Morning Worship: June 28, 2020

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

-John 14:2-3

• Welcome and Announcements

If you are a visitor with us this morning, we warmly welcome you to this worship service of Christ The King. 

• Prelude                                                        All Things Bright and Beautiful arranged by Lynette Maynard                                                                                                                  
• *Call to Worship                                                      Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
²     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
⁴ what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

⁵ Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
⁶ You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
⁷ all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

• *Invocation
• Confession of Sin                               

Lord Jesus, I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, and of neglect to seek you in my daily life.  My sins and shortcomings present me with a list of accusations, but I thank you that they will not stand against me, for all have been laid on Christ.  Deliver me from every evil habit, every interest of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of your grace in me, everything that prevents me taking delight in you.  Amen.

• Private Confession of Sin (Silent) 

• Promise of Forgiveness                                               Luke 5:20 (NIV) 

When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."      

• New Testament Reading                                           Revelation 21:1-8

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ² And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. ⁴ He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

⁵ And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ⁶ And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. ⁷ The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. ⁸ But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

 Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.

People:  Thanks be to God!

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

• Musical Offering                            The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want arranged by Simon Peberdy                                                                               

• Sermon Text                                                        Genesis 1:1-10; 2:5-9

 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

⁶ And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” ⁷ And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. ⁸ And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

⁹ And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. ¹⁰ God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

⁵ When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, ⁶ and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— ⁷ then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. ⁸ And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. ⁹ And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

• Preaching of the Word                                                   Eric Huber

• *Benediction                                                              Numbers 6:24-26

• 120 All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful, 

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful, 

the Lord God made them all.

 

Each little flow'r that opens,

each little bird that sings,

he made their glowing colors,

he made their tiny wings.

 

All things bright and beautiful, 

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful, 

the Lord God made them all.

 

The purple-headed mountain,

the river running by,

the sunset, and the morning

that brightens up the sky.

 

All things bright and beautiful, 

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful, 

the Lord God made them all.

 

The cold wind in the winter,

the pleasant summer sun,

the ripe fruits in the garden,

he made them, ev'ry one.

 

All things bright and beautiful, 

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful, 

the Lord God made them all.

 

The tall trees in the greenwood, 

the meadows where we play,

the flowers by the water

we gather ev'ry day.

 

All things bright and beautiful, 

all creatures great and small,

all things wise and wonderful, 

the Lord God made them all.

 

He gave us eyes to see them,

and lips that we might tell

how great is God Almighty,

who has made all things well.

• 87 The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;

he makes me down to lie

in pastures green; he leadeth me

the quiet waters by.

 

My soul he doth restore again;

and me to walk doth make

within the paths of righteousness,

e'en for his own name's sake

 

Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,

yet will I fear non ill,

for thou art with me; and thy rod

and staff me comfort still.

 

My table thou hast furnished

in presence of my foes;

my head thou dost with oil anoint,

and my cup overflows.

 

Goodness and mercy all my life

shall surely follow me;

and in God's house forevermore

my dwelling place shall be.
