Placing the Bible

Prayer of ConfessionMerciful God, you spoke the world into being and by the power of your word all things are sustained. Your words give life, and they guide us as a light on our path. We confess that we have not used our words to mirror who you are and what you are like. Forgive us for remarks that cut and criticize. Forgive us for words that belittle others and distort truth. Give us hearts that love you, for from the heart the mouth speaks. Restore our hearts to glad and grateful fellowship with you as we offer our silent confessions…

but deliver us from evilFor Thine is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.

Offering Our GiftsA Reflection of Christ David Schwoebel

May the mind of Christ my SaviourLive in me from day to day,By his love and pow’r controllingAll I do and say.

May the word of God dwell richlyIn my heart from hour to hour,So that all may see I triumphOnly thro’ his pow’r.

May the peace of God, my Father,Rule my life in ev’rything,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 I run the race before me,Strong and brave to face the foe,Looking only unto JesusAs I onward go.

May his beauty rest upon me,As I seek the lost to win,And may they forget the channel,Seeing only Him.

LISTEN TO GOD’S WORDCONTROL: WATCH YOUR MOUTHJames 3:1–12 (Pew Bible 1883)Vic Pentz 8:45, 10:00 | Jay Madden 11:15

Apostles’ Creed*

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
