 Worship of God

February 21, 2010

11:00 am

 

And you shall not swear by name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God:  I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19: 12

 

The Prelude                                                                                                     Bethany Braun

 

The Chiming of the Hour

 

The Call to Worship                                Here is Water, Lord

The Greeting and the Lord’s Prayer                                                                 Jeff Atkinson                                                      

 

The Opening Hymn # 301                                                                           I am Resolved

 

The Scripture Lesson                                 Matthew 5:33-37                       Wayne Sprouse                                                                                                                                                       

 

Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ 

But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

 

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,” and your ‘No’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

This is the gospel of the Lord

Thanks be to  God
