6 Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 1:18-21 Karen Colvin Scripture Reading: Revelations 5 THE RULING LAMB Lois Robertson *SONG OF WORSHIP: CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS (Hymn #92) (VERSE 1) Crown him with many crowns, the lamb upon his throne; hark! how the heavenly 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. (VERSE 2) Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o er the grave, and rose victorious in 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. (VERSE 3) Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bend their burning eyes at mysteries so bright. (VERSE 4) Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. POSTLUDE Beautiful Savior Organ Paul Davis Readings today by Robert A. Chamin

7 Elder Misty Cross is available for prayer after the service. Lectionary Readings Deuteronomy 26:1 11 Romans 10:8b 13 Psalm 91:1 2, 9 16 Luke 4:1 13 Questions for Reflection In Luke 4:1 13, the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, to take control of the kingdoms of the world, and to perform a spectacular stunt that would wow the crowd. Jesus refused to take control in these ways. Instead, Jesus chose another way to feed hungry people, to demonstrate what the kingdom of God looks like, and to enter Jerusalem humbly. Why do think Jesus chose another way to do justice and what are some ways that you and your faith community practice justice in his name? Household Prayer: Morning As I enter into the gift of this day, I trust that you are with me. May I see signs and wonders of your presence in the world today, for you alone are God. I ask that this day afford me opportunities to celebrate and share with others the abundance of your grace and love. Help me to be open to all people you bring my way, for you yourself make no distinctions, but are Lord of all. In Christ s name, I pray. Amen. Household Prayer: Evening I pray this night for all who long to see a sign of your power in the darkness that surrounds them. Be near to them and show them your salvation. And in the morning when I rise, give me your work to do for another day; in Jesus name. Amen.
