Welcome Dan Smith

Call to Worship: Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens… When we look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of him, and the sons and daughters of mankind that you care for them? Yet you have made them a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned them with glory and honor. You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under our feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Prayer of Confession  Mike Stephan

Unison: Father, we come before You, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, Who delights to dwell with the broken and contrite, to confess— that we have sinned in thought and word and deed; that we have not loved You with all our heart and soul, that we have not loved You with all our mind and strength; that we have not even loved our neighbor as ourselves. Forgive what we have been, change what we are, and by Your mercy direct what we are becoming; so that we may hereafter walk in the way of Your commands, and live to worship You. Renew us and change us, O Lord, for Jesus’ sake we pray. Amen.

Silent Confession and Thankfulness

Good News: Romans 8:31-34

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
