Responsive Reading from Psalm 111
Leader: I will praise the Lord with all that I have wherever good people gather.

People: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
All: To him belongs eternal praise.

Lord Jesus,
We know you as both Lion and Lamb.
Following you we see both your strength and humility.

Prayers of the People

Hymn     "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"     UMH #400           
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of thy redeeming love.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.

Message        “Knowing Isn’t Everything”       1 Corinthians 8:1-13               

Commitment Hymn     "Lord, I Want to Be a Christian"      UMH #402 
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart.

(Refrain) 
In my heart, in my heart, 
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart.

Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart. (Refrain)

Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart. (Refrain)

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.
