THE LORD’S PRAYER
ANTHEM “On Eagle’s Wings” Chancel Choir *Prerecorded
SCRIPTURE & SERMON Rev. Dr. Robert Monk
Renewal | Psalm 23 & Psalm 103:1-5
The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters.
He revives my soul and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I shall fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me;
You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over,
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
Psalm 23
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits–who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:1-5
1). God is transforming life in the midst of our worst difficulties and tragedies
2). With God’s guidance we can and must love even those who trouble us
3). Life, even life at ninety, is a continual journey supported and surrounded by the Lord’s amazing gift of renewal
