the call to worship
Minister: Temptation is a universal threat to Christian commitment. Even Jesus was
tempted to compromise his faith.
People: But Jesus was the Son of God with special powers to resist temptation.
Minister: No more special than the power available to us. We have the same support
based on God’s Word that Jesus had when he was tempted.
People: Here we seek help to put God’s Word in our hearts to strengthen us in times
of temptation.Praise and Thanksgiving

hymn 166
All Praise to Thee, For Thou, O King Divine Sine Nomine
F. Bland Tucker, 1938pr ayer of confession *
Minister: Let us confess our sins to God.
Minister and People: Most merciful God, whose Son Jesus Christ was tempted yet did
not sin, we confess that we have been tempted and we have sinned.
We have hungered after that which does not satisfy; we have
compromised with evil; and we have doubted your power to
protect us. Forgive our lack of faith. Have mercy on our weakness.
Restore in us such love and trust that we may walk in your ways
and delight in doing your will.
Cantor: Let us pray to the Lord.
Choir: Lord, have mercy.
Minister: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. In the name
of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
People: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God. Amen.

I will lift mine eyes Jake Runestad
(b. 1986)
I will lift mine eyes unto the hills; from whence comes my help? My help comes
from the Lord; the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be
moved. He who keeps you will not slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper.
The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not harm you by day
nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your
soul. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this day forth
forever more.
