1 Sunday Morning Worship February 14, 2016 Reflection If you say: I believed in God, I trusted God, and He didn't come through You only trusted God to meet your agenda. Tim Keller I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer. Jim Carrey

3 Confession of sin & Assurance Wonderful, Merciful, Savior Wonderful, merciful Savior, Precious Redeemer and Friend, Who would have thought that a Lamb could Rescue the souls of men, Oh, You rescue the souls of men. Counselor, comforter, keeper, Spirit we long to embrace, You offer hope when our hearts have Hopelessly lost our way, Oh, we ve hopelessly lost our way. Chorus: You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore, You give the healing and grace our Hearts always hunger for, Oh, our hearts always hunger for. Almighty, infinite Father Faithfully loving Your own, Here in our weakness You find us Falling before Your throne, Oh, we re falling before Your throne. (Chorus twice) Prayer of Confession Assurance of pardoning grace 1 John 4:9-15 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. Deacon's Prayer Ken Coyer Worship through giving We invite everyone to fill out the registry pad located on the end of the aisle.

5 Sermon Response & Blessing Hear Sunday's Sermon www. redeemerpca.net. Opposition to Following Jesus John 15:17-16:4a Dan Seale, Senior Pastor How Firm a Foundation Trinity #94 (verses 1-4,6) How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith, in His excellent Word! What more can He say, than to you He has said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed; For I am your God, and will still give you aid; I ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. When through the deep waters I call you to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with you, your troubles to bless, And sanctify to you your deepest distress. When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be your supply; The flame shall not hurt you; I only design Your dross to consume, and your gold to refine. The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I ll never, no never, no never forsake. Benediction

7 11412 Strickland Road, Raleigh, North Carolina (919) C.C.L.I. License # our missionaries & Ministry partners We are a community of people who desire to declare and display both locally and globally the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As a church, we seek to live in such a way that Jesus is seen as beautiful and believable in North Raleigh. Also since Jesus last command was to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20), we partner with likeminded people committed to the same mission beyond North Raleigh. We support them generously, sacrificially, personally, and prayerfully and consider them part of our Redeemer church family.
