WORSHIP THEME – “Live to Give” Mark 10:23-31 The grip of wealth on a person’s soul can lead him or her away from the Kingdom of God. In fact, Jesus compares a rich man entering the Kingdom of God as being more difficult than a camel going through the eye of a needle. But with God, all things are possible- even a shift of dependence on wealth to dependence on God.

OPENING PRAYER Pastor: Lord, as we learn and read and worship together, teach us Your ways. Because we have access to Your holy Scriptures, we can gather knowledge, but it takes Your Spirit to bring understanding and revelation. As Your disciples, we want to follow You well and continue Your holy work as Your servants. Give us wisdom to see things like You do. People: In Jesus’ name, amen!

TIME OF CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS Pastor: Jesus, we are humbled by Your great sacrifice on the cross as You were led like a lamb to to the slaughter. People: But we like stray sheep wander off in our own ways and get lost in sin. Call us home, Great Shepherd!

Pastor: You are the forever High Priest ordained by God. We confess of our sin to You now.

- 12 - People: We confess that we easily depend on what the world has to offer- money, retirement, and climbing up the ladder of success. While we recognize that You are the giver of wealth, we confess that we are tempted by greed. Forgive us, Lord!

Pastor: Hear us, Lord. We accept Your forgiveness. People: Thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross that washed our sins white as snow.

Pastor: We love You, Jesus. We want to follow You. Amen.

+ We Respond to God’s Word + AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – APOSTLE’S CREED I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
