WORSHIP AUGUST 11, 2013
19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE GATHERING Robert Gray
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
THE PRELUDE Walter Huff, organist
* THE CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: All you who are righteous, shout joyfully to the Lord!
People: It is right for those who do right to praise God.
Leader: Sing to God a new song! Play your best with joyful shouts!
People: The Lord’s word is right; God’s every act is done in good faith.
Leader: God loves righteousness and justice; the Lord’s faithful love fills the whole earth.
Let us worship our God! -Psalm 33
* THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 489 Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
THE CALL TO CONFESSION
THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, gladly we live and move and have our being in you. Yet always in the
midst of this creation-glory, we see sin’s shadow and feel death’s darkness:
around us in the earth, sea and sky, the abuse of matter; beside us in the broken,
the hungry and the poor, the betrayal of one another; and often deep within us,
a striving against your Spirit. O Trinity of love, forgive us that we may forgive
one another, heal us that we may be people of healing, and renew us that we
also may be makers of peace. Amen.
- from Iona Abby Worship Book
A MOMENT OF SILENCE (for examination of conscience and personal prayers of confession)
THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Leader: Hear the good news! Who is in a position to condemn?
People: Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in
power for us, Christ prays for us.
Leader: So believe the good news of the gospel.
People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!
* THE CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE (Hymn 139)
To Thee, great One in Three, the highest praises be, hence evermore!
Thy sovereign majesty may we in glory see, and to eternity love and adore.
* THE PEACE OF CHRIST

THE MINUTE MESSAGE Taylor Morton
THE FIRST LESSON Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 (page 592 in the pew Bible, OT)
THE ANTHEM I Will Arise Sacred Harp/Walker’s Southern Harmony
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you,
full of pity, love, and power. I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; in the arms of
my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms. Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, God’s free
bounty glorify; true belief and true repentance, every grace that brings you nigh. Come, ye weary, heavy
laden, lost and ruined by the fall; if you tarry till you’re better, you will never come at all.
THE SECOND LESSON Luke 12:32-40 (page 70 in the pew Bible, NT)
THE SERMON “Lit Lamps and Fastened Belts” Drew Stockstill
* THE HYMN 301 Lord Jesus, Think on Me
* THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH from the Scots Confession
We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to whom we must cleave, whom
alone we must serve, whom only we must worship, and in whom alone we put our
trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible, omnipotent, invisible;
one in substance and yet distinct in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost. We most surely believe that God preserved, instructed, multiplied, honored,
adorned, and called from death to life, God’s church in all ages since Adam, until
the coming of Christ Jesus in the flesh. Amen.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
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.
THE OFFERTORY Blessed Assurance arr. Thygerson
* THE DOXOLOGY AND PRAYER OF DEDICATION (Hymn 592)
* THE HYMN 248 You Are Before Me, Lord
* THE CHARGE AND BENEDICTION
* THE CHORAL RESPONSE O Lord, You Are My God and King (Jerusalem) Parry
O Lord, You are my God and King, and I will ever bless Your name; I will extol You every day, and
evermore Your praise proclaim. Eternal is Your kingdom, Lord; forever strong, forever sure. While
generations rise and fall, Your high dominion will endure.
