A God Who Covenants With Us

There are certain kinds of relationships that can't happen casually. You don't partner in real estate investment over a hand shake and well wishes. We don't (shouldn't) commit to the union of man and woman the way we commit to binge watching a Netflix show. These relationships require more of us. They happen in the context of promises and contracts, protections and agreements. In the same way, as God brings humans into relationship with him, he does it through the same means, in this case, the covenant. This week the covenant ceremony for God's people is completed and we see how this covenant is about far more than just Israel but is about the salvation of the world.

WELCOME 

CALL TO WORSHIP 

Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Leviticus 19:18

Leader: Lift up your hearts

Congregation: Our hearts are lifted up to the Lord

CONFESSION

Almighty and most merciful Father,

we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,

and we have done those things which we ought not to have done;

and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Spare all those who confess their faults.

Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,

that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,

to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST

Hebrews 12:1-2

CONFESSION OF FAITH (APOSTLE’S CREED)

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

   who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

   And born of the virgin Mary.

   He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

   was crucified, died, and was buried;

   he descended to the dead.

   On the third day he rose again.

   He ascended into heaven

   and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

   He is coming again to judge the living 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.

This Is Amazing Grace

Who breaks the power of sin and darkness 

Whose love is mighty and so much stronger 

The King of Glory the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder 

Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder 

The King of Glory the King above all kings 

Chorus 

This is amazing grace 

This is unfailing love 

That You would take my place 

That You would bear my cross 

You laid down Your life 

That I would be set free 

Oh Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order

Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance

Jesus Paid It All
Traditional Hymn

Verse 1 

I hear the Savior say, 

thy strength indeed is small 

Child of weakness, watch and pray, 

find in me thine all in all 

Verse 2 

Lord, now indeed I find

thy power and thine alone

Can change the leper's spots

and melt the heart of stone 

Chorus 

Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe 

Sin had left a crimson stain 

He washed it white as snow

Verse 3

And when before the throne 

I stand in him complete 

Jesus died my soul to save

my lips shall still repeat 

Bridge 

O praise the one who paid my debt

and raised this life up from the dead

with thorns Is crowned with glory now

Now at his feet we bow

In Your Name I come alive 

To declare Your victory 

The resurrected king is resurrecting me

Was borrowed for three days 

His body there would not remain 

Our God has robbed the grave 

Our God has robbed the grave
