Put to death what is earthly in you

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love...  —Ephesians 4:1-2

“Speak, O Lord”

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You

to receive the food of Your Holy Word.

Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;

shape and fashion us in Your likeness;

That the light of Christ may be seen today

in our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us

all Your purposes for Your glory.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,

holy reverence, true humility;

test our thoughts and our attitudes

in the radiance of Your purity.

Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see

Your majestic love and authority.

Words of pow’r that can never fail;

let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;

help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us:

Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

that will echo down through eternity.

And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises,

and by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us.

Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built

and the earth is filled with Your glory.”

 Call to Worship*                                                 Revelation 5:9-10

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”

Confession of Faith                                   1 Corinthians 11:23-26

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Preparation for Confession of Sin          1 Corinthians 11:27-30

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.
