SERMON: A Moment of Serendipity
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:2-12
RESPONSIVE READING: Psalm 8
Leader: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.
Everyone: Out of the mouths of babes and infants You have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
Leader: When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars that You have established; what are human beings that You are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Everyone: Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor. You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
Leader: You have put all things under their feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
Everyone: O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH—THE BELHAR CONFESSION
God has entrusted the church with the message of reconciliation in and through Jesus Christ. The church is therefore called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The church is called blessed because it is a peacemaker. The church is witness both by word and by deed to the new heaven and the new earth in which righteousness dwells.
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
