Morning Worship

Hymns

1. Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in endless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing,

Always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself and I will be

Ever, only, all for Thee.

Take My Life

1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch; like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed!

3. The Lord hath promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

4. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we first begun.

Amazing Grace

1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!

What more can He say than to you He hath said—

To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2. Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed,

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.

3. “When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless,

And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;

The flame shall not harm thee; I only design

Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

5. The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,

I will not, I will not, desert to his foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.

How Firm a

Foundation

1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will, He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

Refrain

3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay;

Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,

But is blessed if we trust and obey.

Refrain

4. But we never can prove the delights of His love

Until all on the altar we lay;

For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Refrain

5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.

What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Refrain

Trust and Obey

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning

our song shall rise to thee.

Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,

God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,

Casting down their golden crowns

around the glassy sea;

Cherubim and seraphim

falling down before thee,

Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3. Holy, holy, holy!

Though the darkness hide thee,

Though the eye of sinful man

thy glory may not see,

Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,

Perfect in power, in love and purity.

4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All thy works shall praise thy name,

in earth and sky and sea.

Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,

God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

Holy, Holy, Holy

1. A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:

For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;

His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,

On earth is not his equal.

2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;

Lord Sabaoth, His name, from age to age the same,

And He must win the battle.

3. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,

We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:

The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;

His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,

One little word shall fell him.

4. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth:

Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;

The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,

His kingdom is forever.

A Mighty Fortress

be one.

This is My Father’s World

This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;

His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.

This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;

He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:

Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,

And earth and Heav’n be one.

Be Thou

My Vision

1. Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art -

Thou my best thought, by day or by night;

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

2. Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord.

Thou my great Father; I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.

3. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;

Thou mine inheritance, now and always;

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,

High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art.

4. High King of Heaven, my victory won,

May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

O’ For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

1. Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing,

My great Redeemer's praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

2. My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad,

The honors of Thy name.

3. Jesus, the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease,

'Tis music in the sinner's ears,

'Tis life and health and peace.

4. He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the prisoners free,

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

5. He speaks and listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive,

The mournful broken hearts rejoice,

The humble poor believe.

6. Glory to God and praise and love,

Be ever, ever given,

By saints below and saints above,

The church in earth and heaven.

Great Is Thy

Faithfulness

1. Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father,

There is no shadow of turning with Thee.

Thou changest not, They compassions they fail not.

As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.

Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.

Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and springtime, and harvest.

Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above.

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide.

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.

Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside.

Refrain

1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made.

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder.

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee.

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee.

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

2. And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

Refrain

3. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation.

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration,

And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

Refrain

How Great

Thou Art

In Christ alone my hope is found.

He is my light, my strength, my song.

This cornerstone, this solid ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My comforter, my all in all—

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied.

For every sin on Him was laid—

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

Up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.

For I am His and He is mine—

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—

This is the power of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home—

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

In Christ Alone

Scripture Memory Passages

1:1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ

Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus

at Philippi, together with the

overseers and deacons:

1:2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3 I thank my God every time I remember you.

1:4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy

1:5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

1:7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.

1:8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

1:9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

1:10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

1:11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

1:13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

1:14 Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

1:15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

1:16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.

1:17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

Philippians 1

1:19 for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.

1:20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

1:22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

1:23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far,

1:24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

1:25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

1:26 so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.

1:27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel

1:28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

1:29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,

1:30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 1

1 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:1-11

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits—

3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,

5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever.

10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.

14 For he knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass. He flourishes like a flower of the field.

16 The wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children—

18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

19 The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

21 Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

22 Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Psalm 103

23

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a

decree that a census should be taken of

the entire Roman world.

2 (This was the first census that took

place while Quirinius was governor of

Syria.)

3 And everyone went to his own town to

register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were shepherds living out in

the fields nearby, keeping watch over

their flocks at night.

9 An angel of the Lord appeared to

them, and the glory of the Lord shone

around them, and they were terrified.

10 But the angel said to them, “Do not

be afraid. I bring you good news of

great joy that will be for all the people.

11 Today in the town of David a Savior

has been born to you; he is Christ the

Lord.

12 This will be a sign to you: You will

find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying

in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:1-20

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down

in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil. For you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

*ESV

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down

in green pastures.

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil. For you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23

1. And God spoke all these words:

2. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3. You shall have no other gods before me.

4. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

6 . but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

9. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.

11. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

13. You shall not murder.

14. You shall not commit adultery.

15. You shall not steal.

16. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 . You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Exodus 20:1-17

1-3

I will bless the LORD at all times.

His praise shall continually be

in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the LORD.

Let the humble hear and be glad.

Oh, magnify the LORD with me

and let us exalt his name together!

4-6 I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.

7-9 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack!

10-12 The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Come, O children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is there

who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?

13-15 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. 16-`18 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

19-22 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones. Not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems the life of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

*ESV

Psalm 34

1-3 I will extol the LORD at all times.

His praise will always be on my lips.

My soul will boast in the LORD.

Let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Glorify the LORD with me.

Let us exalt his name together.

4-6

I sought the LORD, and he answered me.

He delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant.

Their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the LORD heard

Him. He saved him out of all his troubles.

7-9

The angel of the LORD encamps around

those who fear him, and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the LORD is good.

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Fear the LORD, you his saints,

for those who fear him lack nothing.

10-12

The lions may grow weak and hungry,

but those who seek the LORD

lack no good thing.

Come, my children, listen to me.

I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Whoever of you loves life and desires to

see many good days,

13-15

keep your tongue from evil

and your lips from speaking lies.

Turn from evil and do good.

Seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous

and his ears are attentive to their cry.

16-18

The face of the LORD is against those who

do evil, to cut off the memory of them

from the earth. The righteous cry out,

and the LORD hears them.

He delivers them from all their troubles.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19-22

A righteous man may have many troubles,

but the LORD delivers him from them all.

He protects all his bones,

not one of them will be broken.

Evil will slay the wicked.

The foes of the righteous

will be condemned.

The LORD redeems his servants.

No one will be condemned who takes

refuge in him.

Psalm 34

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and

the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms

with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he

chose us in him before the creation of the world to

be holy and blameless in his sight.

In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his

sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his

pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious

grace, which he has freely given us in the One he

loves.

7 In him we have redemption through his blood,

the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the

riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us with

all wisdom and understanding.

9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will

according to his good pleasure, which he purposed

in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will

have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things

in heaven and on earth together under one head,

even Christ.

11 In him we were also chosen, having been

predestined according to the plan of him who

works out everything in conformity with the

purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were

the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of

his glory.

13 And you also were included in Christ when you

heard the word of truth, the gospel of your

salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him

with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a

deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the

redemption of those who are God’s possession—to

the praise of his glory.

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your

faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the

saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you,

remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious

Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and

revelation, so that you may know him better.

18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be

enlightened in order that you may know the hope

to which he has called you, the riches of his

glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his

incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is like the working of his mighty

strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he

raised him from the dead and seated him at his

right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all

rule and authority, power and dominion, and every

title that can be given, not only in the present age

but also in the one to come.

22 And God placed all things under his feet and

appointed him to be head over everything for the

church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him

who fills everything in every way.

Ephesians 1

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions

and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you

followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of

the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at

work in those who are disobedient.

3 All of us also lived among them at one time,

gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and

following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we

were by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of

his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were

dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have

been saved.

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us

with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in

order that in the coming ages he might show the

incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his

kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through

faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of

God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ

Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in

advance for us to do.

11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are

Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by

those who call themselves “the circumcision” (that

done in the body by the hands of men)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate

from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and

foreigners to the covenants of the promise,

without hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far

away have been brought near through the blood of

Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has

made the two one and has destroyed the barrier,

the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his

flesh the law with its commandments and

regulations.

His purpose was to create in himself one new man

out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this

one body to reconcile both of them to God through

the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

17 He came and preached peace to you who were

far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For

through him we both have access to the Father by

one Spirit.

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and

aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and

members of God’s household, 20 built on the

foundation of the apostles and prophets, with

Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

21 In him the whole building is joined together and

rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in

him you too are being built together to become a

dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians 2

4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

4:18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

4:19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.

4:20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.

4:21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

4:22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

4:26 “In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

4:28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.

4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children

5:2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Ephesians 4:17-5:2

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him

nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him

was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The

light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has

not understood it.

6 There came a man who was sent from God; his

name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify

concerning that light, so that through him all men

might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he

came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light

that gives light to every man was coming into the

world.

10 He was in the world, and though the world was

made through him, the world did not recognize

him.

11 He came to that which was his own, but his

own did not receive him.

12 Yet to all who received him, to those who

believed in his name, he gave the right to become

children of God— 13 children born not of natural

descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will,

but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling

among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the

One and Only, who came from the Father, full of

grace and truth.

15 John testifies concerning him. He cries out,

saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who

comes after me has surpassed me because he was

before me.'”

16 From the fullness of his grace we have all

received one blessing after another. 17 For the

law was given through Moses; grace and truth

came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever

seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the

Father's side, has made him known.

John 1:1-18

10. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty

power.

11. Put on the full armor of God so that you can

take your stand against the devil's schemes.

12. For our struggle is not against flesh and

blood, but against the rulers, against the

authorities, against the powers of this dark

world and against the spiritual forces of evil in

the heavenly realms.

13. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so

that when the day of evil comes, you may be

able to stand your ground, and after you have

done everything, to stand.

14. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth

buckled around your waist, with the

breastplate of righteousness in place,

15. and with your feet fitted with the readiness

that comes from the gospel of peace.

16. In addition to all this, take up the shield of

faith, with which you can extinguish all the

flaming arrows of the evil one.

17. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of

the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all

kinds of prayers and requests. With this in

mind, be alert and always keep on praying for

all the saints.

19. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my

mouth, words may be given me so that I will

fearlessly make known the mystery of the

gospel,

20. for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray

that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Ephesians 6:10-20

\\\

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come, your will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 Forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one for yours is the kingdom and the

power and the glory forever. Amen.
