Teaching Series: THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM

Id Like to Have a Word With You O Word of God Incarnate (Please note different tune from one printed.)

HYMN TO JOY Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (1st Graders leave for Worship Education during last stanza.)

*LITANY OF ASSURANCE
We confess, O God, that our best-laid plans and well-intended advice fall short; But your every word proves true. When we make a mess of life with hasty, unkind words or rash, inconsiderate acts, Your every word proves true. When we are weary and carry heavy burdens, when our strength is at its end, Your every word proves true. When we lose our way and our next step is the most difficult to take, Your every word proves true. When we are held captive by old conflicts and the root of bitterness controls our hearts, Your every word proves true. When our fears stifle creativity and we cling to old practices that bear no fruit, Your every word proves true. When we need to hold our tongues and strain to listen for your voice, You speak to us and your every word proves true. Amen.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (from Belonging to God: First Catechism) Q. 37 How do we know the good news? A. Through reading the Bible and hearing it taught and preached. The Holy Spirit inspired those who wrote the Bible and helps us rely on its promises today.
