Prelude Call to Worship -- Pastor David Nelson *Hymn: Children of the Heavenly Father *Prayer of Confession O Lord, like the apostles, we do not always understand what we see and hear. Like them our faith is often inadequate and our behavior comes up wanting. Forgive us. Let us proceed to grow in faith and may our actions more fully be the actions You would wish them to be. In Jesus' name we ask this. Amen. *Assurance of Promise The Reading of the Psalm [responsive] -- Psalm 50:1-6 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, has spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth. Our God comes, and does not keep silence: A fire devours before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him. He calls to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people: Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself.
