          Call To Worship, "Blest Are They"    (Kitty Kosman & Michella Novy-piano)

Invocation,  Psalm 25:1-10 and Mat 5:1-12

Rev. Charles Neugebauer

First Lesson,  1 Timothy 1:12-17  (NIV) 

(The Lord's Grace to Paul.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Timothy 1

 12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service. 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

 15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 38 He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

 39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

 40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 "What do you want me to do for you?"
      "Lord, I want to see," he replied.

 42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you." 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.
