Christ Be Magnified
Were creation suddenly articulate
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
From north to south and east to west
We'd hear Christ be magnified
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
His name would burst from sea and sky
From rivers to the mountain tops
We'd hear Christ be magnified
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
When every creature finds its inmost melody
And every human heart its native cry
Then in one enraptured hymn of praise
We'll sing Christ be magnified
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
I won't bow to idols
I'll stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
I won't be formed by feelings
I’ll hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation
Then I'll be crucified with You
'Cause death is just the doorway
Into resurrection life
If I join You in Your suffering
Then I'll join You when You rise
And when You return in glory
With all the angels and the saints
My heart will still be singing
My song will be the same
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me
Greeting and Announcements
We all have it - something you we hold on to just in case you ever need it. A constant reminder that you may have too much stuff. And it can be overwhelming. If you are seeking to simplify, a starting place is learning from the Bible about contentment.
Confession & Forgiveness
Pastor: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;”
All: Most merciful God, it all belongs to You, but I live like it is all mine. I confess that I have been wasteful in big and small ways with what You have so graciously given to me to support our body and life. Forgive me, I pray, for the times I have lived for the here and now, rather than with eternity in mind; I have stored up treasures on earth neglecting the treasures of heaven; I have spent money frivolously on what I think is important in the moment.
Pastor: My friends, everything we are and everything we own belongs to God. He meets all our needs, in every way. Trust in His provision. Through Jesus’ great sacrifice, we have been forgiven us for our selfishness. In response, we are called to live as managers:
… of all of God’s creation
… of our homes and families
… of our money and lifestyle
… of our bodies and minds
… and the expansion of the Kingdom of God.
Take My Life, O Lord, Renew (LW 404)
Take my life O Lord renew
Consecrate my heart to You
Take my moments and my days
Let them sing Your ceaseless praise
Take my hands and let them do
Works that show my love for You
Take my feet and lead their way
Never let them go astray
Take my voice and let me sing
Praises to my Savior King
Take my lips and keep them true
Filled with messages from You
Take my silver and my gold
All is Yours a thousand-fold
Take my intellect and use
Ev’ry pow’r as You shall choose
Take my love my Lord I pour
At Your feet its treasure store
Take myself Lord let me be
Yours alone eternally
Scripture Reading
Philippians 4:10-20 - I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Message: Stuff
Philippians 4:11-13 - I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
All I have comes from God
James 1:17 - Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father
Philippians 4:13 - I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Prayer
If you are in need of prayer, we would love the opportunity to pray with you!
Praise to the Lord The Almighty (LW 444)
Praise to the Lord the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul praise Him
For He is your health and salvation
Let all who hear
Now to His temple draw near
Joining in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord
Who has fearfully wondrously made you
Health has bestowed
And when heedlessly falling has stayed you
What need or grief
Ever has failed of relief
Wings of His mercy did shade you
Praise to the Lord
Who will prosper your work and defend you
Surely His goodness and mercy
Shall daily attend you
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
As with His love He befriends you
Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore Him
All that has life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him
Blessing
Matthew 6:25-26 - “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us forgive us
As we forgive the ones who sinned
Against us forgive them
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
Let your kingdom come
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us forgive us
As we forgive the ones who sinned
Against us forgive them
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
Let your kingdom come
It's yours it's yours
All yours all yours
The kingdom the power
The glory are yours
It's yours it's yours
All yours all yours
Forever and ever
The kingdom is yours
It's yours it's yours
All yours all yours
The kingdom the power
The glory are yours
It's yours it's yours
All yours all yours
Forever and ever
The kingdom is yours
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
Father let your kingdom come
Father let your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
On Earth as in Heaven
Right here in my heart
