SERMON: The Truth
SCRIPTURE: John 18:28-38
REPONSIVE READING: A LITANY FOR RECONCILIATION
L—Across the barriers that divide race from race
E—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
L—Across the barriers that divide rich from poor
E—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
L—Across the barriers that divide people of different cultures
E—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
L—Across the barriers that divide Christians
E—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
L—Across the barriers that divide men and women, young and old
E—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
L—Confront us, O Christ, with the hidden prejudices and fears that deny and betray our prayers
E—Enable us to see the causes of strife, remove from us all senses of superiority
L—Teach us to grow in unity with all God’s children
E—To the honor of your name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH:
In Jesus Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus Christ is God with humankind. He is the eternal Son of the Father, who became human and lived among us to fulfill the work of reconciliation. He is present in the church by the power of the Holy Spirit to continue and complete his mission. This work of God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the foundation of all confessional statements about God, humanity, and the world. Therefore, the church calls all people to be reconciled to God and to one another.
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
