Kimball CALL TO WORSHIP God Highly Exalted Him, Philippians 2:1-11 Leader: Jim Davey (Junonia) LEADER: If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love,
LADIES: If there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, LEADER: Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. MEN: Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind, let each of you regard one another as more important than himself. LEADER: Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of other. LADIES: Have the attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus LEADER: Who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped; MEN: But emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. LEADER: And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross. LADIES: Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, LEADER: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, EVERYONE: And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. *SING GOD S PRAISE Hymn #44 Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing Text: C.
