- Call To Worship – 2 Corinthians 8:1-5
-
- 1 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,
- 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.
- 3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,
- 4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints –
- 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.
-
- Reading – [2 Corinthians 9:6-12 ESV]
-
- 6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
- 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
- 9 As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
- 10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
- 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
- 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.

- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – Psalm 1
-
- 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
- 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
- 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
- 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
- 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
- 6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
-
- Reading – [2 Kings 23:36 – 24:5 ESV]
-
- 36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
- 37 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
- 1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
- 2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the Ammonites, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by his servants the prophets.
- 3 Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the LORD, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,
- 4 and also for the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
- 5 Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – Hebrews 4:14-16
-
- 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
- 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
- 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
-
- Reading – [Hebrews 4:10-13 ESV]
-
- 10 for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
- 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
- 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
- 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Philippians – Rejoice and Pray
- Prelude
- Welcome | Announcements
- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
-
- 13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
- 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep.
- 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
- 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
- 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
- 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
-
- Reading – [Matthew 6:25-29, 33-34 ESV]
-
- 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
- 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
- 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
- 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
- 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
- 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Philippians – Press On!
- Prelude
- Welcome | Announcements
- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – UMH 69
-
- Glorious God, source of joy and righteousness, enable us as redeemed and forgiven children evermore to rejoice in singing your praises. Grant that what we sing with our lips we may believe in our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts we may practice in our lives; so that being doers of the Word and not hearers only, we may receive everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- All: Amen.
-
- Reading – [Philippians 3:12-21 ESV]
-
- 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
- 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
- 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
- 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
- 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
- 17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
- 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
- 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
- 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
- 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Philippians – The Best of News for Troubling Times
- Prelude
- Welcome | Announcements
- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – UMH 602
-
- Blessed Lord, you have caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.
- All: Amen.
-
- Reading – [Philippians 3:1-11 ESV]
-
- 1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
- 2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
- 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh–
- 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
- 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
- 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
- 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
- 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
- 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith–
- 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
- 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians – Family Connections
- Prelude
- Welcome | Announcements
- Opening Prayer
- Call To Worship – UMH 838 – Psalm 117
-
- Leader: Praise the Lord, all nations!
- All: Extol the Lord, all peoples!
- Leader: The Lord’s steadfast love toward us is great!
- All: The faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever! Praise the Lord!
-
- Reading – [Philippians 2:19-30 ESV]
-
- 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.
- 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.
- 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
- 22 But you know Timothy’s proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.
- 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,
- 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
- 25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need,
- 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.
- 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
- 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.
- 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men,
- 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

-
- 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
- 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
- 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

- 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
- 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

- 5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
-

-
- 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
- 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
- 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
- 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
- 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
- 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
- 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
