- Call To Worship – Psalm 8
- 1 O LORD, our LORD, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
- 2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
- 3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
- 4 What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
- 5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
- 6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
- 7 All the sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
- 8 The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
- 9 O LORD, our LORD, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
- Reading – [John 15:18-21 ESV]
- 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
- 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
- 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
- 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
- Reading – [Romans 12:1-2 ESV]
- 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
- 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

- [Matthew 5:13-16 ESV]
- 13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
- 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
- 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
- 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

- [Ephesians 2:1-5, 11-15 ESV]
- 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
- 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience–
- 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
- 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
- 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved–
- …
- 11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands–
- 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
- 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
- 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
- 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,
