SERMON: A Great Magazine, But...
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:21-26
REPONSIVE READING—Psalm 15
Leader: Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? May live on your holy mountain?
Everyone: The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who
speaks the truth from their heart;
Leader: Whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;
Everyone: Who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
Leader: Who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH—CONFESSION OF 1967
The members of the church are emissaries of peace and seek the good of all in cooperation with powers and authorities in politics, culture, and economics. But they have to fight against pretensions and injustices when the same powers endanger human welfare. Their strength is in their confidence that God’s purpose rather than human schemes will finally prevail.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
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
