Who Is This Man?A Typical Day in the Life of Jesus

I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer. – Martin Luther, A Simple Way to Pray

A young man responded to Christ at the conclusion of one of my sermons saying, “I am the one with the unbroken will. Jesus has been pursuing me for years, and I want to give up. I want Christ to have my life.” Our tireless Jesus ... that is the way he ministers to us. That is the kind of heart Jesus has.

– R. Kent Hughes, Jesus, Servant and Savior

In coming to preach the gospel of God, Jesus came to preach Himself. He came as both the messenger and the message — without the atonement, there is no good news to proclaim. And when this good news is proclaimed accurately, it pushes back the kingdom of darkness.

– R. C. Sproul, The Purpose of Jesus’ Ministry

A Pastoral Note —

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This worship bulletin has been put together for you during this time that our public worship gatherings have been canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As you meet with your family, roommates, neighbors in your building, other members of CCNYC, or just by yourself, I hope it will be of help to you as you seek to worship and draw near to the Lord.

Though worship in the home and among families is not intended to and can never replace the corporate gathering of the whole congregation, it is nonetheless a good practice for all of us to develop. If you are not accustomed to doing ‘family worship’ it may seem odd at first, but I want to encourage you to keep pressing forward with it. As you do so, remember that it need not be complicated. The essence of family worship consists simply in singing, praying, and studying God’s Word together.

As we meet in our various homes and in small groups scattered throughout the city and region, please know that I am praying for all of you and longing to be meeting with you in person. In fact, I pray that our love and desire for meeting together will be strengthened because of this absence. What a sweet time of fellowship it will be when the Lord once again allows us to be together in person to worship Him!

Your pastor,Keith

“The more we worship God in secret, the fitter shall we be for family worship, and the more we worship God in our families, the fitter shall we be for public worship.” – Rev. John Angier (1605-1677)

ReflectionA quiet moment to prepare our heartsFor even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)

A period of silence is kept.

O Lord, open our lips; And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

O God, make speed to save us; O Lord, make haste to help us.

Praise the Lord. The Lord’s name be praised!

Confession

After a brief silence for reflection, all reply saying the words in bold.Most merciful Father, we humbly admit that we need your help.We confess that we have wandered from your way like lost sheep.We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts,

and have failed to do what is right. You alone can save us.Have mercy upon us, Lord;

wipe out our sins and teach us to forgive others.Turn our hearts to love and obey you.Bring forth in us the fruit of the Spirit that we may live as disciples of Christ.This we ask in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen.

Words of Comfort and AssuranceChrist Jesus says: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Hear and receive the good news of the gospel: in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.Thanks be to God!

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Words: Ed ward Mote, 1834; Music: William Bradbury, 1863 CCLI 2361806

A Prayer for the Hearing of God’s Word

Blessed Lord, who has caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we might hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, so that by patience and the comfort of your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Responsive Psalm – Psalm 21 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

First Bible Reading – Mark 1:29-3929 And immediately Jesus left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon

and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” 39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

This is the Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Second Bible Reading – 1 John 1:1-41 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have

seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

This is the Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Bible Reflection – Mark 1:29-39

A Typical Day in the Life of JesusFourth reflection in the series: Who Is This Man?

To help you reflect on Mark 1:29-39 you can find recordings of teaching from Keith on our website under ‘Sermons’. You can also find study questions on our blog.

Notes:

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, sufferedunderPontiusPilate,wascrucified,died,andwasburied; he descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.*The ‘catholic’ church is the totality of God’s people through the ages who hold firm to the classic teachings of Christ’s apostles.

Prayers

The Lord be with you.And with your spirit.

Let us pray.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth, as in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours

now and for ever. Amen.

and grant us your salvation.

Lord, govern the leaders of the nations,and mercifully hear our prayers.

Clothe your ministers with righteousness,and make your chosen people joyful.

Lord, save your people,and bless your inheritance.

Give peace in our time, O Lord,for you are our help and strength.

Create in us clean hearts, O God,and renew us by your Holy Spirit.

A Prayer for TodayO Lord, mercifully hear us; and grant that we, to whom you have given a hearty desire to pray, may by your mighty aid be defended and comforted in all dangers and adversities; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP 1662)

AlmightyGod,ourstrongtowerofdefenseintimeoftrouble:Weoffer you praise and heartfelt thanks for our deliverance from the dangers which lately surround us and for your gracious gift of peace. We confess that your goodness alone has preserved us; and we ask you still to continue your mercies toward us, that we may always know and acknowledge you as our Savior and mighty Deliverer; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers for God’s people, the nations, and people in need are said, concluding with:The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
