt the heart of stone. [Refrain] For nothing good have I whereby your grace to claim — I'll wash my garments white in the blood of Calv'ry's lamb. [Refrain] And when, before the throne, I stand in him complete, "Jesus died my soul to save," my lips shall still repeat. [Refrain] Trinity Hymnal p. 845 - “Apostles Creed” Minister: Christian, what do you believe? All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
