Holy Spirit
Torwalt
There’s nothing worth more
That will ever come close
No thing can compare

I’ve tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
In Your Presence Lord

Litany Seeing & Believing God’s Glory & Grace
BASED ON PSALM 96
Today, the Holy Spirit is so welcome here, we believe and see God is giving His all in glory and grace, so we give thanks, and we worship in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit.
Amen. O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord all the earth. Let us sing to the Lord and bless his name. Let us tell of his salvation and of all his marvelous works.
People of God: All gods of the people are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Let us take a moment of silence to confess our sins and those times we have failed to give thanks to God for all his glory and grace.
(silence for reflection)
Friends in Christ: Thanks be to God, we have come again to our Creator; shared our sins, our shortfalls, our stumblings, our struggles. Once again, we are raised anew to believe and to see God gives us His all in the grace of these words: Jesus saves; Jesus forgives you all your sins. Great is the Lord! Give thanks; be still; the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here!
Song Anew In Grace
Be Still
Evans
vs. 1
Be still for the presence of the Lord
The Holy One is here
Come bow before Him now
With reverence and fear
In Him no sin is found
We stand on holy ground
Be still for the presence of the Lord
The Holy One is here
Let us follow the Lord, for the Lord is our strength and glory. Let us worship the Lord in holy splendor before all the earth, for all good gifts are sent from heaven above!
Friends in Christ: The Lord is King! He established the world, it shall never be moved. Let us hold fast, and be still, as we believe and see, God is giving His all, in glory and grace; for the power of the Lord is moving in this and every place!
Song Anew In Grace
Be Still
Evans
vs. 3
Be still for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place
He comes to cleanse and heal
To minister His grace
No work too hard for Him
In faith receive from Him
Be still for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place
Loving God, you and your glory and grace come to us every day. Stir us up to believe and to see you give us your all; you alone are Creator, Provider, Savior; you are faithfully, all things to all people; you alone do all the giving. By your Spirit, we give you alone all thanks and praise, for all good gifts are sent from heaven above. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Faith Quest Sunday School does not meet today.
The Old Testament
1 Kings 17:8–16
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, saying, “Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks, he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.” As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” But she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.” She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
(New Revised Standard Version)
The New Testament
HEBREWS 9:24–28
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
(New Revised Standard Version)
Song of Thanks & Praise
Come, You Thankful People, Come
Alford
vs. 1
Come you thankful people come
Raise the song of harvest home
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin
God our maker does provide
For our wants to be supplied
Come to God’s own temple come
Raise the song of harvest home
vs. 2
All the world is God’s own field
Fruit unto his praise to yield
Wheat and tares together sown
Unto joy or sorrow grown
First the blade and then the ear
Then the full corn shall appear
Lord of harvest grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be
vs. 4
Even so Lord quickly come
To your final harvest home
Gather all your people in
Free from sorrow free from sin
There forever purified
In your garner to abide
Come with all your angels come
Raise the glorious harvest home
Gospel
Mark 12:38–44
As Jesus taught, he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplace, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! They devour widows’ houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
(New Revised Standard Version)
Stating Our Faith in God
HEBREWS 11-12:2
God has blessed God’s people with faith from the beginning of time. Long ago witnesses proclaimed all good gifts in Jesus’ glory and grace were sufficient for the Hebrew Christians considering returning to Judaism. Let us share our faith using these same words.
All: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible. ...Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ...Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. Amen.

Every hour I need You
My one defense
My righteousness
Oh God how I need You

Oh God how I need You
My one defense

Oh God how I need You
...as we pray to you, Jesus,
Gracious God, we give you thanks, for your glory and grace.
All these things and whatever else you see we need, grant to us we pray, for into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Holy Communion will take place during our service. If you are not worshipping with us in person but would like to receive Communion, we will be offering Drive Through Communion at our building at 16200 Dodd Lane, Lakeville, Minnesota, following our indoor service. Drive Through Communion will be available between 10:15am & 10:30am.
For those worshiping with us in person, we receive communion through intinction; that is, you will receive the bread, the host, then dip into the glass of choice, either a red wine in the chalice closest to the host, or in a light colored non-alcoholic grape juice. All are welcome.
We also offer gluten free and pre-packaged options. Please take these options before arriving at the host to receive a blessing.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
Forever and ever. Amen.
