Boundaries for Blessing - Litany
God does lead us, we have invited God to be present in whatever we do, and wherever we are and to lead us in all of those places and postures. God’s commandments guide us in how we can allocate our gifts and resources, so they benefit our wellbeing.
One: God commanded have no other gods. Make no idols. Do not use the name of the LORD your God to exploit others. Bring no harm with your words. Jesus teaches us not to focus on the riches of this world but only focus on God, nobody can serve both God and wealth. Almighty God, write your law upon our hearts.
Many: In this pureness of heart will see God.
Boundaries for Blessing - Call to Worship
Call to worship to be used around the 10 commandments or the sermon on the mount
Welcome:
Let us enter into worship of our God together. We come to worship to praise our God and offer our gratitude for the presence of God’s grace in each of our lives. In your bulletin, you’ll find an adapted prayer in the voice of Moses, let’s re-create this praise in our worship today.
Call to Worship Psalm 90:
One: The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together.
Many: The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road.
Call to Worship - God Takes Personal Care of Us
Two versions - One more closely reflects Psalm 4 and the other is with gender-neutral language for God
Scripture Based Call to Worship (from Psalm 4)
Answer me when I cry out, my righteous God!
Set us free from our troubles! Have mercy on us! Listen to our prayer!
The Lord will hear us when I cry out.
We remember…
The Lord takes personal care of us.
