3 Opening Song (please stand) Your Mercy Paul LaRoche I once was lost, I walked away The road was dark, I could not see My hope was gone, the pain was real But your mercy You saw my steps, you felt my fears You heard my cries, you caught my tears Arms open wide, you ran to me With your mercy REFRAIN Your mercy, your mercy I stand before my King And I bow my heart to sing: You saved me, you raised me. You died so I could live, No greater love than this, Your mercy. You give me life beyond the grave, My deepest shame is cast away. You sing a song that covers me, It's your mercy. REFRAIN Your lovingkindness Leads me to repentance. Your lovingkindness Leads me to repentance. Lord, let your kindness Lead us to repentance. Lord let your kindness lead us to repentance. 3

4 We Confess Our Sins and Hear God s Promise of Forgiveness P: Our help is in the name of the Lord, C: who made heaven and earth. P: Let us confess our sins in the presence of God and of one another. P: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, C: we have sinned against you in our thoughts, in our words, in our deeds, and in all that we have not done. Forgive us in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Deliver and restore us, that we may rest in peace. P: By the mercy of God we are redeemed by Jesus Christ, and in him we are forgiven. Let us rest in his peace until the rising of the sun when we shall serve him in newness of life. C: Amen. Song of Praise Your Mercy Paul LaRoche Your mercy, your mercy I stand before my King And I bow my heart to sing: You saved me, you raised me. You died so I could live, No greater love than this, Your mercy. Your mercy, Lord, your mercy, your mercy. 4

5 Prayer of the Day P: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. P: Let us pray: O Lord Jesus Christ, preserve the congregation of believers with your never failing mercy. Help us avoid whatever is wicked and harmful, and guide us in the way that leads to our salvation; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. (be seated) The First Lesson James 1: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double minded and unstable in all they do. 9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. 12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 5

The Gospel Mark 1:35-39 (please stand) P: The Gospel for today comes from Mark 1:35 39. C: Glory be to you, O Lord!

6 The Gospel Mark 1:35-39 (please stand) P: The Gospel for today comes from Mark 1: C: Glory be to you, O Lord! 35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: Everyone is looking for you! 38 Jesus replied, Let us go somewhere else to the nearby villages so I can preach there also. That is why I have come. 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. P: This is the Good News of our Lord! C: Praise be to you, O Christ! After the children's lesson, a staffed nursery is available. Meet the nursery workers in back, and they will take the kids to the playroom. You can pick them up at any time. 6

7 Song of the Day What a Friend We Have in Jesus (CW #411) What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit. Oh, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry, Everything to God in prayer. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful? Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our Refuge, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do your friends despise forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer. In his arms He ll take and shield you. You will find a solace there. 7

8 The Message Discipleship, Celebration & Recommencement Acts 14: They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God, they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
