- Call To Worship – Romans 11:33-36 ESV
- 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
- 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”
- 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?”
- 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
- Reading – [Psalm 42:1-8 ESV]
- 1 To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
- 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
- 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
- 4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
- 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
- 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
- 7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
- 8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

- Sermon – “Bumps, Lumps, Potholes, and Ditches” – [John 15:1-9 ESV]
- 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
- 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
- 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
- 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
- 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
- 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
- 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
- 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
- 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
