Westminster Presbyterian Church

A New Way Forward

Westminster Presbyterian is Located in Uptown Phoenix, Just Minutes From Downtown.

4735 N. 19th Ave. Phoenix, AZ, 602-274-2122

Westminster's Mission

Westminster's mission is to support spiritual paths and help people build four daily Christian habits into their lives: thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving. These daily habits, based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the two Great Commandments, facilitate a closer relationship with God.

Westminster's Vision

Westminster's vision is that, as these four Christian habits strengthen — thankful, joyful, prayerful, and loving — outward behavior shifts in the same direction. This leads to a stronger relationship with both God and people.

Scripture Readings 


Proverbs 15:1-5, 18, 23 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)

A soft answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
    but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
   keeping watch on the evil and the good.
A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
A fool despises a parent’s instruction,
    but the one who heeds admonition is prudent.

Those who are hot-tempered stir up strife,
    but those who are slow to anger calm contention.

To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
    and a word in season, how good it is!


Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)

I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: 4 there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.


25 So then, putting away falsehood, let each of you speak the truth with your neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not make room for the devil. 28 Those who steal must give up stealing; rather, let them labor, doing good work with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths but only what is good for building up,[b] as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31 Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.


Sermon (Gale Watkins, Pastor)


Affirmation of Faith (from Brief Statement of Faith)

The same Spirit

who inspired the prophets and apostles

rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture,

engages us through the Word proclaimed,

claims us in the waters of baptism,

feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation,

and calls women and men to all ministries of the Church.

In a broken and fearful world

the Spirit gives us courage

to pray without ceasing,

to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior,

to unmask idolatries in Church and culture,

to hear the voices of peoples long silenced,

and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.

In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit,

we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks

and to live holy and joyful lives,

even as we watch for God’s new heaven and new earth,

praying, “Come, Lord Jesus!”


Hymn: “Take My Life” (Presbyterian Hymnal #391)


A Time of Prayer

Answers to Prayer and Prayer Requests

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession

The Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, 

thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread; 

and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; 

and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.


Offertory

Doxology 

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;
