The Paideia of the Lord

In ancient Greece and Rome, folks would talk about the paideia, a way of raising children to be able to inherit and steward their culture.  It was this term that Paul used to describe what it is Christian parents deliver to their children, but this paideia was the paideia of the Lord.  This week we begin to look at the greatest goals of parenting: to raise kids into the fear and paideia of the Lord.

Zeph. 3:14-17

CONFESSION OF FAITH (Nicene Creed)

We believe in one God,

      the Father almighty,

      maker of heaven and earth,

      of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

      the only Son of God,

      begotten from the Father before all ages,

           God from God,

           Light from Light,

           true God from true God,

      begotten, not made;

      of the same essence as the Father.

      Through him all things were made.

      For us and for our salvation

           he came down from heaven;

           he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,

           and was made human.

           He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;

           he suffered and was buried.

           The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.

           He ascended to heaven

           and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

           He will come again with glory

           to judge the living and the dead.

           His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the Lord, the giver of life.

      He proceeds from the Father and the Son,

      and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.

      He spoke through the prophets.

      We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

      We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

      We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,

      and to life in the world to come. Amen.

Come Thou Fount

Traditional Hymn

Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise His Name; I’m fixed upon it

Name of God’s redeeming love

Hither to thy love has blessed me

Thou hast brought me to this place

And I know thy hand will bring me

Safely home by thy good grace

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wand’ring from the fold of God

He, to rescue me from danger

Bought me with His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily I’m constrained to be

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter

Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

O that day when freed from sinning

I shall see thy lovely face

Full arrayed in blood-washed linen

How I'll sing thy sovereign grace

Come my Lord no longer tarry

Bring thy promises to pass

For I know thy pow'r will keep me

Till I'm home with thee at last

Your Great Name 

Covered by The Eagle & Child

Lost are saved find their way

At the sound of Your great Name

All condemned feel no shame

At the sound of Your great Name

Ev'ry fear has no place

At the sound of Your great Name

The enemy he has to leave

At the sound of Your great Name

Jesus worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us

The Son of God and man

You are high and lifted up

And all the world will praise Your great Name

Your great Name

All the weak find their strength

At the sound of Your great Name

Hungry souls receive grace

At the sound of Your great Name

The fatherless find their rest

At the sound of Your great Name

The sick are healed the dead are raised

At the sound of Your great Name

Redeemer my Healer Lord Almighty

Defender my Savior You are my King

SERMON

 

What A Friend/Tis So Sweet

Traditional Hymn arranged by Trinity Worship

 

What a friend we have in Jesus 

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry 

Everything to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit 

Oh what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry 

Everything to God in prayer

 

Have we trials and temptations 

Is there trouble anywhere

We should never be discouraged 

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful 

Who will all our sorrows share

Jesus knows our every weakness 

Take it to the Lord in prayer

 

Jesus Jesus How we trust You

How we’ve proved you o’er and o’er

Jesus Jesus precious Jesus

O for grace to trust You more

 

Are we weak and heavy laden 

Cumbered with a load of care

Precious Savior, still our refuge 

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee 

Take it to the Lord in prayer

In His arms He'll take and shield thee 

Thou wilt find a solace there

In His arms He'll take and shield thee 

Thou wilt find a solace there

 

COMMUNION

 

 

Crowns

by Hillsong Worship

 

There is a hill I cherish

Where stood a precious tree

The emblem of salvation

The gift of Calvary

 

How is it I should profit 

While He is crucified

Yet as His life was taken

So I was granted mine

 

My wealth is in the cross

There's nothing more I want

Than just to know His love

My heart is set on Christ and I will count all else as loss

The greatest of my crowns means nothing to me now

For I counted up the cost

And all my wealth is in the Cross

 

I will not boast in riches

I have no pride in gold

But I will boast in Jesus

And in His Name alone

 

And when I stand in glory 

My crowns before the Lord 

Let this be my confession 

My wealth is in the cross

 

From Whom All Blessings Flow (Doxology)

Hillsong Worship

What gift of love could I offer to a King

What weight or worth could be held within my offering

When He alone is worthy

A glory song is inscribed upon my heart

This treasure held in an alabaster jar I break

To bring Him all the glory

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

What sacrifice could be equal to His own

The cross of Christ has declared

 that there is nought I owe

Yet I know I owe Him all

Our Father God the infinite

The matchless King mag - nificent

The living Christ the servant Son

The prophesied the saving One

The Holy Ghost gift from above

The faithful Friend the seal of love

This life, this heart this song to Him

My all in all my everything

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all Creatures here below

Praise him above ye heavenly host

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Amen
