Hymn Of Praise Unison ScriptureGiVe Me A

CLeAn heARTGive me a clean heartSo I may serve Thee.

Lord, fix my heartSo that I may be used by Thee.

For I’m not worthyOf all these blessings,Give me a clean heartAnd I’ll follow Thee.

RoMAnS 7:19-25 (MSG)19I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. 21-23It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge. 24I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?

25The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.

Re


Almighty and Most Merciful Father, we come before You, acknowledging our sins, our shortcomings, and our breaking of our Covenant with You.

Not only have we done things we ought not to have done, said things we ought not to have said, left undone so many things we ought to have done and been silent when we should have witnessed for You.

Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have also closed our eyes and pretended not to see the injustices, the racism and the evil which pervade our everyday lives.

We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for liberation which come from the lips, lives and hearts of the oppressed – even our own Black brothers and sisters!

Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and keep us ever mindful of Thy great sacrifice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and worship giving Your Name the praise forevermore.

******

To All Our Visitors ... To all who mourn and need comforting ... To all who are friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need liberation; and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for coming, and may God bless you.

AnnouncementsCongratulations to our Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. otis Moss iii,

selected by Baylor University as one of twelve of the most effective preachers in the english language!

BAyLoR UniVeRSiTy nAMeS PASToR MoSS AS one oF The MoST “eFFeCTiVe” PReACheRS in The enGLiSh LAnGUAGe

A dozen pastors known for their consistently stellar performances in the pulpit made Baylor Uni-versity’s list of the most effective preachers in the English-speaking world. The list of 11 men and one woman, chosen by scholars of homiletics, or the art of preaching, was released on Tuesday, May 1, 2018.

“In a world where talk is cheap and there seems to be no end to it, the preacher has to recover the priority and power of the word,” said W. Hulitt Gloer, director of the Kyle Lake Center for Ef-fective Preaching at Baylor’s Truett Theological Seminary in Waco, Texas. “Words are the tools of the preacher and that gives them incredible power,” Gloer added. The dozen preachers in the top 12 — academics, pastors, and authors — were picked from nearly 800 nominees.

Preaching experts in the Academy of Homiletics and the Evangelical Homiletics Society judged how much nominees’ preaching matched criteria that included their selection of biblical texts, the relevance of their sermons, and their ability to deliver them in language people can under-stand.

It’s been 22 years since Baylor last produced such a survey. Four names appear on both the 1996 list and the one released Tuesday. The Baylor preaching center sent the 1996 criteria to more than 500 homiletics professors for their input on criteria for the new survey. Members of the two homiletics societies were then asked to nominate as many as five people who met the new crite-ria. A total of 179 members — more than 30 percent of the membership of those two societies — submitted names. The final choices were narrowed down from 39 individuals who received the largest number of nominations.

enTSThis three part sermon series will explore how to handle and eventually heal from

wounds caused by others, wounds self-inflicted upon our own souls, and what to do when we are the source of other people’s injury. All of us are wounded worshipers, people who love God, but carry scars and bruises sometimes caused by people and institutions representing the God we love. This series will give you the tools to heal and the encouragement to carry on.
