FIRST READING: 2 Samuel 23:1-7
1These are the last words of David: "The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man exalted by the Most High, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, Israel's singer of songs: 2"The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue. 3The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: 'When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God, 4he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.' 5"Is not my house right with God? Has he not made with me an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part? Will he not bring to fruition my salvation and grant me my every desire? 6But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns, which are not gathered with the hand. 7Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie."
Psalm 132:1-12
1 O LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2 He swore an oath to the LORD and made a vow to the Mighty One
of Jacob:
3 "I will not enter my house or go to my bed—
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids,
5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6 We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
7 "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool—
8 arise, O LORD, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of
your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing
for joy."
10 For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your anointed one.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke:
"One of your own descendants I will place on your throne—
12 if your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then
their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever."
Second Reading: Revelation 1:4b-8
4bGrace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. 7Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. 8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (stand, if you are able): WOV No. 613
C: Al – le – lu – ia, al – le – lu – ia!
Al – le – lu – ia, al – le – lu – ia!
P: The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 18th Chapter
C: Glory to you, O Lord.
THE HOLY GOSPEL: John 18:33-37
33Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" 34"Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?" 35"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" 36Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." 37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
P: The Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to you, O Christ.
SERMON: “Leadership Begins in the Soul” Pastor Mark Evans
OFFERING/OFFERTORY (stand and sing): WOV Page 35
C: Let the vineyards be fruitful, Lord, and fill to the brim our cup of blessing.
Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown, that we may be fed with the bread of life.
Gather the hopes and dreams of all; unite them with the prayers we offer now.
Grace our table with your presence, Lord, and give us a foretaste of the feast to come.
A: Let us pray. Merciful God
C: we offer with joy and thanksgiving what you have first given us--
ourselves, our time, and our possessions, signs of your gracious love.
Receive them for the sake of him who offered himself for us, Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
After the updates of the People Concerns, the Congregation will stand and sing together:
PRAYER SONG: Sweet Hour of Prayer
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer that calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne – make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
THE PRAYERS (stand): WOV Page 34
A: Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
Each portion of the prayers concludes with these words:
A: Lord, in your mercy,
C: hear our prayer.
The prayers conclude with these words:
P: Into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray,
trusting in your mercy; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
C: Amen.
CONFESSION:
P: God of all mercy and consolation, come to the aid of your people, turning us from
our sin to live for you alone. Give us the power of your Holy Spirit that, attentive to
your Word, we may confess our sins, receive your forgiveness, and grow into the
fullness of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
C: Amen.
P: Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Gracious God,
C: Have mercy on us. In your compassion forgive us our sins, known and
unknown, things done and left undone. Uphold us by your Spirit so that we
may live and serve you in newness of life, to the honor and glory of your holy
name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
PARDON:
P: Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus
Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you
in eternal life.
C: Amen.
GREAT THANKSGIVING: WOV Page 36
P: The Lord be with you.
C: And also with you.
P: Lift up your hearts.
C: We lift them to the Lord.
P: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
C: It is right to give our thanks and praise.
P: It is indeed right and salutary that we should at all times and in all places
offer thanks . . . (Here the minister continues with the proper preface, concluding:) we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Congregation sings:
C: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna. Hosanna. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
P: In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave
thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my
body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink,
saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all
people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.

Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers Are Care-Givers; God is The Cure Giver.
The role of a Stephen Minister is to give care. They listen, empathize, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support on a weekly basis to hurting people for as long as the need persists. God works in and through them to bring hope and healing. If you are feeling lonely, experiencing a crisis, struggling through a difficult time, or simply find yourself stressed by everyday life, talk with one of our Stephen Leaders to learn more about Stephen Ministry. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you! For more info, talk to one of our Stephen Leaders, Pastor Mark or call the church office for a confidential return call.
