OFFERTORY PRAYER
John Huneycutt
God of infinite patience, as the children of Israel sought an earthly king over your
heavenly rule, so too we have too often put our hope and trust in flawed human beings
to rule over us. We complain when they disappoint us in their inability to bring change,
yet we have failed to see that the change that you would seek for creation must come
from within us. As we offer our tithes and offerings to you this day, may we also lay
down our resistance to allowing you to be the one who rules our lives, not from the
outside but from the inside. And may the gifts we give help shape a world that better fits
your vision for creation. In the name of Christ, we pray. Amen.

As your classes and grading are now complete,
may you strive toward excellence in all you do.
As the speeches conclude,
may your voices rise up to pronounce justice and peace in the world.
As the fanfares cease,
may you sing of joy, even in the dark and lonely places.
As the applause quiets, may you celebrate and lift up those around you.
As you graduate or have graduated,
may your achievements grow and cause growth in your communities.
And may we all know of the overwhelming blessings of the One who created all things.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
2 Corinthians 13:3-9 HCSB
3 Since you seek proof of Christ speaking in me. He is not weak toward you, but
powerful among you. 4 In fact, He was crucified in weakness, but He lives by God’s
power. For we also are weak in Him, yet toward you we will live with Him by God’s
power. 5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you
yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless you fail the test. 6 And I
hope you will recognize that we do not fail the test. 7 Now we pray to God that you do
nothing wrong—not that we may appear to pass the test, but that you may do what is
right, even though we may appear to fail. 8 For we are not able to do anything against
the truth, but only for the truth. 9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak and you are
strong. We also pray that you become fully mature.
