The central things of Christian worship are not so much things that we do as events where God has promised to act. There is no “temple” in the city (Revelation 21:22). God and the Lamb take its place. That is, our praise, our worship, our action, our sacrifice, even our seeking, are not the heart of Christian worship. God’s presence, God’s gift, the very fruit of the tree of life, is. Bath, table, prayer, and word are important to “every seeking soul” because God is there, wiping away tears, giving life. ~ Gordon Lathrop The table fellowship of Jesus with his disciples has manifested itself throughout his ministry as a teaching and eating fellowship (cf. Luke 22:14-38). The Church will now continue this table fellowship with Jesus, for Jesus will be present in the Church through his teaching and his meals (cf. Acts 2:42). ~ Arthur A. Just, Jr. The apostles’ teaching; the common life of those who believed; the breaking of bread; and the prayers. These four go together. You can’t separate them or leave one out, without damage to the whole thing. When no attention is given to teaching, and to constant, lifelong Christian learning, people quickly revert to the worldview or mindset of the surrounding culture, and end up with their minds shaped by whichever social pressures are most persuasive, with Jesus somewhere around as a pale influence or memory. Where people ignore the common life of the Christian family (the technical term often used is ‘fellowship’, which is more than friendship but not less), they become isolated, and often find it difficult to sustain a living faith. Where people no longer share regularly in ‘the breaking of bread’ (the early Christian term for the simple meal that took them back to the Upper Room ‘in remembrance of Jesus’), they are failing to raise the flag which says “Jesus’ death and resurrection are the center of everything”. And whenever people do all these things but neglect prayer, they are quite simply forgetting that Christians are supposed to be heaven-and-earth people. Prayer makes no sense whatever - unless heaven and earth are designed to be joined together, and we can share in that already. ~ N. T. Wright

Please take a moment to silently confess your individual sins.

p G O S P E L MATTHEW 9:35-10:8 35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” 10:1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.

LEADER: The Gospel of the Lord. PEOPLE: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

p C R E E D UNISON: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come 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.

q P R A Y E R LEADER: Grant, Almighty God, that as we set up against you so many obstacles through

the depravity of our flesh and natural disposition, that we seem as it were to be intentionally striving to close up the door against your goodness and paternal favor, grant that our hearts may be so softened by your Spirit that we may submit ourselves to you, especially as you so kindly and tenderly invite us to yourself, that being drawn by your sweet invitation, we may run, and so run as not to be weary in our course, until Christ shall at length bring us together to you and that eternal life which he has obtained for us by his own blood. Amen.

q C A T E C H I S M From the New City Catechism #24

LEADER: Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die? PEOPLE: Since death is the punishment for sin, Christ died willingly in our place to

deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God. By his substitutionary atoning death, he alone redeems us from hell and gains for us forgiveness of sin, righteousness, and everlasting life.

q P R O C L A M A T I O N ACTS 2:42-47 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. LEADER: This is the Word of the Lord. PEOPLE: Thanks be to God.
