Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 378 - Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice: vv. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 - Acts 18:5-11: When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized. Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. - Devotion - The Earth Adorned (Psalm of Summer / Waldemar Åhlén): The earth adorned in verdant robe sends praises upward surging, While soft winds breathe on fragrant flow'rs from winter now emerging. The sunshine bright gives warmth and light to budding blossoms tender, proclaiming summer splendor. From out the wood, the birds now sing and each its song now raises, To join with all the universe in voicing thankful praises. With hope and joy, their songs employ a rapturous exaltation in praise of God's creation. Men du, o Gud, som gör vår jord så skön i sommarns stunder, Giv, att jag aktar främst ditt ord och dina nådesunder. Allt kött är hö och blomstren dö, och tiden allt fördriver; Blott Herrens ord förbliver. O God, amid these joys of life, creation's glory beaming, Grant us the grace to keep your Word and live in love redeeming. All flesh is grass, the flowers fade, and time is fleeting ever; God's Word remains forever. (Translation: Carolyn and Kenneth Jennings) - Prayer - Blessing - Announcement - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Kaleb Schmidt (Organist), Prof. Ann Fredrickson (Choir Director), Mary Martha Singers (Choral Group)

A ‘thought train’ is a process that follows a line of connecting thoughts or reasoning in your customers that takes a person from where they are mentally now to where you want them to be mentally after receiving your marketing messages. Kenneth Jennings joins us to explain this idea. Kenneth’s business sense and entrepreneurial passion began early – he started his first business at 13 years old selling garden seeds door-to-door. This adventure literally planted the seed that led him to start Texas Rekey Locksmith Service from the trunk of his car in 1995. The company was rebranded as Mr. Rekey Locksmith® Services when it expanded outside of Texas 10 years later. During the last 35 years, Kenneth has founded more than 40 businesses and spent time studying the success of other business leaders in thriving industries and applying them to his own business ventures. He also mentors numerous entrepreneurs in his hometown of Austin, Texas.  Today’s sponsor is Audible.com, a leading provider of spoken audio entertainment and information.
