Call to Worship:
Do you hear them? The voices around the mount? Grieving widows, frightened soldiers, a poor man with outstretched hand. Do you hear them? The voices around the temple? Insecure preachers, hypocritical legalists,
doubters and theological tourists.
Do you hear them? The voices around the table?
Deniers, Traitors, Disciples still not listening, still not getting the message.
Do you hear them? The voices around the cross?
Weeping women, screaming men, gawkers and hawkers.
Do you hear them? The voices around Jesus.
I hear my voice. I hear your voice. Listen. … We hear the voice of God speaking.
*OPENING SONG: “Here, O My Lord, I See Thee” #623 UMH
*CONFESSION & PARDON My sisters and brothers, Christ shows us his love by becoming a humble servant. Let us draw near to God and confess our sin in the truth of God’s Spirit.
{A brief moment for silent confession}
Most merciful God, We your Church confess That often our spirit has not been that of Christ. Where we have failed to love one another as he loves us, Where we have pledged loyalty to him with our lips And then betrayed, deserted, or denied him, Forgive us, We pray: And by your Spirit make us faithful in every time of trial; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ. But Christ suffered and died for us, Was raised from the dead and ascended on high for us, And continues to intercede for us. Believe the Good news:
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! Glory to God. Amen
