  • Opening Prayer
  • Call To Worship – Philippians 2:5-11 ESV
      • 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
      • 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
      • 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
      • 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
      • 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
      • 10 so 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.
  • Reading – [1 Peter 2:4-8 ESV]
      • 4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,
      • 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
      • 6 For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
      • 7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
      • 8 and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
