Father’s Day Song, "Like My Father Does"  by Franz Jemuel

Offering and Doxology

Hymn, “The Family Of God”

Responsive Scripture
   Ephesians 6:1-17

 Children and Parents
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—

3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

4 Fathers,do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Bondservants and Masters
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for
whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten
them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is
in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world
and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of
evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you
have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,
with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the
gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God.

 Responsive Scripture
     Matthew 4:1-11

Jesus is Tested in the Wilderness

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread
alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. 
For it is written:“‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed
him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and
worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written:
‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Pulling up to the church the other day, the flowers were so bright and vivid, had to take picture. They are so much more stunning in person. We sure do enjoy them Nancy.
