THE CALL TO WORSHIP Based on Romans 11:33-36)

[ Pastor / CONGREGATION ]

Psalm 27:1,4,5

The Lord is my light and my salvation!

WHOM SHALL I FEAR?

The Lord is the strength of my life!

OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID?

One thing I ask of the Lord;

THIS IS WHAT I SEEK:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE;

to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord,

AND TO SEEK HIM IN HIS TEMPLE.

For in the day of trouble

He will keep me safe in His dwelling.

HE WILL HIDE ME

IN THE SHELTER

OF HIS TABERNACLE

HE WILL SET ME HIGH

UPON THE SOLID ROCK.

**THE OPENING HYMN

#526

(1)

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

(2)

When darkness veils his lovely face,

I rest on his unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale,

my anchor holds within the veil.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

(3)

His oath, His covenant, His blood

support me in the whelming flood;

when all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

(4)

When He shall come with trumpet sound,

O may I then in Him be found,

dressed in His righteousness alone,

faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

SILENT PRAYERS OF

THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

Psalm 51:1,7

Have mercy on me, O God, according to

Your unfailing love; In Your great

compassion, blot out my transgressions;

Remove my sin, and I will be clean; Wash

me and I will be whiter than snow.

‘Tis So Sweet

To Trust In Jesus’

(1)

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to take Him at His Word;

Just to rest upon His promise,

And to know, “Thus says the Lord!”

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

(2)

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

(3)

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just from sin and self to cease;

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

(4)

I’m so glad I learned to trust You,

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

And I know that You are with me,

Will be with me to the end.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

HONORING OUR

MILITARY VETERANS

THE HOLY SCRIPTURE

Luke 10:25-37

FIVE LESSONS IN COMPASSION

An expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.

“Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit

eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?”

Jesus replied. “How do you understand this

Scripture?” The expert in the Law answered,

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and

with all your soul and with all your strength and

with all your mind; AND, Love your neighbor as

yourself.” “You have answered correctly,”

Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

But the expert in the Law, wanting to justify

himself, asked Jesus, “And who is my

neighbor?”

In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down

from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was

attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his

clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him

half dead. A priest happened to be going down

the same road, and when he saw the man, he

passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite,

when he came to that place and saw injured

man, passed by on the other side.

And when the Samaritan saw man, he took pity

on him. He went to him and bandaged his

wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put

the man on his own donkey, brought him to an

inn and took care of him.

The next day he took out two denarii and gave

the money to the innkeeper with these

instructions: ‘Look after him, and when I return, I

will reimburse you for any extra expense you

may have.’

Then Jesus said to the expert in the Law,

“Which of these three do you think was a

neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of

robbers?”

The expert in the law replied, “The one who had

mercy on him.” So Jesus told him, “Go and do

likewise.”

THE SERMON

‘FIVE LESSONS IN COMPASSION

FROM THE PARABLE OF THE

GOOD SAMARITAN’

Luke 10:25-37

Rev. Dr. Daniel Herlein

THE TWO PARTS OF THE MORAL LAW

Part ONE

You shall love the LORD your God

with all your heart,

with all your soul,

with all your strength, and

with all your mind,’

Part TWO

and love your neighbor

as you love yourself.

COMPASSION IS BASED ON NEED

NOT WORTH.

COMPASSION PRESENTS

A GUT FEELING

(ἐσπλαγχνίσθη)

COMPASSION IS

EXPRESSED BY ACTION

COMPASSION

CAN BE COSTLY

COMPASSION DEMONSTRATES

OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD

Jesus asked the lawyer

one additional question:

WHICH OF THESE THREE

DO YOU THINK WAS A NEIGHBOR

TO HIM WHO FELL

AMONG THE THIEVES?

The Pastoral Prayer

and

The Lord’s Prayer

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,

HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE,

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD,

AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS;

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,

AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER

AMEN.

THE CLOSING HYMN

#670

Make Me A Blessing

Out in the highways and byways of life,

many are weary and sad;

Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife

making the sorrowing glad.

Make me a blessing,

Make me a blessing,

Out of my life

May Jesus shine;

Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,

Make me a blessing to someone today.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love;

Tell of His pow'r to forgive;

Others will trust Him if only you prove

true ev'ry moment you live.

Make me a blessing,

Make me a blessing,

Out of my life

May Jesus shine;

Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,

Make me a blessing to someone today.

Give as was given to you in your need;

Love as the Master loved you;

Be to the helpless a helper indeed;

Unto your mission be true.

Make me a blessing,

Make me a blessing,

Out of my life

May Jesus shine;

Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,

Make me a blessing to someone today.
