Prelude                                                                                                     Miriam Enman

Introit                                                                                                                             Through It All                                                                                                                                  

Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God;
Through it all, Through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

Call to Worship                                      Written by Dot Woods, in “Sunday Mid-day Prayer”

Leader: We gather to meet with God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit

People: To be aware of your presence in our day
For you, Lord, are here now;

your Spirit dwells within us

Leader: To bring you our worship
And offer you our praise

People: To be conscious that you walk beside us
And we do not make the journey alone

Hymn                                                                                                         Give Me Jesus

In the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise, give me Jesus.

Chorus: Give me Jesus, give me Jesus, you may have all this world, give me Jesus.

Dark midnight was my cry, dark midnight was my cry, dark midnight was my cry, give me Jesus Chorus
Just about the break of day, just about the break of day, just about the break of day, give me Jesus. Chorus

O, when I come to die, O, when I come to die, O, when I come to die, give me Jesus Chorus

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer                         by Mindi Welton-Mitchell on rev-o-lution.org

Wondrous and Amazing God, You inspire us in Your creation to create in our lives. You teach us as Your disciple us to disciple others. You inspire us. You stir in us the spirit of compassion for others as You have compassion for us. You are awe-inspiring far beyond what we can imagine, and yet we dare try. We have a glimpse of Your grace and beauty in our human lives. We have a glimpse of Your majesty and sovereignty in the world You made. We have Your wisdom and insight in our minds and hearts through Your spirit. Call us into a way of life that is worship, that is trust and faithfulness, in our stewardship of the earth and care for each other. In the name of the Creator, Holy Wisdom from on high, and our brother Jesus Christ, we pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen

Prayer for the People

Hymn                                                                                        There is a Balm in Gilead

Chorus: There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work’s in vain
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again Chorus

If you cannot preach like Peter
If you cannot pray like Paul
You can tell the love of Jesus
And say, “He died for all”. Chorus

Don’t ever feel discouraged
For Jesus is your friend
And if you lack of knowledge
He’ll ne’er refuse to lend. Chorus                                                                                    

Text for the Message                                                                     1 Peter 4:12- 19 (NIV)

Dear friends, don’t be surprised about the fiery trials that have come among you to test you. These are not strange happenings. Instead, rejoice as you share Christ’s suffering. You share his suffering now so that you may also have overwhelming joy when his glory is revealed.If you are mocked because of Christ’s name, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory—indeed, the Spirit of God—rests on you.

Now none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or evildoer or rebel.But don’t be ashamed if you suffer as one who belongs to Christ. Rather, honor God as you bear Christ’s name. Give honor to God,because it’s time for judgment to begin with God’s own household. But if judgment starts with us, what will happen to those who refuse to believe God’s good news? If the righteous are barely rescued, what will happen to the godless and sinful? So then, those who suffer because they follow God’s will should commit their lives to a trustworthy creator by doing what is right.

Message

Hymn                                                                                I Want Jesus to Walk with Me

I want Jesus to walk with me; I want Jesus to walk with me; all along my pilgrim journey, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.

In my trials, Lord, walk with me; in my trials, Lord, walk with me; when my heart I almost breaking, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.

When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me; when I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me; when my head is bowed in sorrow, Lord, I wasn’t Jesus to walk with me.                     

Benediction (Blessing)
