SERMON: God's Direction
SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:41-52
UNISON READING—WORDS BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. Instead, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH—PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
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
