Above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed the Savior’s birth. ----- Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and everywhere; go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. ----- Down in a lowly manger, the humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. ----- Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and everywhere; go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. ----- Liturgy Read together in an attitude of prayer Please all stand and join in. ----- I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; ----- who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;* ----- the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick 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.

Matthew 14:22 ----- After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, Matthew 14:23 ----- and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Matthew 14:24 ----- Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. Matthew 14:25 ----- When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. Matthew 14:26 ----- But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27 ----- “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” Matthew 14:28 ----- “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. Matthew 14:29 ----- But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:30 ----- Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31 ----- And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Matthew 14:32 ----- Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:33 ----- Sermon Stepping Out of the Boat Brother Scott Russell ----- Hymn of Invitation Pass It On - Page 572 Please stand as We Sing ----- It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing. That’s how it is with God’s love once you’ve experienced it; you spread his love to everyone; you want to pass it on. ----- What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding; the birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming. That’s how it is with God’s love once you’ve experienced it; you want to sing, it’s fresh like spring, you want to pass it on. ----- I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I’ve found; you can depend on him; it matters not where you’re bound. I’ll shout it from the mountain top; I want my world to know; the Lord of love has come to me; I want to pass it on. ----- Closing Response Spirit Song - Page 347 Please stand as We Sing ----- O let the Son of God enfold you with his Spirit and his love. Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul. O let him have the things that hold you, and his Spirit, like a dove, will descend upon your life and make you whole. ----- Thank you for worshiping with us at the Marvell United Methodist Church Please join us each Sunday morning -----
