17. 5. Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,

18. give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.

19. *Opening Prayer
O God, we hear the call of Jesus over our lives’ wild restless sea. Help us to pay more attention to what we have heard in Your Word, so that we will not drift away. We want to love You with wholeness of heart and our neighbors as ourselves. Transform our wants into commitment, deep desire, and obedience. Transform us, we pray. Amen.

against us.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.

45. Scripture Reading
Mathew 16:15-18
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

46. Scripture Reading
II Corinthians 2:12-14
12 When I came to Troas to proclaim the good news of Christ, a door was opened for me in the Lord; 13 but my mind could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said farewell to them and went on to Macedonia. 14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads in every place the fragrance that comes from knowing him.
