What’s going on:
Order of Worship
Gather
We move from individuals to a collection of persons brought together as Christ’s gathered body, His church. We’ll be welcomed together by singing a song.
Listen
We worship a God who speaks. So in our gathering we listen to hear what God would say to us by singing and hearing scripture, and a sermon.
Respond
We respond to what we have heard, acknowledging that our personal response is deeply personal. We’ll pray, confess, sing, and have an opportunity for generosity.
Feast
We are encountered as a community by the God who forgives and makes us whole by the body and blood of Jesus.
Be Sent
We are each sent back out to embody the hope of Jesus to a weary world.
This Week’s Text
Matthew 8:28-34
When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were possessed by demons met him. They came out of the tombs and were so violent that no one could go through that area.
They began screaming at him, “Why are you interfering with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before God’s appointed time?”
There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding in the distance. So the demons begged, “If you cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
“All right, go!” Jesus commanded them. So the demons came out of the men and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.
The herdsmen fled to the nearby town, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men. Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged him to go away and leave them alone.
Give
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
– Hebrews 13:16
We respond to God’s generosity by being generous. If you already regularly give, thank you. If today is your first opportunity to support our community and its mission financially, thank you.
God of mercy you have called us by your grace to be a part of this community. Grant us a sense of belonging, grant us love for one another, grant us the grace to feel responsible for this community and its ministry. Help us to live generous, open handed lives entrusting ourselves to you wholly, even with our finances.
Let us with gladness present the offerings of our life and labor to you Lord. Help us ever be happy givers.
In Jesus name,
Amen
