Morning Worship: June 21, 2020

• Welcome                                                                                      

• Call to Worship                                                            

 Psalm 107:1-3, 8-9

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
    for his steadfast love endures forever!
² Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
    whom he has redeemed from trouble
³ and gathered in from the lands,
    from the east and from the west,
    from the north and from the south.

Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul,
    and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

• Invocation
• Confession of Sin                    

You, O Lord, have promised, that if we will confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins.  We come humbly seeking your forgiveness, that we may know the joy of your presence, and the light of your face.  You alone know how often we have offended you, and hurt others.  Forgive us for every unkind thought, every untrue word, every selfish act.  Forgive us for our ingratitude, our neglect of prayer, our carelessness in the use of money, our forgetfulness of sacred vows we have taken.  O God, have mercy upon us!  Create in us clean hearts, and renew a right spirit within us, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

• Private Confession of Sin (Silent)
• Promise of Forgiveness: Ephesians 2:8-10 

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

• Old Testament Reading: Psalm 37:1-11

Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
    be not envious of wrongdoers!
² For they will soon fade like the grass
    and wither like the green herb.

³ Trust in the Lord, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
⁴ Delight yourself in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

⁵ Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him, and he will act.
⁶ He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
    and your justice as the noonday.

⁷ Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
    fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
    over the man who carries out evil devices!

⁸ Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
    Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
⁹ For the evildoers shall be cut off,
    but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

¹⁰ In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
    though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
¹¹ But the meek shall inherit the land
    and delight themselves in abundant peace.

 Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.

People:  Thanks be to God! 

• Affirmation of Faith: Apostles’ Creed

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

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.  He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell.  The third day he rose again from the dead.  He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.   

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.        

• Prayers for the Church and the World                                                                                            

• Sermon Text: Galatians 5:22-26; 6:7-10

 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. ⁸ For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. 

•  Preaching of the Word: Rev. Eric Huber

Gracious Goodness!

• Benediction: 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,  comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

Hymn Lyrics: (Please Click on Hymn Title for a Recording of the Audio)

• Hymn #1: All PeopleThat on Earth Do Dwell   

All people that on earth do dwell,

sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,

come ye before him and rejoice.

The Lord ye know is God indeed;

without our aid he did us make;

we are his folk, he doth us feed,

and for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise,

approach with joy his courts unto;

praise, laud, and bless his name always,

for it is seemly so to do.

For why? The Lord our God is good,

his mercy is forever sure,

his truth at all times firmly stood,

and shall from age to age endure.

•  Hymn #303: Blessed Jesus, at Your Word

 Blessed Jesus, at your word we are gathered all to hear you;

let our hearts and souls be stirred now to seek and love and fear you,

by your teachings sweet and holy,

drawn from earth to love you solely.

All our knowledge, sense, and sight lie in deepest darkness shrouded,

till your Spirit breaks our night with the beams of truth unclouded.

You alone to God can win us;

you must work all good within us.

Glorious Lord, yourself impart, Light of light, from God proceeding;

open now our ears and heart, help us by your Spirit's pleading;

hear the cry your people raises,

hear and bless our prayers and praises.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, praise to you and adoration!

Great that we your Word may trust and obtain true consolation,

while we here below must wander,

till we sing your praises yonder.
