PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | 1 PETER 2:13-25 (ESV)

Submission to Authority

13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

SERMON | REV. T. WILLS

Title: “Submission in Light of Eternity: 'This is the Way'"

TITHES + OFFERINGS*

“Clear The Stage”

Clear the stage

And set the sound and lights ablaze

If that's the measure you must take

To crush the idols

Jerk the pews And all the decorations too

Until the congregation's few

Then have revival

Tell your friends

That this is where the party ends

Until you're broken for your sins

You can't be social

Then seek the Lord

And wait for what He has in store

And know that great is your reward

So just be hopeful

Chorus

'Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get It wrong

Worship is more than a song

Verse 2

Take a break

From all the plans that you have made

And sit at home alone

And wait for God to whisper

Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak

And pray for real

Upon your knees until they blister

Shine the light On ev'ry corner of your life

Until the pride and lust

And lies are in the open

Read the Word

And put to test the things you've heard

Until your heart and soul

Are stirred and rocked and broken

Chorus:

(Bridge)

We must not worship

Something that's not even worth it

Clear the stage Make some space

For the One who deserves it

Anything I put before my God is an idol

Anything I want with all my heart is an idol

Anything I can't stop thinking of is an idol

Anything that I give all my love is an idol

Chorus:

COMMUNION

“Doxology”

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise Him above ye heavenly host

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Amen Amen Amen Amen
