  • Psalm | Psalm 72 (with Tom Gastil)

    Opening Song:

    Instrument of Peace by Isaac Wardell, Jessica Fox, Liz Vice, Orlando Palmer, and Paul Zach

    Lyrics:

    Lord make me
    An instrument of peace
    An instrument of peace

    Where is there hatred let me sow love

    Where there is darkness let me sow light
    For in the giving we shall receive
    And in the dying we’re given life

    Lord make me

    An instrument of peace
    An instrument of peace

    Where there is sorrow let me sow hope

    Where there is doubt let me sow faith
    Where is injury your pardon give
    Your consolation to those in pain

    Lord make me

    An instrument of peace
    An instrument of peace

    Passage:

    1 Give the king your justice, O God,
    and your righteousness to the royal son!
    2 May he judge your people with righteousness,
    and your poor with justice!
    3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people,
    and the hills, in righteousness!
    4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
    give deliverance to the children of the needy,
    and crush the oppressor!

    5 May they fear you while the sun endures,

    and as long as the moon, throughout all generations!
    6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass,
    like showers that water the earth!
    7 In his days may the righteous flourish,
    and peace abound, till the moon be no more!
    10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands
    render him tribute;
    may the kings of Sheba and Seba
    bring gifts!
    11 May all kings fall down before him,
    all nations serve him!

    12 For he delivers the needy when he calls,

    the poor and him who has no helper.
    13 He has pity on the weak and the needy,
    and saves the lives of the needy.
    14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
    and precious is their blood in his sight.
    (Psalm 72:1–7, 10–14 ESV)

    Musical Reflection:

    Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach

    Reflection Notes:

    Bach’s well-known prelude spins out a series of modulations, almost imperceptible at first. The new harmonies continually unfold in a way that intrigues but never shocks.

    Prayer:

    O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

  • Old Testament | Isaiah 60:1-6 (with Nick Locke)

    Opening Song:

    Light After Darkness by Advent Birmingham

    Lyrics:

    Light after darkness, gain after loss,
    Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
    Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
    Home after wandering, praise after tears.

    Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain,

    Sight after mystery, peace after pain;
    Joy after sorrow, calm after blast,
    Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last.

    Weeping may remain for a night

    But joy arrives in morning’s new light
    I’ll praise the God of merciful plight
    Still I will praise him, still I will praise him, my God.

    Near after distant, gleam after gloom,

    Love after loneliness, life after tomb;
    After long agony, rapture of bliss,
    Right was the pathway, leading to this.

    You give and you take away

    In darkness still I will say:
    “A good God I serve this day.”
    Still I will praise you, still I will praise you.

    Passage:

    1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
    2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
    and thick darkness the peoples;
    but the LORD will arise upon you,
    and his glory will be seen upon you.
    3 And nations shall come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your rising.

    4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see;

    they all gather together, they come to you;
    your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
    5 Then you shall see and be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,
    because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
    6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
    all those from Sheba shall come.
    They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the LORD.
    (Isaiah 60:1–6 ESV)

    Musical Reflection:

    “Amazing Grace,” Appalachian folk tune

    Reflection Notes:

    This beloved tune, formally known as NEW BRITAIN, originates from the folk music of Appalachia. The melody is simple and outlines triads, making it memorable; the ascending line creates a triumphant climax.

    Prayer:

    This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

  • Gospel | John 6:56-69 (with Nick Locke)

    Opening Song:

    John 6 by Jess Ray and Taylor Leonhardt

    Lyrics:

    It doesn't matter if the whole world turns away
    I will stay with You my God, I will stay with You

    For where can I go? Where can I go? Where can I go?

    When only You hold the words of life
    Only You hold the words of life

    It doesn't matter where we're going if You will go with me

    I will stay with You my God, I will stay with You

    For where can I go? Where can I go? Where can I go?

    When only You hold the words of life
    Only You hold the words of life
    Where can I go? Where can I go? Where can I go?
    When only You hold the words of life
    Only You hold the words of life

    No other well's gonna satisfy

    No other word's gonna be my light
    No other love that I'm turning to
    Jesus, You're my breakthrough

    Passage:

    56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.

    60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

    66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

    (John 6:56–69 ESV)

    Musical Reflection:

    Nothing But The Blood (PLAINFIELD) by Robert Lowry

    Reflection Notes:

    Lowry wrote several hymns for his congregation’s use in the late nineteenth century. This particular tune is pentatonic (only five notes used per octave) and falls within a small vocal range, which made it accessible for all parishioners to sing and enjoy.

    Prayer:

    Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

  • New Testament | Ephesians 6:10–20 (with Tom Gastil)

    Opening Song:

    Nothing to Fear by The Porter’s Gate and Audrey Assad

    Lyrics:

    When you pass through the waters I will be with you
    And the depths of the river shall not overwhelm
    When you walk through the fire you will not be burned
    I am the Lord, I am the Lord

    And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear

    There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
    For I am with you always

    In the depths of your sorrow I wept beside you

    When you walked through the shadow I drew you near
    And yesterday, today, tomorrow, always the same
    I am the Lord, I am the Lord
    And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
    There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
    For I am with you always

    And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear

    There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
    For I am with you always

    What can separate you from My perfect Love?

    Do not fear

    Passage:

    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

    (Ephesians 6:10–20 ESV)

    It Is Well With My Soul (VILLE DU HAVRE) by Philip Bliss

    Reflection Notes:

    A hymn born in tragedy, “It is Well” was penned by Horatio Spafford after hearing that his daughters had all perished in a shipwreck. Through this devastation, Spafford and his wife clung to the promise of God’s goodness. Spafford’s immortal words were set to music by his good friend and hymn writer, Philip Bliss; Bliss titled the tune “Ville du Havre” after the ship on which Spafford’s children had died.

    Prayer:

    Almighty and everlasting God, who governs all things in heaven and earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and grant us your peace all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  • Psalm | 84 (with Nick Locke)

    Opening Song:

    Psalm 84 (I’m Home) by Shane & Shane

    Lyrics:

    How lovely are Your dwelling places
    Your Holy Spirit here in us
    Oh how I love to sing Your praises
    One day with You would be enough

    When I bow down before You

    I am richer than all kings
    When I stand in Your presence
    I am free
    When I sit at Your table
    I am right where I belong
    In the doorway of my Father's house
    I'm home

    If all this world was for the taking

    And every treasure known was mine
    Not one of them would ever sway me
    I'd choose my Savior every time

    When I bow down before You

    I am richer than all kings
    When I stand in Your presence
    I am free
    When I sit at Your table
    I am right where I belong
    In the doorway of my Father's house
    I'm home

    Passage:

    To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

    1 How lovely is your dwelling place,

    O LORD of hosts!
    2 My soul longs, yes, faints
    for the courts of the LORD;
    my heart and flesh sing for joy
    to the living God.

    3 Even the sparrow finds a home,

    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
    at your altars, O LORD of hosts,
    my King and my God.
    4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever singing your praise! Selah

    5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

    in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
    6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    the early rain also covers it with pools.
    7 They go from strength to strength;
    each one appears before God in Zion.

    8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;

    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
    9 Behold our shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!

    10 For a day in your courts is better

    than a thousand elsewhere.
    I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
    11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
    the LORD bestows favor and honor.
    No good thing does he withhold
    from those who walk uprightly.
    12 O LORD of hosts,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you!

    (Psalm 84:1–12 ESV)

    I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED) by Robert Lowry

    Reflection Notes:

    Each stanza of this familiar hymn was written by Annie Hawks as part of a poem. When she showed the composition to her pastor, Robert Lowry, he added the refrain and set the text to music for their congregation to enjoy. The musical lines always tend upward before falling back down, an apt parallel to the textual pleas reaching up to God.

    Prayer:

    Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

  • Old Testament | 1 Kings 8:1, 6, 10–11, 22–30, 41–43 (with Nick Locke)

    Opening Song:

    O Lord, open our lips

    And our mouths will declare your praise.
    Glory be to the Father,
    And to the Son,
    And to the Holy Spirit,
    As it was in the beginning,
    Is now and ever shall be,
    World without end,
    Amen.

    The Scripture for today is 1 Kings 8:1, 6, 10-11, 22-30, and 41-43.

    Let’s prepare our hearts to hear from God’s Word as we listen to You Will Remain by David Leonard, David Wood, and Leslie Jordan. The opening percussion without harmony establishes a primary steadiness--a weight placed on the foundational aspects of our God. One line is isolated, with a spotlight of harmonic intensity on the words “You are the Great I Am.” As the song continues, “through all things, the Lord remains.”

    Lyrics:

    You, Oh Lord are my stay

    Humbly came
    My soul to save
    To light the way, oh

    All I have is found in You

    Christ in me, all things true
    All things pure
    All things good

    You are the Great I Am

    So unchanging

    Your promise is sure
    Never ending
    Your love will endure
    You were, You will be
    You always are the Great I Am

    You, Oh Lord will remain

    When everything else
    Fades away
    You, Oh Lord will remain

    So unchanging

    Your promise is sure
    Never ending
    Your love will endure
    You were, You will be
    You always are the Great I Am

    Hallelujah, hallelujah

    Your love never fails
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    Your love never fails
    Passage:
    1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
    6 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
    10 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, a cloud filled the house of the LORD, 11 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

    22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven, 23 and said, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart; 24 you have kept with your servant David my father what you declared to him. You spoke with your mouth, and with your hand have fulfilled it this day. 25 Now therefore, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you have promised him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’ 26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David my father.

    27 “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! 28 Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O LORD my God, listening to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays before you this day, 29 that your eyes may be open night and day toward this house, the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there,’ that you may listen to the prayer that your servant offers toward this place. 30 And listen to the plea of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. And listen in heaven your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.

    41 “Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a far country for your name’s sake 42 (for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house, 43 hear in heaven your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house that I have built is called by your name.

    All to Jesus I Surrender (SURRENDER) by Winfield S. Weeden

    Reflection Notes:

    This tune was originally intended to have two-part harmonies on the verse and four-part harmonies of the refrain; the additional harmonic fullness adds to the repeated emphasis of the words “I surrender all.”

    Prayer:

    This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

    Opening Song:

    What Child Is This? By William Chatterton Dix, arranged by Chris Tomlin

    Lyrics:

    What Child is this who laid to rest
    On Mary's lap is sleeping
    Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
    While shepherds watch are keeping

    This this is Christ the King

    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
    Haste haste to bring Him laud
    The Babe the Son of Mary

    So bring Him incense gold and myrrh

    Come peasant king to own Him
    The King of kings salvation brings
    Let loving hearts enthrone Him

    Raise raise a song on high

    The virgin sings her lullaby
    Joy joy for Christ is born
    The Babe the Son of Mary (Mary)

    Nails spears shall pierce Him through

    The cross He bore for me for you
    Hail hail the Word made flesh
    The Babe the Son of Mary

    Passage:

    39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

    46 And Mary said,

    “My soul magnifies the Lord,
    47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
    48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
    49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
    50 And his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
    51 He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
    52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
    53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
    54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
    55 as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
    (Luke 1:39–55 ESV)

    Angels We Have Heard on High (GLORIA), French carol

    Reflection Notes:

    This joyful French carol describes the scene found in Luke 2:8-15. Angels surprise shepherds in the Bethlehem fields and share the good news of the Savior’s birth. The famous chorus of cascading “glorias” emulates the angels’ song from that special night.

    Prayer:

    Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born [this day] of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

    There Blooms A Rose in Bethlehem by Neil DeGrade

    Lyrics:

    There blooms a rose in Bethlehem
    From tender stem hath sprung
    Of Jesse's line this flower grows
    As men of old have sung
    Isaiah told us long ago
    About this rose we'd find
    In virgin arms we shall behold
    The Savior of mankind

    The glories of the heavens

    Surrounded shepherds bright
    The angels sang a sign was shown
    The Christ was born that night
    What mystery they came upon
    The sign the heralds laud
    In manger slept the Holy One
    In flesh the Son of God

    This flow'r in bloom a scent so sweet

    That greets us in the air
    It has dispelled with hopefulness
    The sting of death's despair
    Foretold this rose was born to die
    But would not see decay
    So those who place their faith in Him
    Shall blossom from the grave

    So those who place their faith in Him

    Shall blossom from the grave

    Passage:

    5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
    “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
    but a body have you prepared for me;
    6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
    you have taken no pleasure.
    7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
    as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

    8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    (Hebrews 10:5–10 ESV)

    Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming (ES IST EIN ROS) by Michael Praetorius

    Reflection Notes:

    Praetorius composed this tune in the early seventeenth century while working at various court and church appointments in Germany. The somewhat melancholy nature of the melody reflects the theological tension of the text: the rose of Christ is born to die, but will rise again in resurrection glory.

    Prayer:

    Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of
    darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this
    mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in
    great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again
    in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead,
    we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and
    reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
    Amen.

    let your face shine, that we may be saved!

    4 O LORD God of hosts,

    how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
    5 You have fed them with the bread of tears
    and given them tears to drink in full measure.
    6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
    and our enemies laugh among themselves.

    7 Restore us, O God of hosts;

    let your face shine, that we may be saved!
    (Psalm 80:1–7 ESV)

    Musical Reflection:

    Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (PICARDY)

    Reflection Notes:

    Adapted from a medieval French folk tune, PICARDY was later arranged by esteemed English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as a congregational hymn. The minor tonalities and scalar phrasing are very reminiscent of chant and serve to create a hushed environment in which to reflect on the rich text.

    Prayer:

    This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
