CHILDREN’S MOMENT
1st Reading: Genesis 17:1–7
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.” 3 Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram[; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
Psalm: Psalm 121 (responsively)
Leader-1 I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come?
ALL- 2 My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth. 3 The Lord will not let your foot be moved
nor will the one who watches over you fall asleep.
ALL- 4 Behold, the keeper of Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep;
5 the Lord watches over you;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
ALL- 6 the sun will not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will preserve you from all evil
and will keep your life.
ALL- 8 The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in,
from this time forth forevermore.
HYMN OF THE DAY: Eternal Father, Strong to Save #756 vs1-2
SERMON: Pastor Katie – Believe – 5 Identity in Christ
READING: Luke 19:1–9
19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
