From One Glory to Another – Transfiguration Sunday

The Lord is great in Zion;
He is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise Your great and awesome Name.
Holy is He!
Mighty King, lover of justice, You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Moses and Aaron were among His priests, Samuel also called on His name.
They cried to the Lord, and He answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They kept His decrees, and the statutes that He gave them.
O Lord our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them,
But an avenger of their wrongdoings.
Extol the Lord our God, and worship at His holy mountain;
For the Lord our God is holy. – from Psalm 99

We welcome you to Morning Worship today. Our Call to Worship is from Psalm 99, and our Scripture passage is 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2. Pastor Benjamin Wines brings the message, “From One Glory to Another”.

Imperishable

“Imperishable” – Rev. Benjamin Wines

Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers,
For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
So you will live in the land, and enjoy security.
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
And the justice of your cause like the noonday.
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret over those who prosper in their way, who carry out evil devices.
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret — it leads only to evil.
For the wicked shall be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their refuge in the time of trouble. Psalm 37:1-9, 39

All in All

Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
Or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;
But their delight is in the law of the Lord,
And on His law they meditate day and night.
They are like trees planted by streams of water,
Which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish. – from Psalm 1

“All in All” – Rev. Benjamin Wines

I Am What I Am

I give You thanks O Lord, with my whole heart;
Before the gods I sing Your praise;
I bow down towards your holy temple
And give thanks for Your steadfast love and faithfulness;
For You have exalted Your Name and Word above everything.
On the day I called, You answered me, You strengthened my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
For they have heard the Words of Your Mouth.
They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the Glory of the Lord.
For though the Lord is high, He regards the lowly;
But the haughty He perceives from far away.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
You preserve me against the wrath of my enemies.
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me;
Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.

From Psalm 138

Face to Face

In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
Incline Your ear to me and save me.
Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
From the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
For You, O Lord, are my hope,
My trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon You I have leaned from my birth;
It was You who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of You. – from Psalm 71

One and the Same Spirit

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your judgments are like the great deep;
You save humans and animals alike, O Lord.
How precious is Your steadfast love, O God!
All people may take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They feast on the abundance of Your House,
And You give them drink from the river of Your delights.
For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your Light we see light.
O continue Your steadfast love to those who know You,
And Your Salvation to the upright of heart! – from Psalm 36

Baptized in Water

Baptized in Water – Rev. Benjamin Wines

Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name;
Worship the Lord in holy splendor.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness.
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
The Lord sits enthroned as King forever.
May the Lord give strength to His people!
May the Lord bless His people with peace!

Words Have Meanings Redux

Words Have Meanings Redux – Rev. Benjamin Wines

For Sunday, January 2, 2022, we will meet virtually. You can watch the livestream of today’s service, starting at 10:45AM via this link. (You can also watch the service at a later time on the HVBC YouTube channel).

In the beginning was the Word,
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being through Him,
And without Him not one thing came into being.
What has come into being in Him was life,
And the life was the light of all people.
The light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness did not overcome it.
The True Light, which enlightens everyone,
Was coming into the world.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us,
And we have seen His glory,
The glory as of a Father’s only Son,
Full of grace and truth.

from John 1

We will be reading from Luke 2:41-52 today.

The Prophets Sing

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His host!
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you shining stars!
Praise Him, you highest heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the Name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.
He established them forever and ever;
He fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.
Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for His Name alone is exalted;
His glory is above earth and heaven.Psalm 148:1-6, 13
