All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him— may your hearts live forever! 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 28 for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. 3 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Call to Worship Take some time to to make yourself present to the God who makes himself present to us.

Share with one another something you’ve been thankful for or something that has helped you through this past week in quarantine. We will also have some time after the breakout rooms to share with our community any thanksgivings, praises, or prayer requests. 9 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Announcements Church Directory Ongoing We are hoping to create a church directory to keep everyone updated on Christ Kaleidoscope announcements and events. Please take some time to fill out the answers so we have your contact information. The directory will only be viewable by the board. Here is the link. 10 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Announcements Community Journal Ongoing If you haven't viewed the Community Journal lately, take a moment to check out some of things that have been posted recently. And if you haven't posted and you have the time, create a slide of your own as a way to stay connected with one another during this time. Volunteer Opportunities Ongoing In the time of COVID, a time of great need and hardship for many people in our cities and communities, it can be really easy to get overwhelmed by the feeling we can't do anything because we must stay isolated and detached from our greater community as much as possible. We wanted to make sure that if you do want to give back, to volunteer, to give time, money or effort, there are still so many organizations that need your help! With everything from cooking dinner for people and food distribution to virtual visits to residents isolated in nursing homes there are so many things you can do! To check out a full list of opportunities in Orange County, visit the United Way COVID-19 Volunteer Needs page. 11 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Hearing God’s Word As we come to God’s Word, may our hearts be fertile ground to receive what God has to say to us this morning. PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION (in unison) Living God, Help us to hear your Holy Word with open hearts, so that we may truly understand; and understanding, that we may believe; and believing, that we may follow in all faithfulness and obedience, seeking your honor and glory in all that we do. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 12 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Hearing God’s Word As we come to God’s Word, may our hearts be fertile ground to receive what God has to say to us this morning.

Rock. Rock. The separation process takes days. Weeks. Once we’re finished with one field, we move to the next. Rock. Stone. “Honey, come back to bed.” My wife’s voice shakes me from the searing light of the field, with its hot wind, fuzzy-edged images, and echoing sounds. I look at the block in my hand, then down at my feet. Two neat piles, of toys, of shoes, clothing. Have I been gathering in my sleep again? 40 QUOTE Text 40 6/23/08, 11:46 AM Six men. No women. We get paid better the faster we move, the more we separate. What they do with the stones and rocks, I can’t remember: they may have told me once. All I know is I smell like dirt and sweat, like the earth I move all day long, a dusty machine. Their machine. I eat when they tell me. Leave when they tell me. Drink the water they give me to keep from passing out.

  • THE DOUBLE CURE and Other Holiness Sermons
    WESLEYAN HERITAGE Library Holiness Writers THE DOUBLE CURE (And Other Holiness Sermons) By Joseph Gray “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” Heb 12:14 Spreading Scriptural Holiness to the World Wesleyan Heritage Publications © 1998 THE DOUBLE CURE And Other Holiness Sermons by Joseph Gray "Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure." -- Augustus Toplady -- BEACON HILL PRESS Kansas City, Mo. FIRST PRINTING, APRIL, 1953 SECOND PRINTING, AUGUST, 1953 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [NO COPYRIGHT] THE DOUBLE CURE And Other Holiness Sermons by Joseph Gray FOREWORD Here is another book of sermons without an apology. For it is not only a book of sermons; it is my song of faith and saga of adventure. On January 29, 1914, as a boy in my teens, I gave my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. On March 28 of that same year I was sanctified wholly. Just a month later, on April 25, God called me to preach. I floundered around a little the first year or two getting my feet down, especially in relation to my special calling. But on January 1, 1916, I made my consecration afresh and anew. A month before, I had prayed back to God under the platform of a hay-baler as I poked the tying wires back through the hay-press. Now over thirty-five years later I can record that it has been a time of practically unbroken fellowship with the constant, indwelling presence of the blessed Holy Spirit in my heart.

  • A Metaphoric and Generic Criticism of Jars of Clayâ•Žs Concept Video, Good Monsters
    Good Monsters Criticism 1 Running head: GOOD MONSTERS CRITICISM Monsters, Of Whom I am Chief: A Metaphoric and Generic Criticism of Jars of Clay’s Concept Video, Good Monsters Jennifer R. Brown A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2008 Good Monsters Criticism 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Faith Mullen, Ph.D. Chairman of Thesis ______________________________ Monica Rose, D.Min. Committee Member ______________________________ Michael P. Graves, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date Good Monsters Criticism 3 Abstract Images of Frankenstein and the boogeyman no doubt come to mind when one thinks of monsters. Can a monster be “good”? What does it mean to be something typically personified as bad and yet apply such a contradictory adjective? What do men dancing in brightly colored costumes have to do with people dying every day in sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world? These are just some of the questions inspired by a curious and unforgettable artifact. This study is a rhetorical analysis of the Jars of Clay song and concept video, Good Monsters . Within the professional and social context of the video’s release are many clues as to the intention of the creators of the text. How can a greater meaning be understood? The first methodology used in this study is metaphoric criticism, which is applied to the lyrics, visual images, and musical movements of the artifact.

  • A Book of Strife in the Form of the Diary of an Old Soul
    A Book of Strife in the Form of The Diary of an Old Soul George MacDonald • DEDICATION • JANUARY. • FEBRUARY. • MARCH. • APRIL. • MAY. • JUNE. • JULY. • AUGUST. • SEPTEMBER. • OCTOBER. • NOVEMBER • DECEMBER. DEDICATION Sweet friends, receive my offering. You will find Against each worded page a white page set:-- This is the mirror of each friendly mind Reflecting that. In this book we are met. Make it, dear hearts, of worth to you indeed:-- Let your white page be ground, my print be seed, Growing to golden ears, that faith and hope shall feed. YOUR OLD SOUL The Diary of an Old Soul. JANUARY. 1. LORD, what I once had done with youthful might, Had I been from the first true to the truth, Grant me, now old, to do--with better sight, And humbler heart, if not the brain of youth; So wilt thou, in thy gentleness and ruth, Lead back thy old soul, by the path of pain, Round to his best--young eyes and heart and brain. 2. A dim aurora rises in my east, Beyond the line of jagged questions hoar, As if the head of our intombed High Priest Began to glow behind the unopened door: Sure the gold wings will soon rise from the gray!-- They rise not. Up I rise, press on the more, To meet the slow coming of the Master's day. 3. Sometimes I wake, and, lo! I have forgot, And drifted out upon an ebbing sea! My soul that was at rest now resteth not, For I am with myself and not with thee; Truth seems a blind moon in a glaring morn, Where nothing is but sick-heart vanity: Oh, thou who knowest! save thy child forlorn.
