Order of Small Group Devotion - Epiphany
Leader: In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen
SILENT PRAYER
Leader: The Lord be with you.
All: And with your spirit.
Psalm 62:5-12 (ESV)
Leader: For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
All: He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall
not be shaken.
Leader: On God rests my salvation and my glory, my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
All: Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your
heart before him;
Leader: Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up, they are together lighter than a breath.
All: Put no trust in extortion, set no vain hopes on
robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
Leader: Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
All: and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you
will render to a man
according to his work.
Glory
be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Leader:
1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (ESV)
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Therefore, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Leader: Let Us Bless the Lord
All: Thanks be to God
Leader: The almighty and merciful God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, bless us and keep us.
All: Amen
