All Saints Matthew 5:1-12

 Blessed are we

Blessed in the midst of God’s love

Blessed in the midst of our world

Blessed in what we feel         

                        See

                                    Do

            Blessed

Even in the times we find it hard

To see

            The blessing

Even then

We can know ourselves

As the children of God

Especially then

We can know

            See

                        Feel

God’s presence in our lives

            Blessed

God’s love in our lives

Given by the One

Who came to save

Blessed are you

In the name of Christ

Opening Litany based on Psalm 3

Worship Leader: I will exult the Lord at all times in my life.  The Praise of the Lord will be forever on my lips. 

Congregation: We too will glory in the Lord.  Let all who are afflicted hear the good news of the Lord and rejoice with us as we exult the name of the Lord together. 

Worship Leader: In my time of need, when I sought after the Lord, the Lord answered me and delivered me from all my fears.  The Lord will do the same for you!

Congregation: Those who dwell in the presence of the Lord… their faces are radiant and never covered with shame.

Worship Leader: The ones that the world rejects who call upon the name of the Lord.. the Lord will be with them and help them in the midst of their troubles.

Congregation: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who live in awe of the Lord and the Lord delivers them from all the woes and cares of this world. 

Worship Leader: As we gather around the table of the Lord this day, taste and see that the LORD is good and blessed is the one who takes refuge in the Lord. 

Congregation: As the Holy people of God, we will live in awe of the wonders of the Lord, for those who live this way lack nothing of importance in this life. 

Worship Leader: the strong and mighty may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.  So come my children, listen, and learn to live in awe of the wonders of the Lord.  Whoever loves the Lord, and desires to live in the blessings of the Lord, keep your tongue from evil, your lips from telling lies, turn from evil and seek peace in this world. 

Congregation: For the Lord looks upon the righteous and hears the cries of their hearts, but the God of Grace turns a deaf ear to those who seek evil.  

Worship Leader: The righteous cry and the Lord hears them, the brokenhearted and those for whom the world has crushed their spirit wail and the Lord delivers them from their troubles. 

Congregation:   The righteous may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers them and protects them from being broken.  

Worship Leader: Evil will slay the wicked and the foes of the righteous will be condemned but the Lord will rescue those who love the Lord.

Congregation: All who take refuge in the Lord will live surrounded by the greatness of God’s grace.

Reformation Sunday John 8:31-36

 It is not a matter of belonging

not a matter of doing

or doing better

Christ has come into this world

and saved us

and called us to be

the children of God

not to be saved

but

because we are

God has loved us

Christ has saved us

we are now called to run

and enjoy

and be

the children of God.

That’s Grace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psalm 46

Worship Leader: It is God who is our refuge and strength and our ever-present help in times of trouble, therefore we will not live in fear.  For even though the earth may give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, even if the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging, we will not fear. Our God is with us, our refuge and strength is ever-present with us. 

Congregation: In Revelation there is a river whose streams bring life and joy to the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. God is within this Holy City, this dwelling place of God with us, and she will not fall. 

Worship Leader: God brings help to us at the break of each new day and though nations may be in uproar and kingdoms may fall God is still with us and ruler of all. 

Congregation: The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.  Come one and all and see what the LORD has done in our lives and in the lives of all the people of the earth. 

Worship Leader: The Lord brings wars to an end.  The Lord breaks the bow and shatters the spear destroying all the instruments of war, and then says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Congregation: We will exalt the Lord our God among all the nations of the earth, for the LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our strength.

Matthew 22:15-22

 What is this

In God we trust? Stuff

As if

We really trust in god

My party yes

The army yes

As long as they don’t question me

The people, yes

As long as they vote the right way

But

In god

We trust

The next thing we know

God

Will be asking us to love

Loving God I understand

Getting all gushy inside

Letting the high waft over me during worship

Getting excited as hating the sin

And loving the sinner

Under the condition of the sinner giving up

Sinful ways

And seeing the world as I do

Because I am Right

But loving others as ourselves

That only work when they

Become

Like

ME

The perfect example of god’s perfection

By my standards

In this world

In God we trust?

Only on the coin my friend

Only on the coin

Forget it man

No way

I mean

That would mean change

Not just who is in charge

But how we do things

We would be forced to face

Honesty

Integrity

No way will that work

No way will in God we trust work

In this world

In What god do we trust?

Self?

Time?

Talent?

Self preservation?

What god do we trust in?

Give me the coin

Oh

I see

In God we trust

In GOD

We are asked to

Set the priorities

In our life

Set the priorities

That will guide us

And live

In God

Trusting

In that God we claim to trust

 

Psalm 96:1-13

Matthew 22:1-14 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet

This gift of life

So busy

I have to slop the hog

Walk the dog

Wash the car

And drive very far

So busy

With this life you have given me

I just don’t have time

To live it

There is church work to do

Have to bring others into

My

Fold

I don’t have time

But thank you very much

Some other time perhaps

But who are all these people sitting in my pew

And how did they get in

And the music is different

Pot luck food not the same

I don’t know why you made life so hard Lord

Too much to do

I have to get ahead if I am to enjoy

This gift

Of life

 

 

Psalm 23

 Worship Leader: There are times when we need some guidance in our lives.  Without the voice of God, we can easily become lost. 

Congregation: The LORD is our shepherd, we shall not be in want for the Lord makes us lie down in green pastures, and leads me beside quiet waters. The Lord restores my soul and guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 

Worship Leader: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me; The Lord’s guidance comforts me.

Congregation: For the Lord prepares a table before us in the presence of those who would harm us. The Lord provides us with all we need and our cup of blessing overflows. 

Worship Leader: Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of my lives,

Congregation: And we will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
