Call to Worship: Responsive Psalm 107:25-32 ESV
Minister: God commanded & raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
Congregation: They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away… in their evil plight they were at their wits' end.
M: Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble & God delivered them from their distress.
C: The Lord made the storm be still & the waves of the sea were hushed.
M: Then they were glad that the waters were quiet & God brought them to their desired haven.
C: Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for God’s wondrous works to the children of man!
ALL: Let them extol the Lord in the congregation of the people & praise God in the assembly of the elders.

Hymn VU #316 “Praise Our Maker”
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:1-54
Mark 4:35-41 GNT – Jesus Calms a Storm
Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.”
They left the crowd; the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting & they took Jesus with them. Other boats were there too. Suddenly a strong wind blew up & the waves began to spill over into the boat, so that it was about to fill with water. Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with His head on a pillow. The disciples woke Jesus up & said, “Teacher, don't you care that we are about to die?”
Jesus stood up & commanded the wind,
“Be quiet!”
Jesus said to the waves,
“Be still!”
The wind died down & there was a great calm.
Then Jesus said to His disciples,
“Why are you frightened?
Do you still have no faith?”
But they were terribly afraid & began to say to one another, “Who is this man?
Even the wind & the waves obey Him!”
Message: “Power”
Affirmation of Faith VU #918 - Apostles’ Creed
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven & earth & in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead & buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven & sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick & the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body & the life everlasting. Amen.
