Chelsey Hedglin Centering Music: Living By Faith: Caleb Dinger, Piano Call to Worship: written by Carolyn Binford: led by Rev. John Hill In these times Lord may we be open to your presence! We come searching for you, O Lord! We try to be strong and depend upon you, but we are impatient! We come to You wanting and waiting, O Lord! Help us to love each other as You have loved us. We accept your generous love, O Lord! Through your Word equip us to face the world around us, which can at times be frightening. We come to you seeking your Comfort, O Lord! Let us forgive each other as you have forgiven us. In your Name let us find forgiveness, O Lord! Glory to God! Amen! I was taught that you would always be with me, but somehow, I got lost. I went my own way! But somehow you found me again and again! You were still there, but I left, you did not! Just when I thought I was really lost, there You were again! Thank you Lord for staying by my side, even when I was so lost! Praise God! *based on Hebrews 13:5b: Never will I leave you: never will I forsake you. Hymns: By Faith and Silence, Frenzied, Unclean Spirit By Faith Verse 1 By faith we see the hand of God In the light of Creation’s grand design In the lives of those who prove God’s faithfulness Who walk by faith and not by sight Verse 2 By faith our fathers roamed the earth With the power of God’s promise in their hearts Of a holy city built by God’s own hand A place where peace and justice reign Chorus We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on God our soul’s reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We’ll walk by faith and not by sight Verse 3 By faith the prophets saw a day When the longed-for Messiah would appear With the power to break the chains of sin and death And rise triumphant from the grave Verse 4 By faith the church was called to go In the power of the Spirit to the lost To deliver captives and to preach good news In every corner of the earth Repeat Chorus Verse 5 By faith the mountain shall be moved And the power of the gospel shall prevail For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name Repeat Chorus Silence, Frenzied, Unclean Spirit Verse 1 “Silence, frenzied, unclean spirit!” cried God’s healing Holy One. “Cease your ranting! Flesh can’t bear it; flee as night before the sun.” At Christ’s words the demon trembled, from its victim madly rushed, while the crowd that was assembled stood in wonder, stunned and hushed. Verse 2 Lord, the demons still are thriving in the gray cells of the mind: tyrant voices, shrill and driving, twisted thoughts that grip and bind, doubts that stir the heart to panic, fears distorting reason’s sight, guilt that makes our loving frantic, dreams that cloud the soul with fright. Verse 3 Silence, Lord, the unclean spirit in our mind and in our heart; speak your word that when we hear it, all our demons shall depart. Clear our thought and calm our feeling; still the fractured, warring soul. By the power of your healing make us faithful, true, and whole. Opening Prayer: written by Barry Coggins: led byRev. Chelsey Hedglin I Choose to Believe Still small voice living inside us all We can hear the words if we choose to call It’s a sleepless night, a waking dream We’re all dead men walking to a place unseen Timeless, wondrous, mysterious A spirit, you can feel it, I choose to believe For all the comfort in times of need For all the things that I feel but can’t see There’s a way to get past the noise Is God the voice? You make your own choice I choose to believe Big blue ball, ocean all around It’s a fragile home, it’s our common ground Heaven sent, all this air we breathe Warmed by a ball of fire all our senses need Birthright, sunlight, moonlight Every season, there’s a reason, I choose to believe For every baby that makes me smile For every day that I walk another mile There’s a way to get past the noise To God the voice? You can make your choice I choose to believe © 2000 Barry Coggins Scripture Reading: Mark 9:14-29: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe, and they ran forward to greet him. He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought you my son; he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; and whenever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so.” He answered them, “You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me.” And they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. It has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “If you are able! —All things can be done for the one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You spirit that keeps this boy from speaking and hearing, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!” After crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he was able to stand. When he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” He said to them, “This kind can come out only through prayer.” Sermon: the Uncertainty of Faith: Rev.
