CALL TO WORSHIP
Shine, Jesus, Shine
by Graham Kendrick
Chorus
Shine, Jesus, Shine. Fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze. Set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow. Flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light.
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness, shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me, shine on me. Chorus
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display Your Likeness,
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me, shine on me. Chorus

Swing low, sweet chariot, comin’ for to carry me home,

I looked over Jordan and what did I see, comin’ for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin’ after me, comin’ for to carry me home.

If you get there before I do, comin’ for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I’m comin’ there too, comin’ for to carry me home.

The brightest day that ever I saw, comin’ for the carry me home,
When Jesus washed my sins away, comin’ for to carry me home.

I’m sometimes up, I’m sometimes down, comin’ for to carry me home,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound, comin’ for to carry me home.

Holy and merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against our sisters and
brothers and against you. We cherish the values of this world. We cause others to stumble. The earth is wounded by our excess. Have mercy, O God. Forgive us, renew us, and raise us up on eagles' wings, that we may do your will
with courage and delight. Amen.
Hear the voice from heaven: "You are my own, my beloved." God gives power to
the weary and strengthens the powerless. Be cleansed, be healed, for in the name of
+ Jesus Christ, I declare to you the forgiveness of your sins and the revealing of
God's reign. Amen.
* PRAYER OF THE DAY
Let us pray.
Almighty God, the resplendent light of your truth shines from the mountaintop

with your image, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Up to the mountain to be alone.
While they were watching Jesus was changed;
And they saw Moses face to face.

Come to the mountain to see the light
Come to the mountain to hear God’s word.
Go to the valley, it is your home.
Go to the valley to serve the Lord.

SCRIPTURE READINGS
FIRST READING: 2 Kings 2:1-12
Now when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2Elijah said to
Elisha, "Stay here; for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave
you." So they went down to Bethel. 3The company of prophets who were
in Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that today
the LORD will take your master away from you?" And he said, "Yes, I
know; keep silent." 4Elijah said to him, "Elisha, stay here; for the LORD
has sent me to Jericho." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you
yourself live, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho. 5The company of prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha, and said to
him, "Do you know that today the LORD will take your master away
from you?" And he answered, "Yes, I know; be silent." 6Then Elijah said
to him, "Stay here; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." But he said,
"As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So
the two of them went on. 7Fifty men of the company of prophets also
went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing
by the Jordan. 8Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck
the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the
two of them crossed on dry ground. 9When they had crossed, Elijah said
to Elisha, "Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you."
Elisha said, "Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit." 10He responded, "You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being
taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not." 11As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated
the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. 12Elisha
kept watching and crying out, "Father, father! The chariots of Israel and
its horsemen!" But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own
clothes and tore them in two pieces.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led
them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured
before them, 3and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on
earth could bleach them. 4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses,
who were talking with Jesus. 5Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good
for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for
Moses, and one for Elijah." 6He did not know what to say, for they were
terrified. 7Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there
came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved listen to him!" 8Suddenly
when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only
Jesus. 9As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell
no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen
from the dead.
This is the Word of the Lord.
