- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – Psalm 141:1-5 ESV
- A Psalm of David.
- 1 O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
- 2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
- 3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!
- 4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies!
- 5 Let a righteous man strike me – it is a kindness; let him rebuke me – it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
- Reading – [James 1:19-25 ESV]
- 19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
- 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
- 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
- 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
- 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.
- 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.
- 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

- [Matthew 22:34-40 ESV]
- 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
- 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.
- 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
- 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
- 38 This is the great and first commandment.
- 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
- 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
-
- [Mark 9:35 ESV]
- 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
