Call to Worship
Isaiah 6:1-4
Leader: In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up;
All: and the train of his robe filled the temple.
Leader: Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:
All: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"
Leader: And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

Assurance of Forgiveness
Isaiah 6:6-7; Titus 3:4-7
Leader: Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said:
All: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
Leader: When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
All: he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Sermon Passage
John 9:1-7 (ESV)
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
Leader: The grass withers, the flower fades,
All: ...but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)
Sermon
"What Life Is For"
Pastor Chris McLaughlin
This Is My Father’s World
By: Maltbie D. Babcock (1901); Arr: Mission House (2023)
This is my Father's world and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings, the music of the spheres
This is my Father's world; I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise
This is my Father's world; He shines in all that's fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father's world; Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
This is my Father's world; Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad
