God is King: Let the earth be glad!
Christ is victor: his rule has begun!
The Spirit is at work: creation is renewed!
This world belongs to God!
Gospel Reading - Is Your Word Good!
33“Again, the law of Moses says, ‘You shall not break your vows to God but must fulfill them all.’ 34But I say: Don’t make any vows! And even to say ‘By heavens!’ is a sacred vow to God, for the heavens are God’s throne. 35And if you say ‘By the earth!’ it is a sacred vow, for the earth is his footstool. And don’t swear ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the capital of the great King. 36Don’t even swear ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37Say just a simple ‘Yes, I will’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.
. . . . .Matthew 5:33-37Confession
Yet as we consider our days, we confess:
Father, we fail to trust your goodness and might.
Jesus, we don’t live with you as our King.
Spirit, we doubt your work in this world.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
Silence
God forgives us, God sustains us.
We are being transformed by love.
Peace and grace are here.
We walk on
We walk on together to more truth,
More justice, more love.
Your Kingdom come on earth as in heaven.
Amen.
