Joe Parisi is up next with a busy week of economic reports that affect interest rates...

God calls us to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him (Romans 12:1). In this message, we'll explore what it means to surrender everything to God and live a life fully devoted to His purpose. True worship isn't just about songs or moments—it's about daily choosing to lay down our desires and take up our cross. Discover how giving your life as a sacrifice leads to true freedom, purpose, and fulfillment in Christ.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. The InvitatoryLord, open our lips.And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia. Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)Our King and Savior now draws near: Come, let us adore him.Come, let us sing to the Lord; * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods.In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * and the heights of the hills are his also.The sea is his, for he made it, * and his hands have molded the dry land.Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!Our King and Savior now draws near: Come, let us adore him. The PsalterPsalm 119: AlephBeati immaculatiBCP p. 763Happy are they whose way is blameless, *who walk in the law of the Lord!Happy are they who observe his decrees *and seek him with all their hearts!Who never do any wrong, *but always walk in his ways.You laid down your commandments, *that we should fully keep them.Oh, that my ways were made so direct *that I might keep your statutes!Then I should not be put to shame, *when I regard all your commandments.I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, *when I have learned your righteous judgments.I will keep your statutes; *do not utterly forsake me. Psalm 119: BethIn quo corrigit?BCP p. 764How shall a young man cleanse his way? *By keeping to your words.With my whole heart I seek you; *let me not stray from your commandments.I treasure your promise in my heart, *that I may not sin against you.Blessed are you, O Lord; *instruct me in your statutes.With my lips will I recite *all the judgments of your mouth.I have taken greater delight in the way of your decrees *than in all manner of riches.I will meditate on your commandments *and give attention to your ways.My delight is in your statutes; *I will not forget your word. Psalm 119: GimelRetribue servo tuoBCP p. 764Deal bountifully with your servant, *that I may live and keep your word.Open my eyes, that I may see *the wonders of your law.I am a stranger here on earth; *do not hide your commandments from me.My soul is consumed at all times *with longing for your judgments.You have rebuked the insolent; *cursed are they who stray from your commandments!Turn from me shame and rebuke, *for I have kept your decrees.Even though rulers sit and plot against me, *I will meditate on your statutes.For your decrees are my delight, *and they are my counselors. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. LessonsIsa. 2:1-11A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.    It shall come to pass in the latter days        that the mountain of the house of the Lord    shall be established as the highest of the mountains,        and shall be lifted up above the hills;    and all the nations shall flow to it,    and many peoples shall come, and say:    “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,        to the house of the God of Jacob,    that he may teach us his ways        and that we may walk in his paths.”    For out of Zion shall go forth the law,        and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.    He shall judge between the nations,        and shall decide disputes for many peoples;    and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,        and their spears into pruning hooks;    nation shall not lift up sword against nation,        neither shall they learn war anymore.            O house of Jacob,        come, let us walk        in the light of the Lord.                For you have rejected your people,        the house of Jacob,    because they are full of things from the east        and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines,        and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.    Their land is filled with silver and gold,        and there is no end to their treasures;    their land is filled with horses,        and there is no end to their chariots.    Their land is filled with idols;        they bow down to the work of their hands,        to what their own fingers have made.    So man is humbled,        and each one is brought low—        do not forgive them!    Enter into the rock        and hide in the dust    from before the terror of the Lord,        and from the splendor of his majesty.    The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,        and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,    and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you;You are the Lord: we acclaim you;You are the eternal Father:All creation worships you.To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory.The glorious company of apostles praise you.The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;Father, of majesty unbounded,your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of deathand opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory.We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. 1 Thess. 2:13-20A Reading from the First Letter to the Thessalonians.And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!  But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face, because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us. For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you? For you are our glory and joy.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersThe Lord be with you.And also with you.Let us pray.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 and ever. Amen. Suffrages AV. Show us your mercy, O Lord;R. And grant us your salvation.V. Clothe your ministers with righteousness; R. Let your people sing with joy.V. Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;R. For only in you can we live in safety. V. Lord, keep this nation under your care;R. And guide us in the way of justice and truth.V. Let your way be known upon earth;R. Your saving health among all nations.V. Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;R. Nor the hope of the poor be taken away.V. Create in us clean hearts, O God;R. And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.   The CollectsAdvent 1Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Daily Collects:A Collect for PeaceO God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.A Collect for GraceO Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Take a moment of silence at this time to reflect and pray for others. Collect of Saint BasilO Christ God, Who art worshipped and glorified at every place and time; Who art long-suffering, most merciful and compassionate; Who lovest the righteous and art merciful to sinners; Who callest all to salvation with the promise of good things to come: receive, Lord, the prayers we now offer, and direct our lives in the way of Thy commandments. Sanctify our souls, cleanse our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our minds and deliver us from all affliction, evil and illness. Surround us with Thy holy angels, that guarded and instructed by their forces, we may reach unity of faith and the understanding of Thine unapproachable glory: for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen
