MOMENT FOR STEWARDSHIP Daryl Bogan

MOMENT FOR MISSION Allyson Black

Reading & Proclaiming God’s Word RESPONSIVE PSALTER LESSON Allyson Black

Psalm 96:1-13

O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from

day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among

all the peoples.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be

revered above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the

heavens.

Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are

in his sanctuary.

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the

LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an

offering, and come into his courts.

Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the

earth.

Say among the nations, "The LORD is king! The world is

firmly established; it shall never be moved. He will judge the

peoples with equity."

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea

roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it.

Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the

LORD; for he is coming, for he is coming to judge the

earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

Leader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. People: Thanks be to God!

*GOSPEL LESSON Tom Huguley

Leader: The Gospel of the Lord according to Matthew. People: Praise be to you, O Christ.

Matthew 21:23-32: When he entered the temple, the chief

priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was

teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these

things, and who gave you this authority?" Jesus said to them,

"I will also ask you one question; if you tell me the answer,

then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. Did

the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human

origin?" And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'From

heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But if we say, 'Of human origin,' we are afraid of the crowd; for

all regard John as a prophet." So they answered Jesus, "We

do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by

what authority I am doing these things.

"What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the

first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' He

answered, 'I will not'; but later he changed his mind and went.

The father went to the second and said the same; and he

answered, 'I go, sir'; but he did not go. Which of the two did

the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to

them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are

going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came

to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him,

but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and

even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and

believe him.

Leader: For the Word of God in scripture, for the Word of God among us, for the Word of God within us.

People: Thanks be to God.

*THE FELLOWSHIP HYMN (SEE INSERT) Lord, Be Glorified

Bob Kilpatrick

Bob Kilpatrick was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and his gospel

standard “In My Life Lord Be Glorified”, which is now published in

many hymnals as “Lord Be Glorified”, was the driving force behind

Fair Oaks Records in Sacramento because of its popularity among

the young churchgoer in the denominational/non-traditional church.

The song is a prayer asking God to be glorified in all aspects of our

lives because He is the King of Glory, the Lord of hosts, Psalm

24:10. This song was assigned to the Lorenz Corporation in 1998.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE Ray Landis

ACOLYTES ENTER ON LAST VERSE OF HYMN

*HYMN OF RESPONSE (SEE INSERT) Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior PASS ME NOT

Fanny J. Crosby, the great American hymn writer with more than 350

songs to her credit gave us lyrics to many of our favorite hymns that

are familiar to many of us since childhood. “Pass Me Not, O Gentle

Savior” is performed in Baptist churches throughout the world and is

still favored by many arrangers especially in the African American

gospel tradition. The rhythm and tune may change but the anointed

words of Fanny Crosby will continue to last for generations to come.

Our traditional tune this morning is by William Doane.
