Call to Worship (Colossians 3:16)
Let the message of Christ dwell among
you richly as you teach and admonish
one another with all wisdom through
psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit,
singing to God with gratitude in your
hearts.

Scripture Reading (Deuteronomy 5:28-33)
The Lord heard you when you spoke to me,
and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what
this people said to you. Everything they said
was good. 29 Oh, that their hearts would be
inclined to fear me and keep all my commands
always, so that it might go well with them
and their children forever!
30 “Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But
you stay here with me so that I may give you all
the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach
them to follow in the land I am giving them to
possess.”
32 So be careful to do what the Lord your God
has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right
or to the left. 33 Walk in obedience to all that the
Lord your God has commanded you, so that you
may live and prosper and prolong your days in the
land that you will possess.
