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 Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us a crucified God must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world. John Piper Call to Worship Psalm 145:1, 17-18, 21 Leader: I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Response: The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. Leader: The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. Response: My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. 2

4 Come People of the Risen King Authors, Keith & Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend Come people of the Risen King; who delight to bring Him praise Come all and tune your hearts to sing; to the Morning Star of grace From the shifting shadows of the earth; we will lift our eyes to Him Where steady arms of mercy reach; to gather children in Rejoice, Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice! One heart, one voice; O Church of Christ, rejoice! Come, young and old from every land; men and women of the faith Come, those with full or empty hands; find the riches of His grace Over all the world, His people sing; shore to shore we hear them call The Truth that cries through every age; Our God is all in all! Chorus Holy, Holy, Holy Authors: John Bacchus Dykes & Reginald Heber Holy, Holy, Holy; Lord God Almighty Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee Holy, Holy, Holy; merciful and mighty God in three Persons, blessed Trinity Holy, Holy, Holy; though the darkness hide Thee Though the eye of sinful man, Thy glory may not see Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee Perfect in power, in love and purity 3

5 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 Prayer for Children [Children ages 4 through 3 rd grade may leave for Children s Worship] 4

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 Text (Pew Bible p. 942) Romans 5: For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Sermon Drew Bennett, Guest Preacher 5

7 Jesus Messiah Words & Music by Daniel Carson, Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash and Jesse Reeves He became sin, who knew no sin, That we might become His righteousness He humbled Himself and carried the cross Love so amazing, love so amazing Jesus Messiah, name above all names Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel The rescue for sinners, the ransom from heaven Jesus Messiah, Lord of all His body the bread, His blood, the wine Broken and poured out all for love The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn Love so amazing, love so amazing Chorus All our hope is in You, all our hope is in You All the glory to You, God, the light of the world Chorus 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 1 Corinthians 15:56-57 Leader: The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us confess our sins with repentant hearts, seeking God s mercy and praising Him for his grace given in Christ Jesus. Unison: Almighty God, we confess that without your grace, we are dead in our trespasses. We sin by doing things we should not do and by refraining from doing things we should do. Our good deeds are like filthy rags in light of your holy presence. Help us, O Lord, to see the sin in our own lives and to truly repent. We know that because of Jesus death on the cross, we are reconciled to you and made righteous in your eyes. Thank you for your indescribable gift of grace. In Jesus name. Amen. [Silent Confession] Assurance of Pardon Ephesians 1:7,13-14 Leader: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit Unison: who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. 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 Acts 20:35 Leader: In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Offertory Adanaris Roldan LifeChoice Pregnancy Center 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 February Mission of the Month: LifeChoice Pregnancy Center. LifeChoice supports girls and women by providing services such as pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, parenting classes, and post-abortion support. All services are without charge and are strictly confidential. Prayer Scripture Psalm 116:1-2 Leader: I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. Elder Prayer Elder Paul Bacheldor 8

10 The Wonderful Cross Chris Tomlin, Isaac Watts, J.D. Reaves, Jessie Mason, Lowe When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride See from His head, His hands, His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross Bids me come and die, and find that I may truly live Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross All who gather here, by grace draw near, and bless Your name Jesus Paid it All Words by Elvina M. Hall. Music by John T. Grape I hear the Savior say, thy strength indeed is small Child of weakness, watch and pray; find in Me thine all in all Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow For nothing good have I, whereby Thy grace to claim I ll wash my garments white, in the blood of Calv ry s Lamb 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 Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Unison Response: Christ has died! Christ has risen! Christ will come again!!! Choral Response Tri-fold Amen 10
