Our invitation to quiet ourselves to prepare our hearts for worship.

LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES

OUR LIFE TOGETHER
Joys & Concerns / Morning Prayer / The Lord’s Prayer

+ HYMN #1 “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee”

CALL TO WORSHIP
L: Children of God, when we face strife, upset, and harm in our midst, we so often turn
to God and ask:
P: How many times should I forgive?
L: When Jesus answers that we should forgive again and again and again, we are tempted to repeat the question:
P: How many times should I forgive?
L: Until God turns the question around: “How many times have I forgiven you?”
P: Seventy time seven.
L: How many times have I loved you?
P: Seventy times seven.
L: How many times has my grace been sufficient for you?
P: Seventy times seven.
L: Let us learn, then, how to forgive not out of our own power, but out of God’s, who
forgives us that we might be free to learn to live with one another well.

OFFERING INVITATION
As we give, let us do so generously and cheerfully, for God knows both our outward
acts and inward position.

OFFERTORY SONG “Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy” Arr: M Wells

+ DOXOLOGY (On screen)

+ PRAYER OF DEDICATION (together)
Generous God, you have given so much to us in love and joy – every good thing in our life reflects your caring. Even in the giving of our offerings, we have tried our best but know we could do more. In a world where forgiveness has become a rare
commodity, it is often an asset we hold back to maintain power over one another. Help us to hear the teaching of Jesus in the generosity of forgiveness. May we learn to give that to others with extravagance! We pray in Christ’s name, who gave all.
Amen.

BIBLICAL WITNESS Matthew 18:21-35 by Jane Huff
L: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
P: Thanks be to God.

+ HYMN #68 “There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy”

MESSAGE “Forgive…Again…and Again…and Again”
by Pastor Chuck

PRAYER FOR PEACE (together)
O God, the world you have created is torn apart by war and fighting. Revenge and
retaliation move us to hate and even kill. Children bereft of parents go starving in the
streets. Terror and fear threaten to win the day. Please send the peace of your Spirit to permeate our earth. Sooth our anger and turn us away from vengeance. Foster forgiveness in our hearts. Cool the fires of war, and bring estranged people to make
peace. Break the chain of violence and recrimination. Flood this world with your
peace, and fill its creatures with the knowledge of you, O Lord. Amen

A WORD FROM PASTOR CHUCK

What would you think if someone told you that resurrection is happening every day everywhere? Well consider yourself told because it is. Can you see it? Are you expecting it? Is it real for you? If so, what does it look like? Where are you seeing life and more life? Join us this Sunday as we unpack Matthew 16:21-28 and see that every day is the third day.

OUR LIFE TOGETHER
Joys & Concerns / Morning Prayer / The Lord’s Prayer

+ HYMN #102 “There’s Something About That Name”

CALL TO WORSHIP
L: Followers of Christ, God calls us just as we are to live as truth tellers and gospel-bringers in the world.
P: God, we know you call us, and still, we ask, “Who am I that you
would call me?”
L: Like Moses standing before the burning bush convinced of his unworthiness to lead your people out of bo***ge, we ask,
P: “Who am I that you would call me?”
L: Like Peter who thought he got it right only to realize that who Jesus is doesn’t meet his expectations of who a Savior should be, we ask,
P: “Who am I that you would call me?”
L: As we raise this question to God today we open our hearts to receive God’s answer:
P: You are my beloved children. You are my disciples. You are my people called to share the love of God for the transformation of the
world. Amen.

A WORD FROM PASTOR CHUCK
This Sundays Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20, offers us one of the most profound questions in all of Scripture: “Who do you say that I am?”
This is a basic question that I believe all followers of Jesus must answer - and not just once, but at various times in our life: Who do we say that Jesu is? For us, for our world. This question demands an answer not just when life is going well. But when life is falling apart. Join us Sunday to learn more.
