Westside Church Order of Worship -- 13 June 2021 Westside Church Order of Worship -- 13 June 2021 Reflection: “The Church is an earthly heaven in which the super-celestial God dwells and walks about.” Germanus of Constantinople Welcome/Silent Preparation —Worship in Praise— Call to Worship -- the Book of Revelation Minister: Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. People: Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Doxology©Public Domain Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise Him all creatures here below Praise Him above ye heavenly host Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost Amen ALL: To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever! Hymn of Adoration Crown Him with Many Crowns Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne. Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity. Crown Him the Lord of love, Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, But downward bends His wond'ring eye at mysteries so bright. Crown Him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, Who rose victorious to the strife for those He came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died, and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. Crown Him the Lord of heav'n, One with the Father known, One with the Spirit through Him giv'n from yonder glorious throne, To Thee be endless praise, for Thou for us hast died; Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days Adored and magnified. Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise shall never never fail Throughout eternity. Prayer of Adoration —Worship in Confession and Pardon— Call to Confession Mark 8 If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Hymn of Lament Jesus I My Cross Have Taken Jesus, I my cross have taken Perish every fond ambition All to leave and follow Thee All I’ve sought or hoped or known Destitute, despised, forsaken Yet how rich is my condition! Thou from hence my all shall be God and heaven are still my own Think what Father’s smiles are thine Go, then, earthly fame and treasure Think that Jesus died to win thee Come disaster, scorn and pain Child of heaven, canst thou repine In Thy service, pain is pleasure With Thy favor, loss is gain Haste thee on from grace to glory I have called Thee Abba Father Armed by faith, and winged by prayer I have stayed my heart on Thee Heav’n’s eternal days before thee Storms may howl, and clouds may gather God’s own hand shall guide us there All must work for good to me Soon shall close thy earthly mission Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days Soul, then know thy full salvation Hope shall change to glad fruition Rise o’er sin and fear and care Faith to sight, and prayer to praise Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear Think what Spirit dwells within thee Prayer of Confession (corporate) Almighty God, In difficult times, we are reminded of our dependence on You. Though we are weak, You are strong. Though we are uncertain, You are unchanging. In our times of chaos and confusion, You calm the storms of our lives. Oh God, we trust in You alone. Hear now our silent confessions. Silent Confession Praise of Absolution (corporate) Father Almighty May we lift our heads to see You in control. Let our souls be refreshed by Your Spirit. Remind us daily that “good” is not our past; It is our future. Oh God, we hope in You alone. Enable us, by your Holy Spirit, To be Your light that shines in the darkness. As in ages past, empower the Church To be the love of Christ to the world. Set our hearts aflame for Your mission. Oh God, we live for You alone, through Christ our Lord, amen. Words of Absolution - (from Revelation 1) To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Hymn of Response His Love Can Never Fail I do not ask to see the way My feet will have to tread; But only that my soul may feed Upon the living Bread. ’Tis better far that I should walk By faith close to His side; I may not know the way I go, But oh, I know my Guide. Refrain His love can never fail, His love can never fail, My soul is satisfied to know His love can never fail. My soul is satisfied to know His love can never fail. And if my feet would go astray, They cannot, for I know That Jesus guides my falt’ring steps, As joyfully I go. And tho’ I may not see His face, My faith is strong and clear, That in each hour of sore distress My Savior will be near. Refrain I will not fear, tho’ darkness come Abroad o’er all the land, If I may only feel the touch Of His own loving hand. And tho’ I tremble when I think How weak I am, and frail, My soul is satisfied to know His love can never fail. Refrain x2 Confession of Faith...The Heidelberg Catechism Ruling Elder Luke Lilevjen 12. Since, according to God's righteous judgment we deserve temporal and eternal punishment,how can we escape this punishment and be again received into favour? A. God demands that his justice be satisfied. Therefore we must make full payment, either by ourselves or through another. 13. Can we by ourselves make this payment? A. Certainly not. On the contrary, we daily increase our debt. 14. Can any mere creature pay for us? A. No. In the first place, God will not punish another creature for the sin which man has committed. Furthermore, no mere creature can sustain the burden of God's eternal wrath against sin and deliver others from it. —Worship and the Means of Grace— OT Scripture Passage: Daniel 7:9-14 Congregational Prayer Ruling Elder Nominee Mike Van Arsdale NT Scripture Passage: Revelation 1:9-20 The Preaching of God’s Word: John The Real Jesus Revealed Rev. Davis W. Morgan —Worship in Gratitude— Celebration of the Lord’s Supper Fencing the Table Words of Institution Meditating on God’s Grace in Jesus: “Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.” Charles Spurgeon “Confidence in the sovereignty of God in all that affects us is crucial to our trusting Him. If there is a single event in all of the universe that can occur outside of God’s sovereign control then we cannot trust Him. His love may be infinite, but if His power is limited and His purpose can be thwarted, we cannot trust Him.” Jerry Bridges “Christ Himself with all His glory will be really and continually with us. We shall no longer have to be satisfied with the mere descriptions of Him that we have in the gospel. We shall see Him face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12) and as He is (1 John 3:2). We shall see Him with our bodily eyes, for Job says: “In my flesh shall I see God (my Redeemer), whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold” (Job 19:25-27). Our bodily senses will be restored and glorified in a way we cannot now understand, in order that we may be able to look at Christ and His glory forever and ever. We shall see not only His human nature but His divinity also in its infinite wisdom, love and power. That glory will be a thousand times more than anything we can imagine. John Owen “People will always reflect something, whether it be God's character or some feature of the world. If people are committed to God, they will become like him; if they are committed to something other than God, they will become like that thing, always spiritually inanimate and empty like the lifeless and vain aspect of creation to which they have committed themselves.” G.K.

  • Study-On-Hell-By-Patrick-Mead.Pdf
    Several questions at [email protected] were about hell. Will the wicked suffer forever in torments of flame? Will they be there as long as we are in heaven? What about people who don't know about Jesus? There were perhaps ten variations on this theme. I have been hesitant to answer these questions because I am in the middle of a major study on this myself. If you will offer me permission to "think aloud" on this difficult topic and be kind to offer me grace if I am wrong, I will go ahead and begin to answer. It may take several columns to deal with the issues involved. Full disclosure: I believe there are elements of ego and wish fulfillment that hover around any theological discussion. I want to be upfront about my own issues here. I was raised in the far right of the Church of Christ. All people who didn't follow our system were, I was assured, bound for eternity in flames. A million million years in torment, they would be no closer to the end of their suffering than they were on the day they died. This hell-bound group included more than the obvious candidates (smokers, drinkers, dancers, atheists, card players, Hitler). It also consisted of any person who went to any other church than our particular branch of the CoC. I didn't want that to be true. I agonized even as a young child about how God could burn people forever and yet say "God is love." I bring this up because, as I paw through this pile of books on my desk this cold, snowy morning, I want to be open and say that my desire to find an alternative view might be impacting me in subconscious ways.

  • Post-Traumatic Narrativization of Myths and Fairy Tales in John Banville's Th
    Estudios Irlandeses, Issue 16, 2021, pp. 153-164. https://doi.org/10.24162/EI2021-9981 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI From “dead saint” to “lyreless Orpheus”: Post-traumatic Narrativization of Myths and Fairy Tales in John Banville’s The Sea and Anne Enright’s The Gathering Héloïse Lecomte École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France Copyright (c) 2021 by Héloïse Lecomte. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. In The Sea (2005) and The Gathering (2007), John Banville and Anne Enright incorporate modernist and postmodernist intertextuality into accounts of bereavement. While the shattered existence of the protagonists is seemingly devoid of religious belief, they mobilize the palimpsestic immemorial past of mythological and fairy-tale intertexts to make sense of broken realities. The narrators’ self-portraits and invocations of lost people and places, oscillating between reminiscence and mythification, underscore postmodernism’s play with canonical stories. Both authors use mythological syncretism to express their characters’ quest for meaning: while Greek, Egyptian and Norse gods invade The Sea’s modern-day “Atlantis” (132), The Gathering is peopled with subverted Christian and Irish figures. However, rather than restoring coherence, myth and fairy-tale tropes are suffused with desperate irony, and the magic spell woven by mythological counterpoints turns out to be a post-traumatic, grimacing reflection of the characters’ troubled psyches, or an obfuscating screen. By interweaving and debunking seminal myths and tales, Banville and Enright give life to personal myths that bespeak the characters’ deep-seated sense of loss and disenchantment.

  • Whiskey Soaked and Hell Bound. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Southern Culture
    WHISKEY SOAKED AND HELL BOUND: LYNYRD SKYNYRD AND SOUTHERN CULTURE CECIL K. HUTSON lowa State University (Resumen) Aunque el grupo sureño Lynyrd Skynyrd alcanzó audiencia nacional por su especial modo de hacer rock del sur, en toda su carrera se aprecia una fuerte defensa de los valores tradionales de la cultura sureña. La bandera confederada en todas sus portadas, el orgullo regional, el agrarianismo rural, y la apología al macho sureño, todo ello proyectado en violencia y provocación, convirtieron al grupo en paradigma del conservadurismo del Viejo Sur. Unlike other hard rock groups, the legendary Southern rock and roll band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, did not emerge from the urban ghettos of such cities as London or New York, instead it came out of the rural South. This "rough and tough and plenty mean" Southern band utilized regional cultural traits to become one of the best hard rock bands that the South ever produced. In 1974 Melody Maker, a major rock and roll trades magazine, claimed that Lynyrd Skynyrd's "brand" of Southern rock music had swept across the Southern states. Band members and Southemers, Ronnie Van Zant, Alien Collins, Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, León Wilkeson, Artimus Pyle and Steve Gaines understood the mind-set of the young rural Southemers who listened to their music; thus they were able to speak for a generation of young Southern men. Lynyrd Skynyrd merits study as a major element of Southern popular culture because it had a significant influence on rock 'n' roll. In fact, the band has been labeled as "one of the most

  • 1 Is There a Hell?
    Is There a Hell? Pastor Kelly Sensenig Donald Grey Barnhouse was called to the hospital by a doctor friend. An atheist who disliked Barnhouse was dying. Barnhouse responded, "I'll come right over to see him." The doctor noted, "But he doesn't like you." But Barnhouse insisted he was coming anyway. He entered the patient's room, grabbed a chair, sat down and folded his arms and said nothing. The atheist was curious and irritated. "All right, what do you want, Barnhouse?," he finally asked. Barnhouse answered, "I've come to see what it's like when an atheist goes to hell." Then he proceeded to lead him to Christ. Voltaire, on his deathbed, addressed his doctor: “I am abandoned by God and man. I will give you half of what I am worth, if you will give me six months’ life.” The doctor replied, “Sir, you cannot live six weeks.” Voltaire replied, “Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me.” Soon after he expired. It seems that the doctrine of hell disappeared from the church and nobody noticed. The doctrine of hell seems to be out of step with our times. The only people who use the words “hell” and “damn” are those who curse or swear and take the subject of eternal punishment lightly. Hell is mostly a curse word or joke work among people today. Many laugh at the very idea of such a place. They scoff at the Word of God, which teaches about an eternal place of suffering. In today’s pulpits hell is a vanishing doctrine.

  • From “Michael” by William Wordsworth
    1 For the delight of a few natural hearts; And, with yet fonder feeling, for the sake Of youthful Poets, who among these hills Will be my second self when I am gone. From “Michael” by William Wordsworth 2 Prose For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty. John Cheever 3 Honorable Mention – Jaedyn Johnson Karin Orchard – Daniel Boone High School The House The palms of my hands sweated heavily as my friend and I stood in a line of at least fifty people. I was anxious, and my face grew pale as loud blood curdling screams echoed through the trees. ‘Twas the night before Halloween and I somehow ended up standing in the line of the scariest haunted house in my city. The fear of faces jumping out at me and the terrifying laughs that seemed to play at my emotions gobbled up my insides. The other thing that made my skin crawl was that the haunted house was in the middle of nowhere. It was as if we were in an actual horror movie. Fog surrounded the house as if it were some blanket that kept the house warm. Although, there were no warm feelings coming from that house. I could tell it was staring at me, eyes as glowing green windows and a mouth of two unwelcoming wooden doors. The paint job of the house was a horrific brown color and the smell was musty as if I were in some swamp.
