2 Preparation for Worship Please prepare your heart for worship and silence your mobile devices. Our Hymn Preparation today is Ho it, Livg Breath God written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. It is the last song the Apostles Creed album which focuses on the basic tenets the Christian faith outled the ancient creed. As is true with all the Getty hymns, the rics Ho it are theological rich. It is as much an explanation what Scripture states the Ho it does as it is a prayer for utter dependence on the Ho it our lives. The writers divided the hymn to three verses. The first expresses a prayer for ward change, askg the Ho it to transform us from the core our beg. Without such change, all religious attempts are futile. We must dai ask for renewal and the desire to love and treasure God s word and his ways. Verse two petitions the it to abide us so we re able to bountiful bear His fruit, such as the kdness and gentleness described so beautiful Galatians 5: Closg this verse is a prayer to show Christ all I do. Verse three is a more expansive prayer for the church. Durg the songwritg process, we kept revisitg this verse as we examed the role the Ho it throughout the New Testament, Getty says. In passage after passage, evidence the Ho it s power someone s life was marked by two characteristics Christ is magnified, and the dividual is led on a path sacrifice. On through reachg the end ourselves can we achieve a vibrant Christian witness. As we enter worship today, may this song be the prayer our hearts; submittg to and askg the it to awaken us to the beauty Jesus, to transform us to His glorious image, and to empower us to follow Christ zealous as His people!

3 WPSALTER LESSON: Select Verses from Psalm Rusty Shappley (8:15) Becca Sloan (11:00) Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and all that is with me, bless his ho name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and aboundg steadfast love. He does not deal with us accordg to our ss, nor repay us accordg to our iquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. But the steadfast love the Lord is from everlastg to everlastg on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. The Lord has established his throne the heavens, and his kgdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, O my soul! WGLORIA PATRI... GREATOREX Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho Ghost; As it was the begng, is now and ever shall be, World without end. Amen, Amen! Rest the Comfort Our Kg CORPORATE PRAYER OF CONFESSION Ho Father, Your mercy hear our prayer. We confess that it is still all too easy for us to sacrifice Your call on our lives for earth ambitions, our convictions for convenience, Your standards for status, Your prciples for promotion, and our souls for shallow and unsatisfyg success. How easi we are seduced by the promises the world, and how easi we cower because our fear men. Forgive us for our half-hearted devotion and our double-mded spirit. Renew us, we pray, accordg to Your steadfast love. Remd us Your covenant faithfulness and have mercy on us the name Jesus Christ. INDIVIDUAL PRAYERS OF CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF DIVINE PARDON.... I Peter 2:24-25 He himself bore our ss his body on the tree, that we might die to s and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were strayg like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer your souls.
