*CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 107:23-32) Rev. David Coggins

Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the mighty waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their calamity; they reeled and staggered like drunkards, and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out from their distress; he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they had quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.

Response:

Let us thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.

Let us extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

*PROCESSIONAL HYMN #590 The Solid Rock SOLID ROCK

As Edward Mote was walking to work one day in 1834, the thought

popped into his head to write a hymn on the “Gracious Experience of

a Christian.” As he walked up the road, he had the chorus, “On Christ,

the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.” By the end

of the day, he had the first four verses written out and safely tucked

away in his pocket. Later that week, he visited his friend whose wife

was very ill, and as they couldn’t find a hymnal to sing from, he dug up

his newly written verses and sang those with the couple. The wife

enjoyed them so much she asked for a copy, and Mote went home to

finish the last two verses and sent it off to a publisher, saying, “As these

verses so met the dying woman’s case, my attention to them was the

more arrested, and I had a thousand printed for distribution.”

Reading & Proclaiming God’s Word

OLD TESTAMENT LESSON Allyson Black

1 Samuel 17:32-49: David said to Saul, "Let no one's heart fail

because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine

to fight with him; for you are just a boy, and he has been a warrior

from his youth." But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to

keep sheep for his father; and whenever a lion or a bear came,

and took a lamb from the flock, I went after it and struck it down,

rescuing the lamb from its mouth; and if it turned against me, I

would catch it by the jaw, strike it down, and kill it. Your servant

has killed both lions and bears; and this uncircumcised Philistine

shall be like one of them, since he has defied the armies of the

living God." David said, "The LORD, who saved me from the paw

of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will save me from the

hand of this Philistine." So Saul said to David, "Go, and may the

LORD be with you!"

Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on

his head and clothed him with a coat of mail. David strapped

Saul's sword over the armor, and he tried in vain to walk, for he

was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, "I cannot walk

with these; for I am not used to them." So David removed them.

Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones

from the wadi, and put them in his shepherd's bag, in the pouch;

his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.

The Philistine came on and drew near to David, with his

shield-bearer in front of him. When the Philistine looked and saw

David, he disdained him, for he was only a youth, ruddy and

handsome in appearance. The Philistine said to David, "Am I a

dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed

David by his gods. The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and

I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the wild

animals of the field." But David said to the Philistine, "You

come to me with sword and spear and javelin; but I come to

you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies

of Israel, whom you have defied. This very day the LORD will

deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off

your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the Philistine

army this very day to the birds of the air and to the wild

animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there

is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the

LORD does not save by sword and spear; for the battle is the

Lord's and he will give you into our hand."

When the Philistine drew nearer to meet David, David ran

quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. David put

his hand in his bag, took out a stone, slung it, and struck the

Philistine on his forehead; the stone sank into his forehead,

and he fell face down on the ground.

Leader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. People: Thanks be to God!

*GOSPEL LESSON Rev. Coggins

Leader: The Gospel of the Lord according to Mark. People: Praise be to you, O Christ.

Mark 4:35-41: On that day, when evening had come, he said

to them, "Let us go across to the other side." And leaving the

crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he

was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and

the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already

being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the

cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, do

you not care that we are perishing?" He woke up and rebuked

the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind

ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, "Why

are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled

with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that

even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Leader: For the Word of God in Scripture. For the Word of God among us. For the Word of God within us.

People: Thanks be to God!

ACOLYTES ENTER ON LAST VERSE OF HYMN

*HYMN OF RESPONSE #425 How Firm a Foundation FOUNDATION

It seems odd now to think of singing this text to Adeste Fideles, but

the mainline churches did so well into the 20th century because of a

cultural bias against shape note music. The vigor of the present tune

seems especially right for the final line’s reference to Hebrews 13:5.

ACOLYTES EXTINGUISH THE LIGHT AND LEAD THE PASTORS OUT,

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace, strengthen them in their trials and temptations, give them courage to face the perils which beset them, and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
