WORSHIP OF OUR LORD October 21, 2018 Nothing I am sure has such a tendency to quench fire of religion as possession of money. J.C. Ryle We do trust in our riches. Our words prove it. America s national retirement plan is called Social Security. We call our investments securities and trusts, as if we can trust m for a secure future. We also make money a god in additional ways. We give it title of deity: Almighty Dollar. We make money a judge. When someone asks, What is he worth? he or she means, How much money, how many assets, does he have? We speak as if a man s financial assets determine his worth. Dan Doriani, The Life of a God-Made Man WE GATHER TOGETHER Welcome & Announcements Keeping of Silence Preparation of worship Prayer of Invocation Acknowledging our need for God to work in service WE ARE CALLED TO WORSHIP *Call to Worship based on Psalm 34:1-9 I will bless Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in Lord; let humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify Lord with me, and let us exalt his name toger! I sought Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. The angel of Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers m. Oh, taste and see that Lord is good! Blessed is man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! * denotes this will be done standing

WE ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SIN Call To Confession from Proverbs 1:22-32 How long will scoffers delight in ir scoffing? If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you. Because y despised all my reproof, and did not choose fear of Lord, refore y shall eat fruit of ir way, and have ir fill of ir own devices. For simple are killed by ir turning away, and complacency of fools destroys m. Corporate Confession of Sin from 2 Timothy 6:17-19 Merciful Lord, hear our confession: We are those who are haughty. We think what we possess makes us better than ors. We are those who set our hopes on riches. We trust our possessions to keep us safe in all circumstances. We are those who forget God's abundant blessings. We believe good we have is from our own hands. We are those who lack generosity. We hold tightly to our things instead of being open-handed. We are those who seek earthly treasures. We idolize kingdom of this world over kingdom of heaven. Merciful Lord, all this sin stems from our fear. We fear that you are not enough for us. We fear that we really do not have all things Christ Jesus. We fear that we must fight for ourselves in this broken world. We fear that you do not truly love us. Merciful Lord, forgive us; show mercy to us; love us all for sake of Jesus Christ. Amen!
AND WE ARE GIVEN A WORD OF ASSURANCE *Words of Assurance based upon 2 Corinthians 8:9 & 1 Corinthians 3:21 You know grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though he was rich, yet for our sake he became poor, so that we by his poverty we might become rich in him. All things are now yours in Christ Jesus including forgiveness of all your sins through him. Yes and amen! *Song of Assurance When I Survey Wondrous Cross Isaac Watts, 1707 Gregorian Chant

WE RECEIVE THE GOOD NEWS FROM GOD S WORD *Scripture Readings Kelly Swets New Testament Reading 2 Corinthians 9:8-12 Sermon Passage & Old Testament Reading Nehemiah 5:14-19 This is Word of Lord. Thanks be to God Sermon Rev. Jamie MacGregor The Overflow of Generosity Nehemiah 5:14-19 (page 401 in pew Bibles) 14 Moreover, from time that I was appointed to be ir governor in land of Judah, from twentieth year to thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king, twelve years, neir I nor my brors ate food allowance of governor. 15 The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on people and took from m for ir daily ration[b] forty shekels of silver. Even ir servants lorded it over people. But I did not do so, because of
fear of God. 16 I also persevered in work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gared re for work. 17 Moreover, re were at my table 150 men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from nations that were around us. 18 Now what was prepared at my expense for each day was one ox and six choice sheep and birds, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand food allowance of governor, because service was too heavy on this people. 19 Remember for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people. WE RESPOND IN THE PARTICIPATION OF THE LORD S SUPPER Instructions for Supper: This Sunday, we as body of Christ, celebrate Lord s Supper by coming forward to receive elements.* Please come forward, starting with front rows, down center aisle and return to your seats by outside aisles. Once all have received elements, we will partake toger as one body. We use white grape juice and red wine. The bread is gluten free. For those not partaking: We are so glad you are here to worship with us this morning! If you are not ready at this time to participate in meal we invite you to still come forward if you d like, but not take elements. Take some time to consider claims of Christ by reading John 3 on pages 887-888 in red pew bibles.

Giving of Tis and Offerings A giving box is available in back of sanctuary to give to Cornerstone Church and her mission having been renewed by Gospel to serve one anor and to love Waukesha County. Giving is an act of worship, just like singing or praying, because when we give, we are recognizing that all we have is a gift from God. Returning a portion of that gift is both an act of obedience and dependence, and we are called to do so joyfully. Feel free to put your offering in giving box before or after service near back of sanctuary. All scripture quotations generally are taken from English Standard Version (ESV).
