Scripture Passage: 2 Timothy 1:1-14
Sermon Title: "Rekindle the Gift"
Some original liturgy for ya from Joe...
Call to Worship
Leader: God, in the mists of life our fire for you can often be extingushed.
People: We have come together to worship you and to have the gift of living faith rekindled in our lives in in our community of faith.
Leader: We worship through words and song,
People: Though acts of love, reconciliation, and justice,
People: May our worship of you, O God, give you honor and glory and may the gift of living faith be re-kindled in our lives!
Opening Prayer:
Loving God, who works for good in all things, we give thanks for this day. Open our hearts, ears, and our minds this morning that we might recieve the gift of living faith in our souls and in our church so that we may re-present your Son, Jesus Christ, to the world in new and powerful ways. Amen.
Confession:
Gracious God, you know us and you know our hearts. Forgive us, when we've used our doubts as an excuse to keep from doing and saying what you ahve shown us to be true. Strengthen us when we lose the fire of living faith and continue to grant us opporutnities to demonstrate your lvoe to our neighbors as we grow in our connection with you. Amen.
