I Lay It All Down [Palm Sunday] The prayer in this Palm Sunday video reminds us that God’s love endures. We are invited to lay down the coat of our shame and sin and wave palm branches to celebrate the one true God. Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

On Easter Sunday, we are reminded of Jesus' resurrection — that the tomb was empty and death was conquered. Our worship today celebrates His glory and power over sin and death. Matthew 28:5-8 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

The Road Back to You Even though we walk away from God, He is right there waiting for us to return and celebrates with us when we do. Today's reflection on the Lost Parables (sheep, coin, son) will help us to see our Father's heart.

I Thirst for You 1 Timothy 1:12-17 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

March 5 Family Worship Walking Toward Surrender Today we reflect on Jesus, who was sent as an infant to live among us and die for us. Like Mary surrendered and said yes to God, this prayer helps us surrender to God and all He asks of us. John 10:14-18 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” Welcome Invocation & Prayer Come Lord Jesus (Even So Come) Luke 1:46-55 Mary Did You Know?

February 26, 2023 • Pastor Stephen DeMik • Psalm 51:1–12, 2 Corinthians 1:21–22, Matthew 4:1–11

Forgive Me As we begin the season of Lent, we turn our attention to the temptation we allow into our lives and offer a prayer asking God to be our refuge and place of safety. Job 11:13-18 If you prepare your heart, you will stretch out your hands toward him. If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents. Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure and will not fear. You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away. And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security.
