CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 117)
We desire to live lives that are wholly devoted to the Lord, impacting and shaping every area of our lives. This call to worship is a call for God’s people to reorient their lives in submission and worship of the King of kings.
ALL: Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
WORSHIP IN SONG
We joyfully sing together because the Apostle Paul exhorts us in Colossians 3:16 to “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (by) singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
GOD'S NOT DEAD
Let love explode and
Bring the dead to life
A love so bold
To see a revolution somehow
(REPEAT)
Now I'm lost in Your freedom
Oh this world I'll overcome
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
Let hope arise
And make the darkness hide
My faith is dead
I need a resurrection somehow
(REPEAT)
Let heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival
Let heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival
(REPEAT)
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
My God's not dead
He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
RAISE A HALLELUJAH
I raise a hallelujah
In the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah
Louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah
My weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah
Heaven comes to fight for me
I’m gonna sing
In the middle of the storm
Louder and louder
You’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes hope will arise
Death is defeated the King is alive
I raise a hallelujah
With everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah
I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah
In the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah
Fear you lost your hold on me
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
I’m gonna sing
In the middle of the storm
Louder and louder
You’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes hope will arise
Death is defeated the King is alive
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE OF PARDON
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), but - because of the death and resurrection of Jesus - “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Confession of our sin and then reveling in the assurance God gives us of His forgiveness through Jesus is something that God’s people ought to engage in daily, and this is why we do it each week when we gather.
Corporate Prayer of Confession: Father, we confess we are not the people you created or called us to be. We have not loved you with our whole heart or our neighbors as ourselves. Forgive us our sin, O God, and create in us a clean heart and willing spirit, so that in our living, we may serve you, and in our dying, we may enter the joy of your presence, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon (Rom 5:17)
Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: 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.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
SCRIPTURE READING
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. Therefore, we give the reading of Scripture a high place in our worship services.
Romans 12:10-18
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

A Plea for Unity

COMMUNION
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Cor 11:26)
DOXOLOGY
Since this chorus was written in 1709, the church universal has been singing it as a response to the Lord for His countless blessings. We will sing this each week after we give our offering and receive communion as an act of corporate worship and as a reminder that “every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.” (James 1:7)
Praise God from Whom
All Blessings Flow
Praise Him All Creatures
Here Below
Praise God Above Ye
Heavenly Hosts
Praise Father, Son,
And Holy Ghost
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Jesus, Savior
Worthy of All Praise
(REPEAT)
BENEDICTION (Rom 15:5-6)
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us go forth to serve the world as those who love their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
ALL: Amen!
The offering boxes are located in various spots around the parking lot.
