3 THE LORD GATHERS THE NATIONS We believe that the Triune God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit calls the world to worship Him. As a Christian community, we gather together on the first day of each week to worship Him as we are led by the Spirit. As we worship, we bring our praise and our concerns, our joys and our sorrows, our hopes and our troubles. Prelude (All music used by permission CCLI # ) *Please silence your electronic devices Announcements Reflection on Worship God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Call to Worship Psalm 104:1, 33-34, 35b Leader: Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty. Response: I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. Leader: May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord. Response: Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord! 2

Music: Stralsund Gesangbuch Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the King of creation O my soul, praise Him; for He is thy health and salvation All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near Praise Him in glad adoration Praise to the Lord; O let all that is in me adore Him All that hath life and breath; come now with praises before Him Let the Amen sound from His people again Gladly for aye we adore Him 3

6 THE LORD REVEALS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD God calls the nations to follow him primarily through the reading and exposition of His inspired, infallible, and inerrant word as contained in the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Scriptures teach what man is to believe concerning God and what duty God requires of man. Sermon Pastor Tom Luchenbill John 11:1-44 Pew Bible p. 897 Large Print Pew Bible p

7 You Alone Can Rescue Authors, Jonas Myrin & Matt Redman Who, O Lord, could save themselves; their own soul could heal Our shame was deeper than the sea; Your grace is deeper still You alone can rescue, You alone can save You alone can lift us from the grave You came down to find us, led us out of death To You alone belongs the highest praise You, O Lord, have made a way; the great divide You healed For when our hearts were far away, Your love went further still Yes, Your love goes further still Chorus We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes You re the giver of life (3x) You alone can rescue, You alone can save You alone can lift us from the grave You came down to find us, led us out of death To You alone belongs the highest praise To You alone belongs the highest praise 6

8 THE LORD FORGIVES OUR SINS We respond to God s revelation by acknowledging that we are not perfect. Therefore, we need the Savior, Jesus Christ. He invites us to bring Him all our faults and brokenness. Because of His gracious love, He forgives all our sins. Confession of Sin Romans 10:9-10 Leader: Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Unison: Almighty God, you have the power over life and death. Too often, we question your timing instead of trusting in your sovereign plan. We confess that we do not always seek to glorify you in every situation. Instead, we try to take control of our own lives, dismissing you as our King and Giver of Life. Forgive us, O Lord! May we seek you in the good times and bad, giving you praise in all circumstances. In Jesus name. Amen. [Silent Confession] Assurance of Pardon Psalm 118:14-16 Leader: The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous. Unison: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly! 7

9 THE LORD PROVIDES OUR DAILY BREAD Worship includes returning to God and His work a portion of our material possessions as tithes and offerings. We ask Him to use the generosity of His people to continue and to advance the work of His church. Offertory Scripture 1 Chronicles 16:29 Leader: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Offertory THE LORD CALLS US TO PRAY God calls us to pray. Through prayer we seek His good and perfect will. Our prayer time includes praying for our July Missionary of the Month: Andrew Newman. Andrew is the Reformed University of Fellowship (RUF) Campus Minister at University of South Florida. He and his wife, Meghan, are expecting their 2 nd child late July! Please pray for their growing family and this great campus ministry they are a part of. Prayer Scripture Psalm 46:1 Leader: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Elder Prayer Elder David Reyes Apostles Creed 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. 8

10 I Surrender All Author: Judson Van De Venter All to Jesus I surrender All to Him I freely give I will ever love and trust him In His presence daily live I surrender all, I surrender all All to Thee my blessed Savior, I surrender all All to Jesus I surrender Humbly at His feet I bow Worldly pleasures all forsaken Take me, Jesus, take me now Chorus All to Jesus I surrender Lord, I give myself to Thee Fill me with Thy love and power Let Thy blessing fall on me Chorus 9

11 THE LORD COMMUNES WITH HIS PEOPLE The climax of our worship is sitting at the Table with the Lord. We come to the Table full of thankfulness and joy because of His grace. As the perfect Lamb of God, Jesus sacrifice reconciled us to the Father so that we are in a right relationship with him. Distribution of the Bread and Cup THE LORD SENDS US OUT INTO THE WORLD God does not save us simply from something. He saves us to something to be His messengers of redemption to a lost and fallen world. He sends us out redeemed, loved, and with a purpose. We are called to bear witness to what He is doing in our lives where we live, work, and play. Praise be to God! Benediction Ephesians 3:20-21 (NASB) Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.
