SERMON The Rev. Adam D. Gorman“How Long, O Lord?”

THE RESPONSE CONFESSION OF FAITH (The Confession of 1967 – 9.21, 9.23) The reconciling work of Jesus was the supreme crisis in the life of humankind.

His cross and resurrection become personal crisis, and present hope, for people when the gospel is proclaimed and believed. In this experience, the Spirit brings God’s forgiveness to people, moves them to respond in faith, repentance, and obedience, and initiates the new life in Christ… The new life does not release a person from conflict with unbelief, pride, lust, or fear. They still have to struggle with disheartening difficulties and problems. Nevertheless, as they mature in love and faithfulness in their life with Christ, they live in freedom and good cheer, bearing witness on good days and evil days, confident that the new life is pleasing to God and helpful to others.

INVITATION TO OFFERING

OFFERTORY SOLO trad. Swedish “How Great Thou Art”

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, how great Thou art! And when I think of God, His Son not sparing sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in that on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings...When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and then proclaim, “My God, how great Thou art!” Then sings...

Caroline Reinstadtler, soprano

PRAYER OF ADORATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER PRAYER OF CONFESSION Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be

attentive to the voice of my supplications! If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness within You, so that You may be revered. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning. O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with Him is great power to redeem. It is He Who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities. Amen
