The Messenger March 21, 2021 The Messenger March 21, 2021 CHRISTGREENSBORO.ORG | 336.299.1571 WEEKLY WORSHIP • March 21, 2021 • 11:00 a.m. This service will premiere on Sunday morning at 11am via Facebook Live, YouTube, and Christ Church Radio, WDFC 101.7FM (christgreensboro.org/live). It is rebroadcast on the radio Mondays at 11am and Wednesdays at 3:30pm, and is available any time through our website. TRINITY CHIMES WELCOME Pastor Virginia Reynolds OPENING VOLUNTARY Our Father, We Have Wandered arr. Johann Walther CALL TO WORSHIP Our God is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and filled with unfailing love. He is close to all who call on Him in truth, listening to their cries for help and offering them salvation. So let us bring our confession and praise to God, knowing that he will hear our prayers and forgive. Let us worship the Lord our God in thought, mind, and deed. OPENING HYMN Lord, We Confess our Numerous Faults ST. PETER Lord, we confess our numerous faults, how great our guilt has been, How vain and foolish all our thoughts, how deeply stained with sin. But oh, my soul, forever praise, forever love, his name Who turns your feet from dangerous ways of folly, sin, and shame. 'Tis not by works of righteousness which our own hands have done, But we are saved by God's free grace abounding through his Son. PRAYER OF CONFESSION, ASSURANCE, AND PARDON Reconciling God, we confess that we do not trust your abundance. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought, word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in newness of life. Amen. (Silent Confession) Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of grace and mercy, we have peace with God through Christ Jesus. In the name of Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God. CHRIST KIDS TIME Katey Galyon BE THE CHURCH CALL TO PRAYER May Our Spirits Be Right Alfred Neumann PASTORAL PRAYER & LORD’S PRAYER ANTHEM It Is Well with My Soul arr. John Purifoy SCRIPTURE READING 1 John 1:6-8; James 5:16 SERMON Sacred Practices: It’s Good for the Soul Pastor Morris Brown CLOSING HYMN God Be Merciful to Me UNSER HERRSCHER God, be merciful to me, on thy grace I rest my plea; plenteous in compassion thou, blot out my transgressions now; wash me, make me pure within, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. My transgressions I confess, grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against thy grace and provoked thee to thy face; I confess thy judgment just, speechless, I thy mercy trust. Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true; cast me not away from thee, let thy Spirit dwell in me; thy salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart.

These times of reflection will challenge and inspire us to follow Jesus through the wilderness, alienation, betrayal and even death. Along the way, we will confront the sin of racism, renew our faith, and remember the promise of Easter—that redemption, reconciliation and liberation is possible.

  • 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 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.

Let the praise be all the Lord’s, When Does a Person How the fields and valleys smile! As the benefit is ours! Receive a Soul? Harvest now is drawing near He, in seasons, still affords To repay the farmer’s toil: Kindly heat, and gentle flowers: For our young readers... Gracious Lord, secure the crop, By His care the produce thrives, The Israelites in the Satisfy the poor with food; Waving o’er the furrowed lands; Wilderness In Thy mercy is our hope, And when harvest-time arrives, We have sinned, but Thou art good. Ready for the reaper stands. Rich While I view the plenteous grain Thus in barren hearts He sows As it ripens on the stalk; Precious seeds of heav’nly joy;* May I not instruction gain, Sin, and hell, in vain oppose, Helpful, to my daily walk? None can grace’s crop destroy: All this plenty of the field Threatened oft, though still it blooms, Was produced from foreign seeds; After many changes past, For the earth itself would yield Death, the reaper, when he comes, Only crops of useless weeds. Finds it fully ripe at last. — John Newton Though, when newly sown, it lay *Hosea 14:7; Mark 4:26-29 Hid awhile beneath the ground, (Some might think it thrown away,) Now a large increase is found; Though concealed, it was not lost, Though it died, it lives again; Eastern storms, and nipping frosts Have opposed its growth in vain.

  • Camino Hymns
    Camino Hymns A Mighty Fortress Is Our God A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, On Earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabbaoth, His name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours, thru Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. Abide With Me Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me.

Believe Him and say: I believe, I believe God.
