Call to Worship Psalm 72:18-19

**Glorifying God in Song O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Hymn # 164

** The Invocation

** The Apostles’ Creed “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.”

**The Gloria Patri Hymn # 734

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

The First Scripture Lesson 1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. 4 Will evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the LORD? 5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous. 6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge. 7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Psalm 14

Leader: The Word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God

The Confession of Our Sins (If you are able, we invite you to kneel so that our outward posture reflects our inward attitude)

Most holy and merciful Father; we acknowledge and confess before Thee; our sinful nature prone to evil and slothful in good; and all our shortcomings and offenses. You alone know how often we have sinned; in wandering from Your ways; in wasting Your gifts; in forgetting Your love. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us; who are ashamed and sorry for all wherein we have displeased Thee. Teach us to hate our sins; cleanse us from our secret faults; and forgive our sins for the sake of Thy dear Son. And O most holy and loving Father; help us, we ask Thee; to live in Thy light and walk in Thy ways; according to the commandments of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Book of Common Worship, p. 12

Assurance of Pardon "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Isaiah 1:18

Musical Offering

The Second Scripture Lesson 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

James 1:1

Leader: The Word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God

Pastoral Prayer & 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 Anthem When Peace Like A River

by Horatio G. Spafford & Philip P. Bliss

When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."

Though evil should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,

And shed his own blood for my soul.

He lives, oh the bliss of this glorious thought, My sin, not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord , O my soul!

The Third Scripture Lesson 1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. 2 But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, 3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

John 7:1-5

Leader: The Word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God

Toddlers (2-3yr) K4-2nd 3rd-5th 6th-8th 9th-12th

Attention High School and College Students!!!

Over the summer, we are having a summer study for college and high school aged students beginning on Sunday, June 14th! We will be studying the book, The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller. In this 7-week study, we will follow Keller’s approach to understanding Christianity through Jesus’ most familiar parable, while applying this message to our own lives as young adults in the church. This study will be facilitated by Hannah Johnson at the Johnson home (6307 Nikki Lane 33625) Sunday evenings at 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm June 14 – August 9 (will not meet June 21 or August 2). If you are interested, please contact Hannah by phone at (813)-480-7856, or by email at hannahj9572@gmail.com so we can order you a book.

NEW YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES BEGINNING TODAY

Middle School - Seeking a King Taught by Randy Johnson & Jamie Dalton This is a Great Commission Publications curriculum which takes a look at Israel's history from the period of the Judges to king Solomon. It teaches us that Jesus is the true, perfect and only king we need. All of Israel's failures and successes point to our need to Jesus. Come and journey through some great Old Testament books this summer as they provide a feast for your soul. High School - Prayer: Theology on our Knees Taught by Danny Dalton & Steve Pothoven

Seminary professor John Frame’s definition of theology states, “Theology is application of Scripture to all of life.” He is saying that, we can have knowledge of doctrines that impress others, but if these doctrines do not affect the way you live, then you really don’t “know” them. In the same way, what good is talking about prayer, teaching about prayer and learning about prayer if we don’t actually PRAY?! The goal of this class is to develop a theology of prayer by actually spending time praying! Come, do theology on your knees. Let’s learn the language of worship, dependence, and guilt. We will explore the arts of contemplation, meditation, individual prayer, group prayer, and prayer guided by Scripture.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMP Please pick up registration forms from the MS Sunday School room or Luther Tower.

• Regular Registration: After May 24th, the price is $365 • Late Registration: After June 21st, the price goes to $380

NEW ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES BEGINNING TODAY

Walden Class - Study of Hebrews Room 108 Teacher: Jay Fontanini

The Walden Class, which will continue its study of the book of Hebrews, offers a combination of Bible study and social interaction, as participants share their lives with one another through prayer requests, praise reports, brief devotionals, and a thirty-minute Bible lesson each Sunday. The class offers a greater degree of flexibility for those desiring to engage in a study of a particular book of the Bible, which may exceed the quarterly limitations of other classes, e.g. a four or five month study through The Gospel of Matthew or the book of Revelation, etc. This relaxing pace of the Walden Class allows for a comprehensive study of Sacred Scripture in the context of thoughtful dialog, question and answer, and practical application of God's Word.

Economics for Everybody with R.C. Sproul, Jr. Church Office Teacher: Gregg Quick From government policy to household budgets, economics is everywhere. Yet few people have a proper understanding of economic principles, and how Christians should think about them. Economics for Everybody is a twelve-part video series and curriculum tailor-made for families, churches, and individuals who want to understand this important topic. Thoroughly unconventional, it links entrepreneurship with lemonade, cartoons with markets, and Charlie Chaplin with supply and demand.
