PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy and merciful God, in Your presence we confess our sinfulness, our shortcomings, and our offenses against You.You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from Your path of truth and forgetting to share Your love. Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we are ashamed and sorry for all we have done to displease You. Forgive our sins, and help us to live in Your truth and love as we walk in Your ways. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, The holy catholic church, The communion of saints, The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.
*GLORY BETOTHE FATHER #813
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (Apostles’ Creed)
I believe in God the FatherAlmighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ,His only Son,our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of theVirgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,dead,and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the FatherAlmighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
Our Father,who art in heaven, hallowed beThy 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. ForThine is the kingdom, and the power,and the glory forever. Amen.
Teach MeYourWay, O Lord Mark Sedio Summer Choir Teach meYour way,O Lord, and I will walk inYour paths. Knit my heart toYou that I may fearYour name, I will thankYou,O God. Fill me,O Lord,withYour wisdom. Show me the light ofYour truth. Day by day my faith grows stronger inYour word; Guide me in everything I do. Teach meYour way,O Lord…
PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION Spirit of God, speak once again through the Words of Scripture that our listening ears may hear Your voice. Help us to place Your Word in our minds, treasure it in our hearts, choose it with our wills, and live it through our bodies. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
14 Then we will no longer be infants,tossed back and forth by the waves,and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead,speaking the truth in love,we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body,joined and held together by every supporting ligament,grows and builds itself up in love,as each part does its work.
Leader: It is God who makes us stand firm in Christ.He anointed us,set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit,guaranteeing what is to come.Therefore,let us assure one another of God’s pardon.
All: In Jesus Christ,we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
All: Thanks be to God!
ASSURANCE OF PARDON (2 Corinthians 1:21-22)
SCRIPTURE Ephesians 4:11-16 NIV
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles,the prophets,the evangelists,the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service,so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

8 Watchoutthatyoudonotlosewhat we have worked for,but that you may be rewarded fully. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in theteachingofChristdoesnothaveGod;whoevercontinuesintheteachinghasboththeFatherandtheSon.
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth,just as the Father commanded us. 5 And now,dear lady,I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.I ask that we love one another. 6 And this is love:that we walk in obedience to his commands.As you have heard from the beginning,his command is that you walk in love.
12 I have much to write to you,but I do not want to use paper and ink.Instead,I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face,so that our joy may be complete.
7 I say this because many deceivers,who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh,have gone outintotheworld. Anysuch personis thedeceiverandtheantichrist.
13 The children of your sister,who is chosen by God,send their greetings. “One HitWonders:2 John - HowThen ShallWe Live?” Rev.Brett Everett
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
