CALL TO WORSHIP:  (Psalm 57) 
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth! 
   We will praise You, we will sing and make music to You, O God. 
We come today taking refuge in the shadow of Your wings. 
Great is Your love!  It reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness    reaches to the skies! 
Be exalted, O God! Heaven and earth sing Your praises and we will too as we come to worship. ​
*Hymn  “Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty” # 35  
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 
Heavenly Father, You have called us to a great hope and purpose.  You  
have invited us to abide in You in every season.  However, we allow 
distractions to drag us away from Your presence.  Instead of turning to  
You, we indulge our worries, frustrations, and disappointments.  Forgive us when we seek shelter in our own comfort and control.  Teach us again to trust You, O God, our Protector and Provider.  In Jesus’ name we pray. 
AMEN

Our guest speaker this week is Rev. Renny Domske.

Our video recorder was a little late today, so the beginning of the announcements did not get recorded.
Gathering  Around  the  Word
 
Prelude                     Music Director               Robert Senay
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
 CALL TO WORSHIP               from Psalm 11
In the Lord I take refuge.
How can you say to me: “Flee away like a bird.”
      The wicked set their arrows against the strings to shoot
      from the shadows at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous man or woman do?
      The Lord is in His holy temple, on His heavenly throne.
      The Lord observes the sons of men and examines them.
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence His soul hates.
      For the Lord is righteous and loves justice; how joyful
      that upright men and women will see His face!
                   
INVOCATION                                                              Dr. Domske

INTROIT: Hymn: “His Name is Wonderful”

CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 25) Lord, make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth, and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long. Be mindful of Your mercy, O Lord, and of Your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O Lord! Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.

1 Peter 3:8-18 
Suffering for Doing Good
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For,
“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a]
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats[b]; do not be frightened.”[c] 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

​Footnotes:
  1. 1 Peter 3:12 Psalm 34:12-16
  2. 1 Peter 3:14 Or fear what they fear
  3. 1 Peter 3:14 Isaiah 8:12

Something to Think About

1 Peter 1:13-21 
Be Holy
13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a]
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
