Linux Systems Administrator I Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at Rackspace in January 2015.
Hiring and interview process was easy and everyone seemed really friendly. I felt like I nailed every interview but got denied for the position anyway because someone else was more qualified.
Rackspace recruiters contacted me the first time for a DevOps position and they denied me for that position after getting my hopes up. Then they flew me out a second time the for Linux Administrator position and denied me the second time. I'm not letting this company waste anymore of my time.
- During the in person interview they asked some crazy off the wall scenario that I had never experienced before and therefore couldn't answer... nothing a little research wouldn't have solved. Answer Question

Linux Systems Administrator I InterviewInterview Details
Initial interview, very basic and probably easy for someone with any sort of formal education with Linux command line. The interviewer was very courteous, which made my utter inability to pass the initial interview that much more frustrating. Remember: if working with something becomes reflexive in day-to-day work, you may be unable to answer basic questions about it, similar to how a native speaker of a language doesn't think about the grammatical rules underpinning his or her sentences.Interview Questions

- Having worked in a very specific Linux shop for awhile, I couldn't answer basic questions in this interview without having a terminal in front of me. Think for a second before passing on any questions, or you will feel like an idiot. Answer Question
Linux Systems Administrator I InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Rackspace in February 2014.Interview Details
The first interview I had was on the phone, with the recruiter. She asked me basic questions about previous work history, current work experience - Nothing too difficult or technical here. She then bounced me around to another recruiter, who later set me up with another phone interview.
The second phone interview was with a manager from Austin Rackspace. So there was some technical discussion involved - basic Linux / bash, iptables, resource usage troubleshooting, how to find information about the system and so forth. This is not very difficult if you have relevant experience.
The manager, after determining that you are technically proficient enough, will set you up (through the recruiter) for a TrueAbility test. TrueAbility allows you to log onto a server set up exclusively for Rackspace technical questions (traditionally called a "break box" fix or test).
The server was Centos and the questions were mostly about Apache2, Postfix, PHP, and mySQL. Please be expected to identify / edit / fix each service's configuration files. You will also need to utilize basic bash / mysql cli skills in this test (for example, how to place all incoming TCP connections into a file; or, how to import/export databases from mysql cli).
I had one hour to work on this. As you are by yourself, you can Google as needed.
Each follow-up from Rackspace took about a week or a week and a half through the recruiter via email.
My new recruiter let me know that they'd like to see me in person. So, I was set up with my 4th interview in person, in the Austin office. Prior to this, you have to set up a "racker talent" online profile where you essentially fill in another official application.
This interview was by far the most difficult. It was three hours long, and consisted of two 1.5 hour interviews with three people each. The first section of people were all admins, higher tier. They had me sit on a company laptop which was hooked up to a TV in an interviewing office. From there, they had me enter screen and asked me some Linux quiz-like questions; their expectation is to have you display as much as skill as possible. Be prepared for scrutiny. They will ask you additional technical questions, i.e. to elaborate on a particular command, or to explain what something would be used for in a real-life situation.
If you are not familiar with x, but you bring up x anyways, they may prod you to make sure you REALLY understand what it is you're talking about. To some degree, I suspect they are trying to understand technical limits. Do your homework! And if you're really not sure, say so; we are all human, after all. I learned a few things after walking away from this interview for sure.
The second half of the interview was their HR team; they asked about customer relationships, and how you handle yourself in certain environments, as well as what steps you'd take in particular situations. Example: What would you do if you accidentally deleted a customer's database, even if you could restore it in 30 seconds? Or: If you had to reboot a customer's server to resolve an issue, how would you handle that?
I didn't get an offer after this interview - I got a voicemail stating they'd made a decision, and that other candidates were chosen. This was understandable because of some lack of technical knowledge.
Three months later, a recruiter contacted me, inquiring about another phone interview. They wanted to give me a 2nd chance since I'd made a good impression the first time around. The phone interview was nothing special, just re-hashing everything I'd gone through and discussed so far with the team. On the same call, the recruiter set up another in-person interview in the Austin office.
The interview was still three hours. However, this time I had three one-hour sessions with two people each hour. Instead of having technical and relationship questions separated, all three sessions combined the subjects. For some questions there was a whiteboard - "Draw me an example of a basic Apache VirtualHost." "If you had all the money in the world, what kind of servers would you set up and why?"
Other questions that I remember:
"If a customer stated their website was slow, what exact steps would you do to troubleshoot it?"
"If a website was reported as completely 'down', what would you do?"
There are many "stream of consciousness" technical questions like these - they can be very open to interpretation. Don't feel obliged to reply perfectly, just tell them what you'd do, and how you'd do it.
Of course, there are also questions such as, "Are you familiar with our products, and can you explain them to us?" "What do you know about load balancing?" "Have you worked with mySQL replication?"
About a week and a half later, the recruiter called me back with an offer which I accepted.Interview Questions

I received an email from a recruiter asking me if I wanted to talk about a position at Rackspace and decided to see what it was all about. The process for me was about 6 parts. 2 hands on technical, a culture fit interview, a verbal technical, and a couple HR/screening interviews.

Linux Systems Administrator I InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Rackspace in August 2012.Interview Details
The hiring process took around a month from first contact applying through the website to the final interview and response.
I have to say that I have interviewed with a number of companies. The best are the ones kind enough to tell you straight out that they are not interested and not leaving you hanging. In this respect, I do appreciate that feedback. The exception that I have during this interview process is the lack of coordination on behalf of RackSpace. Never have I had a prospective employer miss a scheduled interview. On top of that, I've never had one miss 3 in a row. These were phone interviews, mind you, so I suppose that's easy to overlook, but it just shows a lack of class.
When RackSpace actually followed through with the phone interviews, they went smoothly enough. First was with an HR type going through a litany of command line questions and displaying basic concepts of Linux. Second phone interview was with an level 3 admin with random open ended questions and hypothetical situations that may arise in production environments. The final interview that I had with them was an in-person. They were gracious enough to hold the interview at 10 PM to fit my work schedule ( which I really appreciated and thought was VERY cool ). However, when I arrived at the Austin offices, the contact phone number I was given to enter the building went straight to voicemail with a message saying they were on vacation. Imagine my surprize. I resorted to driving around the building trying to find someone who I might be able to convince ( with my strange excuse ) that I have an interview at 10. Luckily and by chance I did find the person who was to interview me sitting outside in the smoking/break area. Weird right?
After being let into the building, I was introduced to the level 3 admin who held my phone interview, another level 2, and the department manager. There I was asked about my prior experiences, my current position, what computers I had, and then technical questions. I was then interviewed by the department manager and a Windows admin. I felt that the technical questions were fair.
After all the hoop jumping and interview rescheduling I was offered an automated reply about a week later letting me know that they appreciated my time but were not interested in proceeding further in the hiring process. It's understandable that I would be embittered by the rejection and I was. However, it didn't really get to me until I started to hear about the other people that they hired instead. People that you would think twice about letting them have any kind of administrative access. Truly terrifying.
This was the worst series of interviews that I have ever have and really changed my outlook on the company as a whole. I really did think that they had everything together as a company. Turns out it's just all show.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Rackspace in September 2011.Interview Details
The process begins with an initial phone screen during which broad questions are asked such as port numbers for common services. After completing the phone screen, you may be selected to perform a break-fix where you SSH into a server with a list of items to fix. You will launch a screen session for someone to monitor you resolving these issues. The final step is an on-site interview which typically consists of three one-hour sessions with two people interviewing you in each session.Interview Questions

Impatiens walleriana with multiple stems
I bought some Impatiens from a nursery.
after they grew i took some cuttings and sowed some seeds.
There are not very large yet but still, even now they look like they are developing very differently from the ones that i got from the nursery.
The Impatiens plants from the nursery has about 4-6 stems that comes out of the ground and they are all one plant, not just one stem branched but more like a bush, roots that produced several stems.
The Ones i make from cuttings and seeds has just one stem.
This stem did not branched yet, but even so , it looks like it is going to get branched above ground and relatively high on the stem (even if i will pinch it at the top).
meaning it looks like it is going to get branched but not add more stems.
when the nursery plants are branched very low on the stem, and has several stems that come out of the ground just a bit spaced from one other.
how to they do that?
how do the nurseries produce small plants which has several stems?
Is this just a matter of time?
do they take cuttings and stick a well branched part of the plant covered in the soil in a way that few stems are covered with soil?

Prolegomena To The History Of Israel
Kessinger Publishing, Jun 1, 2004 - History - 376 pages
Originally Published by Scholars PressNow Available from Duke University Press Julius Wellhausen's "Prolegomena to the History of Israel, "first published in German in 1878, ranks among the best-known and most influential studies ever produced by a biblical scholar. In it Wellhausen seeks to determine how one can draw historical conclusions from the documentary sources identified in the biblical text. Focusing on religious practices and on the distinctive viewpoints of the authors and editors, he develops contrasting pictures of preexilic and postexilic Israel. This classic treatment of some of the enduring problems faced by historians of Israel is here reprinted in its original English translation, accompanied by the historical survey Wellhausen wrote in 1881 for the "Encyclopeadia Britannica" as well as a foreword by Douglas A. Knight.

Five stars for historical consequence. Wellhausen's original hypothesis about the editor/authorship of the Pentateuch have gone through significant revision through the decades, but the Documentary Hypothesis continues to stimulate debate in the scholarly study of the Old Testament.

Customer Reviews
Wish I could use it from my actual keyboard
Love the app and all the cute new emojis but I wish I could use it as an actual keyboard like the other version. I use a lot of group messages and having to go into the app every time makes it annoying to use. If it was easier to access I would probably buy it. Also I wish there was a spitting tongue and eye roll option.
More emojis and how to text with em
I really think that you need mother emojis on there for like 10 year olds I am 15 AND still like to text with emojis there are few emojis so do everyone a favor shhhh or put 1500 emojis on there I will count and get back to u on that people. Everyone should be aloud to text with the animated people or creatures what ever you wanna call em I do not care what you guys say just please please please put more emojis on there !👩
Out of boredom
I just got this app because I wanted to send some fun emoticons to my friends and not have to use Facebook messenger. Evern though I used it for like 1 min, I'm already having so much fun with the animated emoticons. I made a friend laugh also :)
Although the ads does get a bit repetitive every time I open the app, that doesn't really stop me from using this app.

About 2500 ft. lbs of energy difference give or take a few. There is no comparison between the two. The 06 wins that fight.
When all else fails.
Difference is same as difference between a Mo-ped and a Mack Truck.
The 17 HMR is a rimfire shooting a 17 or 20 grain bullet. The 30-06 is a centerfire shooting a 150-220 grain bullet. .17 HMR has about 245 ft lbs muzzle energy, the 30-06 about 2,900. .17 is a great target round at 100 meters, and kills prairie dogs. The 30-06 is a great target round at 900 meters, and kills moose, elk, and small armored vehicles.

"Who says squirrels aren't white? Them's fightin' words Mister!"
The local news said white squirrels were born earlier this year on the grounds of Charles River Park. I've seen Spirit Bear (black bear with white fur) in the Great Rainforest and a leucistic robin in Back Bay Boston, but never a white squirrel. So on a beautiful September afternoon, off I went in search of another white spirit. Not to disappoint, found 3 grown and feisty triplets who the neighbors have named Marshmallow, Snowflake and Cream Cheese. Not sure of his name but this guy will challenge anyone who doesn't believe in white squirrels and prove he's no Marshmallow!

What a great find, looks like he has his fistercuffs ready for a scrap xx
Thrilled to find them. Walked throughout the grounds with no luck, so went to the grocery store nearby. Luckily decided to walk back the same way and then, there they were! Quite a challenge to balance a long lens, catch them in view and focus before the scrappy bundles of energy bounded off again. But great fun and got a few shots I liked so, I warn you, I'll be sharing more… ;-) Thanks Lynn!

To operate the latch the free side member ofthe panel has opposite arm 17 a hole 20,

In today's internet world, you get almost anything with the click of a button. One can simply sit back and enjoy the comfort of online shopping for everything under the sun. When things look so easy and convenient it's hard to realise that there can be a downside to it.
Before the internet became so omnipresent, wholesalers profited by controlling the prices of the goods. They acted as an effective link between the producer and the consumer, benefitting all three in the equation. So, the producer gets his goods to be sold for a good price, the wholesaler helps reach the goods far and wide than a producer can think of to earn his profit and the consumer gets a good price for the product.
But modern day technologies such as the internet and high-end logistics are throwing small-scale wholesalers out of business. This holds true in the case of a gifts wholesaler whose products are mostly hand-made and are produced on a small-scale without the use of expensive machines. They also lose out to competition due to this fact and are not preferred by modern day businesses. So how does the gifts wholesaler survive the situation? The only option he has is to expand his customer base or focus on special products that have a good business scope. Contact sales +44 (0)1446 700533 to expand your sale worldwide. Otherwise, a gifts wholesaler may turn into a thing of the past like the gramophone or the dial-up phones.

window only opens 11.5 inches
anggi821July 21, 2011
I have thermal guard (yuck) windows that have these tabs (?) in the top of the window track that do not allow the window to open more than 11.5 inches. If I could take them out, I could open the window another 4 inches to put in an air conditioner. Does anyone know if these tabs are removable? They look like they should be, but I don't want to mess them up if they are not. TIA, Anggi
You should be able to cut them back. The main purpose is to provide a stop that prevents the lock from slamming into the top lift rail. However many manufacturers make them an inch or more longer than they need to be, so cutting them and leaving them just long enough to protect the lift rail should be fine.

Boaters, email us to stay informed. Have questions? Please read through our drawspan obstruction common questions and answers document to learn more.
Vessels more than 58 feet tall will not be able to navigate beyond SR 520 until the existing bridge is removed from Lake Washington, currently planned for late 2016. The new floating bridge will not have a drawspan, but the east navigation channel will be 70 feet tall, the same as the I-90 East Channel Bridge.
The west navigation channel will shift slightly west, to its permanent location. See Section A in the graphic. (pdf 200 kb) Click image for printable version. (pdf 200 kb) SR 520 Navigation Channel Restrictions In April 2014, the new bridge's western-most pontoon was moored in its permanent location, 50 feet north of the existing bridge near Madison Park. The pontoon is located on the west side of the existing 206-foot-wide channel, reducing the channel width to 120 feet. The narrower channel is marked by traditional red and green buoy channel markers. This new configuration (pdf 596 kb) will be in place until additional pontoons are joined with Pontoon A.
A new exclusion zone is also active immediately north and south of the pontoon. This off-limits zone is marked by six white buoys and a sign on each end of the pontoon. Please note, the white buoys represent the locations of the anchor lines and it is dangerous to pass between the sign and the buoys.
The east navigation channel under the SR 520 bridge is currently operating with reduced clearance. Navigational clearances are higher on the east side of the channel, but obstructions north of the channel reduce the navigational height to 58 feet. Boats taller than 58 feet should not attempt to navigate through the channel.
If your vessel, mast or other aerial equipment is over 58 feet tall and cannot be lowered please do not attempt to navigate around the floating bridge.
What do drivers need to know ? On Tuesday, Feb. 17, newly placed pontoons obstructed the drawspan of the existing bridge, permanently blocking marine passage through the bridge opening. While openings will no longer occur for marine traffic, crews will still need to open the drawspan for monthly, late-night maintenance work. High winds may also require an opening to relieve stress on the existing bridge.

Rhododendron (azalea) kiusianum 'Album'
Anyone with a first hand experience?
Info on a net is somewhat conflicting.
Some sourses quoting 6x6, another saying 'suitable for bonsai', third saying semi-dwarf, prostrate.
I just bought 3 of them and they doesn't look like they are going to be prostrate, nor they doesn't look like 'to be 6x6'.
My intention was to plant them as a group of 3 to create a one wide and not so tall shrub. Now I'm confused.
I still could return them if that wouldn't work.
Please advise.
Maingrower, thanks, that is a good news. I'm looking to have something like 2x5-6' to fullfill space between two yaku rh. planted 10' apart, so group of 3 will work fast.
When it blooms for you and would it tolerate a lot of winter sun?
Does it stay evergreen or loses most of its leaves in a winter?
Leaves don't stay around much, but really nice otherwise. 6' x 6' plant would be old or drawn up. Listed as 'White form' by Greer, 'Guidebook to Available Rhododendrons': "Quite probably the finest plant in the Azalea series, it will never fail to attract attention."
It generally blooms late May to early June (after yakusimanum). Loses most of its leaves in the winter, as do all forms of kiusanum here even with deep snow cover. Winter sun has never been a problem. The k. album is in a southwestern facing bed so receives quite a bit of winter sun from early afternoon on. Incidentally, this was one of the few rhododendrons to bloom fully after the extreme conditions of Jan/Feb 04.
Thank you, gents.
Sounds like intended spot will work perfectly.
It will fill space between the yakus and bloom NOT at the same time. Exactly what I was looking for.
Since they droping most of the leaves, I hope winter sun wouldn't be an issue as they will be in a full sun whole day in a winter untill yakus will be able to provide some shelter.
I'd think the evergreen rhododendrons would be more likely to get burned than the deciduous one. While both of these particular ones are subzero hardy, generally the deciduous habit is associated with winter conditions (except for deciduous tropicals, that defoliate because of seasonal drought or flooding) that are too severe for broadleaf evergreen foliage. Here on the west coast native broadleaf evergreens are few in number in the PNW, but as soon as you get into Californian conditions (milder winters) in southern Oregon the broadleaf evergreens start to really give the conifers a run for their money, resulting in the 'mixed evergreen forest'.
satsuki azalea Shogetsu is sometimes called by it English name, Shining Moon.
It is available at Sonoma Horticultural Nursery http://www.sonomahort.com
Sonoma is 60 miles north of San Francisco and does not ship or deliver. So if you are ever in the area, stop by.

Our call to worship (Psalm 124):
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Our confession of faith (New City Catechism, Q. 18):
Will God allow our disobedience and idolatry to go unpunished?
No, every sin is against the sovereignty, holiness, and goodness of God, and against his righteous law, and God is righteously angry with our sins and will punish them in his just judgment both in this life, and in the life to come.
Our sermon passage (Judges 3):
7 And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth. 8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. And the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 9 But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 10 The Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. 11 So the land had rest forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of the city of palms. 14 And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. 16 And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes.17 And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. 18 And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. 19 But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence. 20 And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber.And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat. 21 And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22 And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. 23 Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them.
24 When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber." 25 And they waited till they were embarrassed. But when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them, and there lay their lord dead on the floor.
26 Ehud escaped while they delayed, and he passed beyond the idols and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim. Then the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was their leader. 28 And he said to them, "Follow after me, for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites and did not allow anyone to pass over. 29 And they killed at that time about 10,000 of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

Our songs this week:
Our confession of faith (Heidelberg Catechism, Q. 1):
- What is your only comfort in life and in death?
- That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul,
in life and in death—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
Our sermon passage (Ephesians 3:14-21):
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Our confession of sin:
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Our sermon passage (Ephesians 3:1-13):
For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ,5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. 13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

Our confession of faith (The Apostles' Creed):
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the 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, died, and buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living 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.
Our sermon passage (Ephesians 2:11-22):
11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both haveaccess in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Our call to worship (Psalm 40):
Leader: I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
People: He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
Our songs this week:
Our confession of faith (New City Catechism, Q. 24):
Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die?
Since death is the punishment for sin, Christ died willingly in our place to deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God. By his substitutionary atoning death, he alone redeems us from hell and gains for us forgiveness of sin, righteousness, and everlasting life.
Our sermon passage (Ephesians 2:1-10):
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him andseated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand,that we should walk in them.

Our songs this week:
Our confession of faith (Heidelberg Catechism, Q. 26):
What do you believe when you say: I believe in God the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth?
That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who out of nothing created heaven and earth and all that is in them, and who still upholds and governs them by His eternal counsel and providence, is, for the sake of Christ His Son, my God and my Father. In Him I trust so completely as to have no doubt that He will provide me with all things necessary for body and soul, and will also turn to my good whatever adversity He sends me in this life of sorrow. He is able to do so as almighty God, and willing also as a faithful Father.
Our sermon passage (Ephesians 1:15-23):
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe,according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
We are also participating in Sanctity of Life Sunday this week. Our Call to Worship text (Psalm 139) is a reminder that God knew us from the earliest moments of our creation, while we were still in our mother's womb.
Leader: You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
People: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
We will also be showing a video during the Offertory, and taking some time to pray as a community. For more resources on Sanctity of Life Sunday, including the video, please check out this site.
