Serve First Welcome Children Blessed Wife Celebration introduction:
Fear and Faith
What is the best way to describe faith? How does this differ from fear, and what do we mean by “fear” anyway?
Honor and Shame
The Lord in His World sees the concepts of honor and shame differently than those of us rooted in the material worlds around us. How do we reckon the two, ideal and real?
Mom and Wife “on Steroids.”
What character traits make the important woman in our lives so essential?
The key to greatness is to have a servant’s heart. Let us have a heart like Jesus.

Scripture:
Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all. Mark 9:35.
Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me. Mark 9:37.
A capable wife is far more precious than jewels. Prov. 31:10.

One Friend
Dan Seals

I always thought you were the best,
I guess I always will.
I always felt that we were blessed,
And I feel that way still.
Sometimes we took the hard road,
But we always saw it through.
If I had only one friend left,
I’d want it to be you.

Prayer:
God, Wisdom of the universe,
you bear the pain of your people.
Grant us the gift of wisdom,
that we may discern your way
and live justly and graciously
amid the struggles of this world. Amen.

As the Deer
Christopher Warren

As the deer pants for the water,
So my soul longs after you.
You alone are my heart’s desire,
And I long to worship you.
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To you alone will my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
And I long to worship you.

Prayer:
Redeeming Sustainer,
visit your people
and pour out your strength and courage upon us,
that we may hurry to make you welcome
not only in our concern for others,
but by serving them
generously and faithfully in your name. Amen.

Blessed Is He. Psalm 1
Kim Hill

Prayer:
God of unsearchable mystery and light,
your weakness is greater than our strength,
your foolishness brings all our cleverness to naught,
your gentleness confounds the power we would claim.
You call first to be last and last to be first,
servant to be leader and ruler to be underling of all.
Pour into our hearts the wisdom of your Word and Spirit,
that we may know your purpose and live to your glory. Amen.

Heavens Gonna Shine
Albert Brumley
– performed by Harding Concert Choir practice

Heavens Gonna Shine
I don’t know exactly how sweet heaven will be (will be) I don’t know what beauty or what glory I’ll see (I’ll see) I don’t know what I’ll behold that morning divine (I only) I know for sure that heaven’s really gonna shine It’s gonna shine.

Prayer:
O God, our teacher and guide,
you draw us to yourself
and welcome us a beloved children.
Help us to lay aside our envy and selfish ambition,
that we may walk in your ways of wisdom and understanding
as servant of your peace. Amen.

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