Welcome & Opening Thoughts Rev. Andrew Davis
Hymn of Praise: Jesus Calls Us – UMH 398, vs. 1, 3, 5
Jesus calls us, o’er the tumult of our life’s wild, restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying “Christian, follow me!”
Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world’s golden store,
From each idol that would keep us, saying, “Christian, love me more!”
Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.
Opening Prayer
Gospel Lesson: Matthew 10: 24-39 (NRSV)
24 “A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; 25 it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!
26 “So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. 28 Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 And even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31 So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 “Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; 33 but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
The Word of God for the People of God…Thanks be to God!
Meditation: “Open Our Eyes: Hear All the People”
Response: Open My Eyes, That I May See – UMH 454, vs. 2
Open my ears, that I may hear voices of truth thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes fall on my ear, everything false shall disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee, ready my God, thy will to see.
Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!
Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer (Altogether):
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Hymn: I Have Decided to Follow Jesus – FWS 2129
I have decided, to follow Jesus;
I have decided, to follow Jesus;
I have decided, to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me…
Though none go with me, still I will follow…
Sing glory-glory, and hallelujah!...
