All that You have done to us Lord

and ask the Lord for pardon and strength
Together, we pray…
People: Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against You
in thought, word, and deed
by what we have done
and by what we have left undone
We have not loved You with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ
have mercy on us and forgive us
that we may delight in Your will
and walk in Your ways
to the glory of Your Name
Amen.

Infilling of the Holy Spirit
Please come forward
Celebrant: And suddenly
there came a sound from heaven
like a rushing mighty wind
and it filled all the house
And there appeared tongues of fire
and it sat upon each one of them
And they were ALL filled with the Holy Spirit
For this is that which was spoken
by the prophet Joel
And it SHALL come to pass
in the last days, saith God
that I will pour out of my Spirit
upon all flesh
and your sons and daughters shall phophesy
and your young men shall see visions
and your old men shall dream dreams
And on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pout out in those days, of my Spirit;
and they SHALL prophesy
And it shall come to pass
that whosoever call on the name
of the Lord shall be saved.

Living Hope
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul

Hallelujah praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain

Declared the grave has no claim on me

Lord Have Mercy (Kyrie Eleison)
Jesus, I've forgotten
the words that You have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart
have now grown dim
With a doubting heart
I follow the paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
renew the fire again
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I have built an altar
where I worship things of man
I have taken journeys
that have drawn me far from You
Now I am returning
to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
help me love You again
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I have longed to know You
and Your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness
ever flowing without end
I bow my heart before You
in the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
like a beacon in the night
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me

First Lesson
Lesson
Reader: A reading from the book of Isaiah the 55th chapter
The Compassion of the Lord
People: Glory to You, Lord, God!
Isaiah 55:1-9
NIV"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters;
and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money
and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me; hear me,
that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you
my faithful love promised to David.
See, I have made him a witness to the peoples
a leader and commander of the peoples.
Surely you will summon nations you know not
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you
because of the LORD your God
the Holy One of Israel
for he has endowed you with splendor."
Seek the LORD while he may be found
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts
Let him turn to the LORD
and he will have mercy on him
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts
neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

New Testament Reading

Walk in Love
People: Praise be to the Lord!
Ephesians 5:15-21
NIVBe very careful, then, how you live
not as unwise but as wise
making the most of every opportunity
because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be foolish
but understand what the Lord's will is
Do not get drunk on wine
which leads to debauchery
Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
Speak to one another with psalms
hymns and spiritual songs
Sing and make music
in your heart to the Lord
always giving thanks to God
the Father for everything
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Gospel
Deacon: The Lord be with you
People: And with your spirit
Deacon: The Holy Gospel According to John
Jesus Heals an Officials Son
People: All Glory and praise to You,
Lord Jesus Christ
John 4:46-53
NIVOnce more he visited Cana in Galilee
where he had turned the water into wine
And there was a certain royal official
whose son lay sick at Capernaum
When this man heard that Jesus had arrived
in Galilee from Judea
he went to him and begged him to come
and heal his son, who was close to death.
"Unless you people see
miraculous signs and wonders,"
Jesus told him, "you will never believe."
The royal official said,
"Sir, come down before my child dies."
Jesus replied, "You may go.
Your son will live."
The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
While he was still on the way,
his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.
When he inquired as to the time
when his son got better
they said to him
"The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour."
Then the father realized
that this was the exact time
at which Jesus had said to him,
"Your son will live."
So he and all his household believed.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Together let us pray:
Something good
is going to happen to us each day (Psalm 23:6)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life
We are walking in Christ’s victory and holiness
(2 Corinthians 5:21)
We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
We are one of His sheep and we know his voice
The mercy and grace of God is working in our life (Hebrews 4:16)
We come boldly to the throne of grace
so that we may obtain mercy and find grace
to help in time of need
The blessing of Abraham is working in us daily
(Galatians 3:14)
The blessing of Abraham has come upon us
in Christ Jesus so that we might receive
the promise of the Spirit through faith
We are healed by the stripes on Jesus’ back
(Isaiah 53:5)
He was wounded for our transgressions
He was bruised for our iniquities
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him
And with His stripes, we are healed
All of our prayers are in the process of being answered
(Matthew 21:22)
And all things, whatsoever we shall ask
in prayer believing, we shall receive
We are soul winners and are increasing
in the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
We shall freely receive the gifts and power
of the Holy Spirit each time He seeks us
As the Lord leads
we shall be a witness for Jesus in our homes
our families, our community
and everywhere we go
Let us pray our special intentions....

has sent in the name of Jesus Christ

keeping the teachings of Jesus

not as the world gives, but real peace
that flows out of the Holy Spirit
Let not your heart be troubled
nor let your heart be afraid
