The Worship of God

September 5, 2010

11:00 am

The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

 

Prelude                                                                                                           Bethany Braun

The Chiming of the Hour

 

The Opening Sentence

And let us consider one another in order

to stir up love and good works, not for-

saking the assembling of our selves together

as is the manner of some, but exhorting

one another, and so much more as you see

the Day approaching.

                                  Hebrews 10: 24-25

 

The Greeting and the Lord’s Prayer                                                              Harvey Wilson                   

 

*The Opening Hymn #  208                                         Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

                                   

The Scripture Lesson                              James 1: 22-26

 

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says.  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 

 

But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it – he will be blessed in what he does.

 

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.

 

This is the Word of God for the people of God.

Thanks be to God
