Blessed before the Lord
when we act on faith
when we do the Master’s will
humbly going out into the world,
sharing His love for us
while we live.
Offering mercy to the stranger
help for those in need
modeling our Savior’s life;
going to the ends of the earth
to spread His love
doing the Master’s will
while we live.

Blessed When We Act
Matthew 5:1-12 (Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes)
Ephesians 2:14-18
Philippians 1:3-5, 9-11 (Call to Worship)
Prayer of Confession
“Loving God, hold not our sins against us; but
hold us up against our sins; so that in you
we are
reminded, not of our sin, but of your
forgiveness,
not just of what we are but what we might
become.”
-
based on prayer four, “Hold Us Up Against Our
Sins”,
The Prayers of Soren Kierkegaard,
“Father in
Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but
hold us up
against our sins so that the thought of You
when it
wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens,
should not
remind us of what we have committed but
of what You
did forgive, not of how we went astray
but of how
You did save us!”
