Welcome Mission Opportunities and Sharing of the Peace

*Invocation, Confession and Forgiveness Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, who stretches out the heavens, who sends light to the nations, who gives breath to us all. Amen.

Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.

Silence for reflection and self-examination.

Loving God, we confess that we have turned from your way to follow our own ways. Forgive us for the times we have spoken or acted too quickly; we have not spoken or acted at all; we have hurt those closest to us; we have hurt those we have yet to know; we have thought more about ourselves than others; we have thought less of ourselves than we ought. Turn us around, and give us a fresh start, so that we can live again as your children. Amen.

Even when we have done wrong, God makes us right. Even when we have messed up, God puts us together. God’s love never runs out. God never tires of calling us beloved children. Hear God

say to you now: Your sins are forgiven, for the sake of ☩ Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

*Opening Song “Here I am to Worship” Light of the world You stepped down into darkness Opened my eyes let me see Beauty that made This heart adore You Hope of a life spent with You

(Chorus) So here I am to worship Here I am to bow down Here I am to say that You're my God And You're altogether lovely Altogether worthy Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above Humbly You came To the earth You created All for love's sake became poor (Chorus)

And I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross And I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross (Chorus)

Here I am to worship CCLI Song #3266032 © 2000 Thankyou Music Tim Hughes All rights Reserved. CCLI License #631100

*Prayer of the Day Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ, most merciful redeemer, for the countless blessings and benefits you give. May we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day praising you, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Lesson Ephesians 4:25-32 25So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. 26Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not make room for the devil. 28Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, 32and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

Psalm Psalm 137:1-6 1By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept,

when we remembered you, O Zion. 2As for our harps, we hung them up

on the trees in the midst of that land. 3For those who led us away captive asked us for a song, and our oppressors called for mirth:

“Sing us one of the songs of Zion.” 4How shall we sing the LORD’s song

upon an alien soil? 5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,

let my right hand forget its skill. 6Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you,

if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy.

Children’s Church with Colleen Hestad in the Chapel

*Gospel Mark 3:1-6 1Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. 2They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come forward." 4Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. 5He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

This is the Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Sermon The Angry Side of Jesus Pastor Dan Ofstehage

Song “Mighty to Save”

Everyone needs compassion Love that's never failing Let mercy fall on me Everyone needs forgiveness The kindness of a Savior The hope of nations

(Chorus) Savior He can move the mountains My God is mighty to save He is mighty to save Forever Author of salvation He rose and conquered the grave Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me All my fears and failures Fill my life again I give my life to follow Everything I believe in Now I surrender (Chorus)

(Bridge) Shine your light And let the whole world see We're singing for the glory Of the risen King Jesus Shine your light And let the whole world see We're singing for the glory Of the risen King (Chorus) CCLI Song # 4591782 Ben Fielding | Reuben Morgan © 2006 Hillsong Music Publishing (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing) For use solely with the SongSelect Terms of Use.

Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

*Sending Song “Go Tell It on the Mountain”

(Chorus) Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev'rywhere; Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!

While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night, Behold, throughout the heavens there shone a holy light. (Chorus)

The shepherds feared and trembled when, lo, above the earth Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior's birth. (Chorus)

Down in a lonely manger the humble Christ was born; And God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. (Chorus) Public Domain

*Call to Service Pastor: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord! People: Thanks be to God!
