Scripture Reading: Love - Philippians 2
Call to Worship:
Praise the Lord for his great love toward us!
His faithfulness is known through all generations!
We lift our eyes and hands in worship,
Because his unfailing love will last forever.
His love gives us life!
Confession and Lament
Lord, your love is perfect ― yet we have found our ways around it.
We have loved ourselves over our neighbor;
We have played favorites and ignored those in need.
Forgive us for our lack of love.
Your love is boundless, yet we have found ways to minimize it;
We have become satisfied with smaller things.
Bring us back to you when we settle for lesser loves.
Assurance of Gospel Peace:
Christ showed His love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, He died for us!
He has poured His love into our hearts,
And adopted us into an eternal family.
We cannot escape Christ’s great love!
