 Call to Worship
The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord.
Jesus humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross.
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord.
Therefore, God has exalted him and given him the name above every name.

Let us worship God in the name of Jesus Christ, our Servant Lord.
