PRELUDE
"Sing a New Song"

SILENCE
Set a timer for 5 minutes and use a breath prayer.
On the inhale, mentally say: “I am in Christ Jesus”
On the exhale: "I am free."

OPENING WORD (Romans 8:1-2)
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

OPENING HYMN
"He Lives"
Torin Wright & Darlene Skinner
|
|
I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever foes may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near
Refrain:
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading, through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last
Refrain
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King
The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find
None other is so loving, so good and kind
Refrain

SCRIPTURE LESSON
Matthew 10:1-13
Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.”

CLOSING SONG
"Blessed Assurance/My King Is Coming"
The Connections Praise Band
|
|
Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in his Blood
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His Love
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
My King is coming soon
He will roll the clouds away
Light of Heaven bursting through
Oh what a glorious day!
Yes, my King is coming soon
He will roll the clouds away
Light of Heaven bursting through
And until that glorious day
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all the day long
This is my story
This is my song
My King is coming soon
He will roll the clouds away
Light of Heaven bursting through
And until that glorious day
This is my story
This is my story
This is my song

Lord, thank you for making a way for us to see the truth about ourselves—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and freeing us up to say “I’m sorry.” We don’t have to fear the truth about ourselves, because your unconditional love is not based on our ability to perform. So even as we humbly say “I’m sorry” for all the ways we’ve done wrong, we also can only say “Thank you.” Thank you for freedom from shame and bondage. Thank you for the welcome you give us. Thank you for the hospitality with which you have invited us into your eternal life, the life shared by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You chose to open your home to us, that mansion with many rooms, eternal in the heavens. Thank you for welcoming us in. Help us receive your love and your life, this day and always. Amen.
