Invocation
Confession and Forgiveness:
P: We have come here today to worship the Lord. In worship we hear the Word of God, we receive God’s blessings, and respond with thanks and praise. We begin by seeking God’s blessing of forgiveness. He has promised to remove the guilt and shame of our sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
(a time of silence to reflect and personally confess our sins)
P: Let us confess our sins to the Lord.
P: Heavenly Father,
C: Heavenly Father,
P: I have done things that were wrong.
C: I have done things that were wrong.
P: I have been mean to others.
C: I have been mean to others.
P: I have not obeyed my parents.
C: I have not obeyed my parents.
P: I have not obeyed You, God.
C: I have not obeyed You, God.
P: But I am very sorry.
C: But I am very sorry.
P: Please forgive me.
C: Please forgive me.
P: I love You very much.
C: I love You very much.
P: And I know You love me, too.
C: And I know You love me, too.
P: Amen.
C: Amen.
P: God has heard your apology. He loves you very much. God has told us that when we believe and trust in Him, He makes us His children. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us. He has told me to tell you that you are forgiven. So, as His servant, I forgive you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.

Jesus loves me this I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong, They are weak, but He is strong.
Chorus:
Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me, The Bible tells me so.
Verse 2:
Jesus loves me, He who died. Heaven’s gates to open wide.
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

First Reading – Psalm 119:67-68, 72
Before I suffered, I did many wrong things.
But now I carefully obey everything you say.
You are good, and you do good things.
Teach me your laws….
…Your teachings are worth more to me
than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.

Second Reading – Romans 4:13-14, 16
Abraham and his descendants received the promise that they would get the whole world. But Abraham did not receive that promise because he followed the law. He received that promise because he was right with God through his faith. If people could get God’s promise by following the law, then faith is worthless. . And God’s promise to Abraham is worthless,…
…So people get what God promised by having faith. This happens so that the promise can be a free gift.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
Youth Message “God’s Promise Received Through Faith”
Gospel Reading – Matthew 9:9-13
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise be to You, O Christ.
Sermon Song: Blessed Be Your Name
Verse 1:
Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful.
Where Your streams of abundance flow, blessed be Your name.
Blessed be Your name when I’m found in the desert place.
Though I walk through the wilderness, blessed be Your name.
Pre-Chorus:
Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord still I will say,
Chorus:
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your glorious name.
Verse 2:
Blessed be Your name when the sun’s shining down on me.
When the world’s “all as it should be,” blessed be Your name.
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering.
Though there’s pain in the offering, blessed be Your name.
Pre-Chorus:
Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord still I will say,
Chorus:
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Your glorious name.
Bridge:
You give and take away. You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say, “Lord, blessed be Your name.”
(Pre-Chorus)

Closing Song Lyrics: Gratitude
Verse 1:
All my words fall short. I got nothing new.
How could I express all my gratitude?
Verse 2:
I could sing these songs, as I often do
But every song must end and You never do
Chorus:
So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a Hallelujah. Hallelujah!
And I know it’s not much but I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing, Hallelujah Hallelujah
Verse 3:
I’ve got one response. I’ve got just one move
With my arm stretched wide, I will worship You
Chorus:
So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a Hallelujah. Hallelujah!
And I know it’s not much but I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing, Hallelujah Hallelujah
Bridge:
So come on, my soul, oh, don’t you get shy on me. Lift up your song,
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord
(Repeat 2x)
Chorus:
So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a Hallelujah. Hallelujah!
And I know it’s not much but I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing, Hallelujah Hallelujah
