February 13, 2022 Prelude Welcome and Announcements *Call to Worship Calling Song “I Shall Not Be Moved” Chorus I shall not be, I shall not be moved. I shall not be, I shall not be moved. Just like a tree that’s planted by the living water, I shall not be moved. Verse 1: Jesus is my Savior, I shall not be moved He will fail me never, I shall not be moved Verse 2: On his word I'm feeding, I shall not be moved He’s the one who’s leading, I shall not be moved Verse 3: When my cross is heavy, I shall not be moved When my cross is heavy, I shall not be moved Responsive Reading Psalm 1 Leader: Blessed are those who do not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but who delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on his law day and night. People: They are like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers. Unison Invocation Here we are Lord, maybe not strong or fruitful as trees planted by streams, but we have decided to follow Jesus. We come needing to humble ourselves and renew our commitment to being, first and foremost, followers of Jesus. Touch each of us according to our need and your desire. We pray in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen. Hymn of Praise “And Can It Be that I Should Gain” UMH #363 (vv. 1, 4, 5) And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood! Died he for me? who caused his pain! For me? who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Long my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine; alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach th' eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. Bold I approach th' eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. Old Testament Reading - Jeremiah 17:5-10 Gospel Reading - Luke 6:17-26 Stewardship Moment “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow” UMH #95 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen Message “Indescribable Compassion” Mark 1:40-2:12 - The Chosen – Season 1, Episode 6 Here are some tips that might help you prepare for this Sunday’s presentation of The Chosen: • Two scenes of healing are recorded in Matthew 8:1-4 and 9:1-7, Mark 1:40-2:12, or Luke 5:12-26. The passage from Mark’s gospel will be read aloud during the service. • In the first, a man was healed of leprosy (Hansen’s Disease). In the second, a person was healed of paralysis. • What words or images from this passage catch your attention? • Where was Jesus? Who might have been with him? • Do you find any clues about why these two were healed? • What are your reactions when you read about these and other healings? Could it be that relieving physical, social, or emotional difficulties is not the only or maybe the most important reason for a healing? WATCH EPISODE 6 NOW ON ANGEL STUDIOS FOR FREE... Commitment Hymn “Amazing Grace” UMH #378 1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. 3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4. The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures. 5. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. 6. When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun. Unison Benediction* May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors. *from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals Postlude “We’re Marching to Zion” by Robert Lowry Thank you for Worshiping with us today!
