WELCOME ONE ANOTHER

* CALL TO WORSHIP
We gather today seeking the wisdom that comes from God.

May that wisdom shape the way we live and the way we love.

Where others are hurting or struggling,

Let us be people of mercy and compassion.

Where differences threaten to divide us,

Let us build bridges of understanding and grace.

Today we worship the one who forms us into a beloved, Christlike community.

With gratitude and hope, we worship the God who makes us one.

PRAYER
Gracious God, we come before you today grateful for your love and for the gift of this community of faith. You call us to live with humility, gentleness, and care for one another. Shape us into a church where people can experience the love of Christ—not only in the words we speak, but in how we treat one another. Teach us to see our differences not as things that divide us, but as opportunities to listen, to learn, and to grow together. May the way we live together reflect the love of Christ and offer others a glimpse of the beloved community you call us to be. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

PRAYER BEFORE SCRIPTURE READING
Gracious God, as I open these pages, open my heart to you. Give me wisdom to hear your voice, courage to trust your grace, and strength to live what I believe. Shape my words, my choices, and the way I love my neighbors. May the faith you have planted in me bear fruit in a life of compassion, mercy, justice, and love. Make my faith alive and active, so that through me, others may experience the love of Christ. Amen.

SCRIPTURE
James 3:13–4:10 | New Revised Standard Version, updated edition
13 Who is wise and knowledgeable among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be arrogant and lie about the truth. 15 This is not wisdom that comes down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. 16 For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

4 Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you? 2 You want something and do not have it, so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it, so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose that the scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the spirit that God caused to dwell in us desire envy? 6 But God gives all the more grace; therefore it says,

“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

These are the words of God for us, the people of God. Thanks be to God
