Greatness in Service Celebration introduction:
If we are able to comprehend the servant’s faithfulness, and that of our Lord Jesus who chooses to bear our sins, we will be living Isaiah 53.
Make the best of all your days on earth. Our salvation gifted by Jesus Christ yields us a bountiful existence within eternity.
Mortals of all kinds do succumb to sin from time to time, even the high priests. Jesus does not succumb to sin. Although He is extremely passionate in His pursuit of His obedience to His Father’s wishes, He does not err, Jesus displays perfection in behavior. This perfection is something we should seek to emulate.
Gospel
James and John follow Jesus’ revealing statement in a manner that demonstrates how little they have learned for the time they followed Jesus. James and John fail to acknowledge Jesus’ anticipation of suffering and death; instead they imagine a regal scene where they sit in positions of honor and power at King Jesus’ right and left. Sometimes we may say, “I wish I could be more like Jesus!” Is this really our wish? If we want this wish to come true, we must give our lives in service to others.

Scripture:
Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death. Isaiah 53:12.
Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. Ps. 91:14.
Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you.” Heb. 5:5.
Whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant. Mark 10:43.

Be Thou My Vision
Dalian Forgaill
– performed by Irish Tenors

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Psalm 91 Song – Sons of Korah

Prayer:
Eternal One, whose thoughts and ways are not ours,
you alone are God, awesome, holy, and most high.
School us in the ways of faith and wisdom,
that we may learn to truly see and hear,
and in humility find blessing. Amen.

10.000 Reasons Bless the Lord O my soul
Matt Redman

Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes.

Prayer:
Friends in Christ,
God invites us to hold the needs of our sisters and brothers
as dear to us as our own needs.
Loving our neighbors as ourselves,
we offer our thanksgivings and our petitions
on behalf of the church and the world.
Hear our prayers, God of power,
and through the ministry of your Son
free us from the grip of the tomb,
that we may desire you as the fullness of life
and proclaim your saving deeds to all the world. Amen.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
Edward Mote 1834.
Cornerstone
– performed by Hillsong

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name.

Most High,
your Anointed One offered himself freely
as witness against our sin.
As you delighted to call him your Son,
give us the courage to bring you equal delight
by our willingness to drink the cup of sacrifice
on behalf or our sisters and brothers,
and, with them, offer you praise unceasing
and lives transformed
as true heirs of your grace-filled realm. Amen

We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.
