God is good

All the time!

All the time

God is good! 

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” (Acts 2:1–4, NIV)

The Word of the Lord

-Unison Confession:

O God, our God,

Send out your light and your truth.

Let them lead us.

Let them bring us into your presence.

Reveal Christ in our midst,

that we would sense his leading,

that we would listen to his Word,

that we would recognize his call.

Anoint us with your Holy Spirit,

that we would sense the truth.

Forgive us our sins, through Jesus Christ,

the Way, the Truth, and the Life,

to whom belongs all glory.

Together with you, O Father, and the Holy Spirit,

One God forever.  Amen.

-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:

Hear the word of God from Paul’s letter to the Roman Church:

“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory.” (Romans 8:15–17, NLT)

In Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!

Christ, Our Hope in Life and Death

How many are your works, Lord! 

In wisdom you made them all; 

the earth is full of your creatures. 

There is the sea, vast and spacious, 

teeming with creatures beyond number— 

living things both large and small. 

There the ships go to and fro, 

and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. 

All creatures look to you 

to give them their food at the proper time. 

When you give it to them, 

they gather it up; 

when you open your hand, 

they are satisfied with good things. 

When you hide your face, 

they are terrified; 

when you take away their breath, 

they die and return to the dust. 

When you send your Spirit, 

they are created, 

and you renew the face of the ground. 

May the glory of the Lord endure forever; 

may the Lord rejoice in his works— 

he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, 

who touches the mountains, and they smoke. 

I will sing to the Lord all my life; 

I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 

May my meditation be pleasing to him, 

as I rejoice in the Lord. 

…Praise the Lord, my soul. 

Praise the Lord.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, 

and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
