Ordinary Time Know God | Love People | Seek Renewal Ordinary Time 10.18.2020 Know God | Love People | Seek Renewal hopebtown.org God Gathers — We Prepare Preparation for Worship “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” - Stephen Covey “When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.” - Ernest Hemingway God Calls — We Praise Call to Worship (Standing) From Psalm 7 Leader O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pur- suers and deliver me, lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rend- ing it in pieces, with none to deliver. All Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. Let the as- sembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high. Leader The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord according to my righteousness, and according to the integrity that is in me. Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous - you who test the minds and hearts, O Righteous God! All My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. I will give to the Lord the thanks due his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Song of Praise (Standing) “All Creatures of Our God and King” All All creatures of our God and King, Lift up your voice and with us sing—Alleluia, Alleluia! Thou burning sun with golden beam, Thou silver moon with softer gleam, O praise him, O praise him—Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Thou rushing wind that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in Heav’n along— O praise him, Alleluia! Thou rising morn in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening find a voice, O praise him, O praise him—Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! And all ye men of tender heart, Forgiving others take your part—O sing ye, Alleluia! Ye who long pain and sorrow bear, Praise God and on Him cast your care, O praise him, O praise him—Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Let all things their Creator bless, And worship Him in humbleness— O praise him, Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, And praise the Spirit, Three in One, O praise him, O praise him—Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Words Francis of Assisi, c. 1225; tr. William Draper, 1919; music Lasst Uns Erfreuen, 1623 Prayer of Adoration God Invites — We Confess Community Confession of Sin (Be seated or kneel) Based on Luke 8 Leader Precious Lord and Savior, when the storms of life come our way, we are quick to become fearful, and often forget your love for us. All You could often rightly say to us in these moments just as you did to your disciples, “Where is your faith?” Forgive us, Lord, for our lack of faith. Just as the wind and waves obey you, our desire is to follow and obey you as well. Leader Your Word tells us to be careful then how we hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks he has will be taken away. All Forgive us for the times we have not listened well to your Word. Have mercy upon us we pray. Give us ears to hear your Word, Father, that we may know you and walk in your ways. Personal Confession of Sin (Silence is kept) God Assures — We Give Thanks Declaration of Forgiveness (Standing) From Joel 2: 12-13 Leader “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” All Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and he relents from sending calamity. Song of Assurance “The Love of Christ is Rich and Free” All The love of Christ is rich and free; Fixed on His own eternally; Nor earth, nor hell, can it remove; Long as He lives, His own He’ll love. His loving heart engaged to be, Their everlasting Surety; ‘Twas love that took their cause in hand, And love maintains it to the end. Chorus: Love cannot from its post withdraw; Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, nor law, Can turn the Surety’s heart away; He’ll love His own to endless day. Love has redeemed His sheep with blood; And love will bring them safe to God; Love calls them all from death to life; And love will finish all their strife. He loves through every changing scene, Nor aught from Him can Zion wean; Not all the wanderings of her heart Can make His love for her depart. Chorus At death, beyond the grave, He’ll love; In endless bliss, His own shall prove The blazing glory of that love Which never could from them remove. Which never could from them remove.

May you grow in grace and in the knowledge and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Christ as Prophet – The Word to Us Scripture Reading (Standing) Luke 8:4 - 25 Reader 4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” 9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience. 16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.” 19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20 And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” 21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.” 22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. 24 And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?” Sermon (Be Seated) Rev.

  • Authentic Prayer” Matthew 6:7-13, 7:7-11
    3-4-18 Pastor Tom “Authentic Prayer” Matthew 6:7-13, 7:7-11 Matthew 6:7-13 - And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ Skip ahead to Matthew 7:7-11 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Finally! We’ve been going through the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus is telling us everything we need to do. But this week, we finally get something out of this whole Christianity thing! He says if we just ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and the door will be opened for us! So here comes the big question: What are you gonna ask for? The guy who turns water into wine, who heals the sick, raises the dead, and does a ton of other miracles says, “ask and it will be given to you.” Man, “Well, Jesus, where do I start? Car, vacation, house… I guess I should throw in world peace, too…” This actually reminds me of a commercial from a few years ago where some people got whatever they asked for.

  • Urging All of Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts So That We Can Know Beyond
    CHAPTER 1 HOLISTIC READING We have left the land and embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us- indeed we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity... Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom- and there is no longer any ―land.‖ - Nietzsche Each man‘s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that- one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth- the slime and eggshells of his primeval past-… to the end of his days... Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us- experiments of the depths- strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each is able to interpret himself alone. – Herman Hesse 1 In this chapter I suggest a new method of reading, which I call “holistic reading.” Building on the spiritual model of the Self offered by Jiddu Krishnamurti and the psychological model of “self” offered by Dr.

  • A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura
    The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia by Laura L. Bunting-Hudson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Laura L. Bunting-Hudson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Art of the Hustle: A Study of the Rap Music Industry in Bogota, Colombia Laura L. Bunting-Hudson How do rap artists in Bogota, Colombia come together to make music? What is the process they take to commodify their culture? Why are some rappers able to become socially mobile in this process, while others are less so? What is technology’s role in all of this? This ethnography explores those questions, as it carefully documents the strategies utilized by various rap groups in Bogota, Colombia to create social mobility, commoditize products and to create a different vision of modernity within the hip-hop community, as an alternative to the ideals set forth by mainstream Colombian society. Resistance Art Poetry (RAP), is said to have originated in the United States but has become a form of international music. In conducting ethnographic research from December of 2012 to October 2014, I was able to discover how rappers organize themselves politically, how they commoditize their products and distribute them to create various types of social mobilities. In this dissertation, I constructed models to typologize rap groups in Bogota, Colombia, which I call polities of rappers to discuss how these groups come together, take shape, make plans and execute them to reach their business goals.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

  • The Gospel According to Mark
    THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK Anna Long LOVE GOD. LOVE PEOPLE. LOVE ASHEVILLE. Sunday, 30 August 2020, 10:00 AM citychurchavl.org CITY CHURCH ASHEVILLE “The hands of the king are healing hands, and thus shall the rightful king be known.” — JRR Tolkien Lord of the Rings “No minister of an earthly sovereign would ever announce, ‘So and so has become king! If it please you, accept him as your king!’ Such a blasé, noncommittal declaration certainly did not characterize the news of a Roman emperor’s ascension to the throne. The very announcement that so and so is king contains an implicit demand for submission. Jesus’ announcement that God is king contains the same absolute demand. The divine rule blazed abroad by Jesus, therefore, requires demand. The divine rule blazed abroad by Jesus, therefore, requires immediate human decision and commitment: repentance, submission to God’s reign, and trust that the incredible is taking place.” — David Garland A Theology of Mark’s Gospel “We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words –– to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” — CS Lewis The Weight of Glory “The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar full of fifteen-hundred-year-old, two-hundred proof Grace – bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves single-handedly.

  • Psalms Devotionals
    Read Psalm 1 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalms 1:6 When our family moved to Memphis from Missouri, all I had to go on for directions was Mapquest. So as we were getting closer to our new home, I turned off on the exit that the website had given, which I soon regretted. We must have arrived in the same Memphis ghetto that inspired Elvis to write his song. It was congested and difficult to get the U- haul through some of traffic that we were encountering. After finally arriving at our apartment, my brother-in-law who was following us in his car suggested that next time I just look at a map instead of blindly trusting a website. Have you ever just taken someone’s word on the right way to go? Unfortunately, we live in a society of know-it-alls. In an effort to appear more important or smarter than they really are, some people are willing to simply say whatever comes into their head. I would like to tell you this is an epidemic amongst the lost only, but there are plenty of believers who get wrapped up in self-importance and can lead us astray. Believers have to remember that when man is confused, God is not. Surround yourself with godly people who can give you counsel, but remember that ultimately God’s going to reveal His will for your life to you. This verse says that God knows the way of the righteous and it literally means He "approves" it.
