Worship Service: Matthew 13:24-43 (The Village Chapel - 8/14/2022)

What kind of world do you really want to live in?

A pop song from 1985 declared, “Everybody wants to rule the world!” But how would that work? And is that the kind of world we really want to live in? Chapter 13 of the Gospel According to Matthew records 7 parables of Jesus in which Jesus describes what He calls, “the kingdom of heaven.”

Join Pastor Jim as he helps us understand exactly what Jesus meant by that term and the astonishing joy, hope and peace Jesus offers our broken world, when we begin to live with Jesus as our king! (40:01)

(8:19) Call to Worship: Psalm 118

LEADER: Give thanks to the Lord for He is good;
PEOPLE: His faithful love endures forever.

LEADER: Let those who fear the Lord say,
PEOPLE: “His faithful love endures forever.”

LEADER: Open the gates of righteousness for me;
PEOPLE: I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.

ALL: This is the gate of the Lord;
The righteous will enter through it.
I will give thanks to You because You have answered me
and have become my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
This came from the Lord; it is wonderful in our eyes.

LEADER: This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
ALL: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
(37:48) Creed: What is God?
(Source: Westminster Shorter Catechism, Questions 4, 5 & 6)

LEADER: What is God?
PEOPLE: God is a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

LEADER: Are there more gods than one?
PEOPLE: There is but one only, the living and true God.

LEADER: How many persons are there in the Godhead?
PEOPLE: There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.
