Hymn
All Creatures of Our God and King
All creatures of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along, O sing ye! Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice!
2
Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest us both warmth and light,
Thou fertile earth, that day by day
Unfoldest blessing on your way, O sing ye! Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
Let them God’s glory also show!
And everyone of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part. O sing ye! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and cast on God your care!
All creatures, your Creator bless,
And worship God in humbleness. O sing ye! Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One!

Reading from the Epistles
Acts 3:12-19
When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, “You Israelites, why do you wonder at
this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him
walk? 13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of
our ancestors has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in
the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him. 14 But you rejected the
Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you, 15 and you killed
the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16 And
by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and
know; and the faith that is through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the
presence of all of you. 17 “And now, friends, I know that you acted in ignorance, as
did also your rulers. 18 In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the
prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. 19 Repent therefore, and turn to God so that
your sins may be wiped out.

1 John 3:1-7
See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and
that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
2 Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed.
What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him
4
as he is. 3 And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4
Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that
he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in
him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one
deceive you. Everyone who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous .

One: This is the Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God!

Reading from the Gospel

Luke 24:36b-48
Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were
startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38 He said to them,
“Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands
and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh
and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when he had said this, he showed them
his hands and his feet. 41 While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering,
he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled
fish, 43 and he took it and ate in their presence. 44 Then he said to them, “These are
my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about
me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he
opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them, “Thus it is
written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and
that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things.

Sermon Rev. John Scott
“Are We Deceiving Ourselves?”

RESPONDING TO THE WORD
Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus
Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of
the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended
into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of
sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.
Hymn
Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
