Building Community Transforming Lives Engaging the World

june 29, 2014

Second Presbyterian Church is a welcoming community of faith where Jesus Christ transforms lives through:

worship, as we praise and glorify God;

mission, as we embody God’s love in service to the world;

discipleship, as we listen for God’s Word;

giving, as we express gratitude to God;

fellowship, as we love and care for one another.

Special Music Christ Hath a Garden Richard Farlee

Christ hath a garden walled around, A Paradise of fruitful ground, Chosen by love and fenced by grace From out the world’s wide wilderness.

Like trees of spice his servants stand, There planted by his mighty hand; By Eden’s gracious streams, that flow To feed their beauty where they grow.

Awake, O wind of heav’n and bear Their sweetest perfume through the air: Stir up, O south, the boughs that bloom, Till the beloved Master come:

That he may come, and linger yet Among the trees that he hath set; That he may evermore be seen To walk amid the springing green.

Prayer of illumination

Scripture Reading Song of Songs 2:8-17 (p. 612)

Message Richard Baker

“one Foot in Perfected eden” “Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come...” (Song of Songs 2:10-12)

Recognition of new Members

One Foot in Perfected Eden[W]henever in the Song of Songs the lovers step outdoors or imagine themselves there, they enter an Eden, a nature furnished only with beautiful, fruitful, and sweet-smelling flora and populated by fauna far from red in tooth and claw, where even rainy weather appears as something just past that brought the flowers. Also, the comparison of the lover to roe-stage, or gazelle, instead of, for example, lion or stallion--far greater compliments in macho societies--evokes the freedom and harmlessness of beasts in that first garden.

The love between the Lord and Israel is conflicted like all loves that must play out in this age, and other parts of the Song of Songs show that. Yet where the Lord is, there is what Christians have come to call “heaven”: the anticipation with God of the final kingdom and just so of Eden’s fulfillment, of the beautiful and peaceable kingdom. Where the Lord comes, in the reading of the Torah or the celebration of the Eucharist or in any of a hundred events of his “real presence” among his people, something of the final and first-intended fulfillment opens to our experience; we are in “the gate of heaven,” as Martin Luther described the church. We have one foot in perfected Eden. And there we are even now one with the Lord.

--Robert W. Jenson, Song of Songs, Interpretation, A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching.

Jesus Christ the Apple TreeAn 18th-Century Hymn

1. The tree of life my soul hath seen, Laden with fruit and always green The trees of nature fruitless be Compared with Christ the apple tree.

2. His beauty doth all things excel: By faith I know, but ne’er can tell The glory which I now can see In Jesus Christ the apple tree.

3. For happiness I long have sought, And pleasure dearly I have bought I missed of all; but now I see ‘Tis found in Christ the apple tree.

4. I’m weary with my former toil, Here I will sit and rest awhile: Under the shadow I will be, Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.

5. This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, It keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the apple tree.

* Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed (Ecumenical) Rachel Hood

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; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on 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. Amen.

Church - MusicSweetest of sweets, I thank you: when displeasure Did through my body wound my mind,You took me thence, and in your house of pleasure A dainty lodging me assigned.

Now I in you without a body move, Rising and falling with your wings:We both together sweetly live and love, Yet say sometimes, “God help poor Kings.”

Comfort, I’ll die; for if you post from me, Sure I shall do so, and much more:But if I travel in your company, You know the way to heaven’s door.

--George Herbert (1633)
