- Hymn 517 - If God Himself Be For Me: vv. 1-3 & 5

- Romans 8: 35-39: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

- Hymn 539 - Jerusalem, My Happy Home: vv. 1-4

- 1 Timothy 6: 6-12: Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

- Psalm 63 - O Lord, I Will Sing of Your Constant Love - C. Walker: Soloist: O Lord, I will sing… / Cong.: O Lord, I will sing… You are my God, how I long for you, I thirst like a dry weary land. I gaze on you in your holy place to see how mighty and glorious you are. / O Lord, I will sing… Better than life is your holy love; my lips will speak of your praise. I bless you my God for all of my life and in your name I will lift up my hands. / O Lord, I will sing… My soul will feast and be satisfied; my mouth shall praise you with joy. At night I remember you are my help. I sing for joy for your hand keeps me safe. / O Lord, …

- Galatians 5: 22-25: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

- Hymn 63 - Now Thank We All Our God

- Luke 17: 11-19: Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

- Hymn 466 - We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer Creator

- Acts 14: 15b-18: When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons,filling our hearts with food and gladness.” And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

Matthew 6:5-8 "When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites.

For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of

the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you,

they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and

when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret

place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And

when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heather do. For they

think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not

be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before

you ask Him."

Ephesians 4:7-10 To each one of us grace was given according to the

measure of Christ's gift. Therefore He says: "When He ascended on

high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men." (Ps. 68:18)

(Now this, "He ascended"—what does it mean but that He also first

descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also

the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all

things.)
