Call to Worship

Like mighty trees planted by living water

are the men and women who delight in the law of the Lord.

They read the leaves of His book,

and their leaves never wither.

They bear fruit in the proper season.

In all they do, they prosper.

Blessed are the people who are rooted in the Word of God.

The wicked are carried away like chaff,

but the righteous stand strong on the promises of God.

Adapted from Psalm 1

Confession

Lord, your Word is like silver refined seven times.

In our age of falsehoods, Your Word remains true.

And yet, we would rather entertain the influence of fools than listen to the instruction of the Almighty.

We live by our passions, worldly wisdom, or our own reason

when You have told us a better way to live.

Like Adam and Eve, we would rather listen to the hissing of tricksters telling us what we want to hear than to submit to the voice of our Creator who tells us what we need to know.

Help us listen to You again, O, God.

Speak, Lord. Your servants are listening.

Adapted from Psalm 12:6, Genesis 2

Assurance

Though we neglected your Word,

the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Though we once walked in darkness,

Jesus shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome him.

The world did not receive Jesus,

but He made those who did receive Him to be children of God.

When we didn’t listen to Your voice,

You sent Jesus to us.

He is greater than Solomon!

Wise in all His ways!

We live by the Word made flesh.

From His fullness we have received grace upon grace.

-Adapted from John 1

Scripture Reading & Sermon

Pastor Timothy Paul Jones

1. The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 For learning wisdom and discipline;
for understanding insightful sayings;
3 for receiving prudent instruction
in righteousness, justice, and integrity;
4 for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced,
knowledge and discretion to a young man—
5 let a wise person listen and increase learning,
and let a discerning person obtain guidance—
6 for understanding a proverb or a parable,
the words of the wise, and their riddles.

7 The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 1:1-7
