Call to Worship (based on Psalm 69)
L/ Zeal for your House O Lord consumes me. I am ridiculed for my belief but what else can I do but sing your praises?
P/ Rescue me from the mire, O God and bring me your salvation
L/ Answer my cry out of the goodness of your love and turn to me in your mercy. Answer me and redeem me from my foes.
P/ Rescue me from the mire, O God and bring me your salvation
Hymn of Praise: #58 This is My Father’s World
Confession and Assurance
L/ Let us take a moment of silence to reflect on our need for forgiveness…
P/ We confess that we act out of calculated reward. We prioritize those things which offer us a return. And we then also do things that keep others down that we might be better. Forgive our failure to serve you and build the Kingdom. Teach us to be Alive in you, to give without counting the cost, to toil without only thought of what we deserve, and to bring Your love without condition to all we meet.
L/ Hear these words of scripture: “Praise be to the Lord who this day has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer. He shall renew your life and sustain you.” (Ruth 4: 14, 15) I declare our sins are forgiven and we are remade by the blood of Jesus and the Life of the Spirit.

God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name; I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name; and in Jesus’ name I come to you to share His love as He told me to. He said freely, freely you have received—freely, freely give; Go in My name and because you believe, others will know that I live.
