Welcome: Rev. Andrew Davis
Opening Prayer:
Let us pray that we may respond to God's trust in us.
God, our kind and loving Father, you no longer call us servants but friends.
There is so much you have entrusted to us, even the future of your kingdom of justice and love. Give us the grace to work out with you the growth of mercy and goodness in this world, to be united with all Christians and with all who seek you with a sincere heart in bringing reconciliation and joy to everyone.
Let us go together the way to you, our living and loving God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.[i]
*Hymn of Praise: Rejoice! The Lord is King – UMH 715
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice.
2. Jesus the Savior reigns, the God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains, he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say rejoice.
3. His kingdom cannot fail; he rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of earth and hell are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say rejoice.
4. Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take his servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th’arch angel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
*Gospel Lesson: Matthew 25: 14-30 (NRSV)
14 “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 15 to one he gave five talents,[a] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. 17 In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. 18 But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20 Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. 29 For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 30 As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Word of God for the People of God: Thanks Be to God!
Sermon Rev. Andrew Davis
“Enter Into the Joy”
Response/Invitation to Prayer: Make Me a Servant – FWS 2176
Make me a servant, humble and meek,
Lord, let me lift up, those who are weak.
And may the prayer of my heart always be:
Make me a servant, make me a servant,
Make me a servant today.[ii] CCLI#33131
Prayers of the People/The Lord’s Prayer:
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.
*Closing Hymn: Take My Life and Let it Be
1. Take my life and let it be, consecrated Lord to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be, swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3. Take my voice and let me sing, always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my will and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall by Thy royal throne,
It shall be thy royal throne.
5. Take my love; my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
