Olive Shoots Around Your Table

How should Christians think about children?  In our time, children are either lifted up as having a wisdom adults lack, or they are avoided for as long as possible, only to be embraced at the last moment as just one more item on a list of life enhancements.  Children are valuable to God and to his people.  The Church should welcome children as Jesus did, not as life enhancements or liabilities, but as a heritage in the Lord.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 139

CONFESSION

Mike will lead us in a time of silent confession.

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

      born of the virgin Mary.

      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.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, who is in heaven,

Hallowed be your Name.

Your Kingdom come,

Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our tresspasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil. 

For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

Forever and ever,

Amen.

Come People of the Risen King

Keith & Kristyn Getty

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 ev'ry tongue rejoice

One heart one voice

O Church of Christ rejoice

Come those whose joy is morning sun

And those weeping through the night

Come those who tell of battles won

And those struggling in the fight

For His perfect love will never change

And His mercies never cease

But follow us through all our days

With the certain hope of peace

Come young and old from ev'ry 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 ev'ry age

Our God is all in all

Be Enthroned 

Covered by Shane & Shane

We've come to join the song 

sung long before our lives

To raise our voice along heaven and earth alike

We've seen your faithful hand 

Your mercy without end

The King who bled and died 

our God who sacrificed

Be enthroned upon the praises of 

A thousand generations

You are worthy Lord of all

Unto You the slain and risen King 

we lift our voice with heaven

Singing worthy Lord of All

All through this life we lead on through eternity

Our endless praise we cry Jesus be glorified

All through this life we lead on through eternity

Our endless praise we cry Jesus be glorified

Jesus be glorified

Highest praises Lord of all

Abide With Me

Traditional Hymn Covered by Shane & Shane

Abide with me fast falls the eventide

The darkness deepens Lord with me abide

When other helpers fail and comforts flee

Help of the helpless abide with me

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile

And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile

Thou hast not left me though I oft left Thee

On to the close Lord abide with me

I need Thy presence every passing hour

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be

Through cloud and sunshine abide with me

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless

Ills have no weight tears lose their bitterness

Where is thy sting death

Where grave thy victory

I triumph still abide with me

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies

Thy morning breaks and earthly shadows flee

In life in death Lord abide with me

In life in death Lord abide with me

In life in death Lord abide with me

SCRIPTURE READING

 

SERMON

 

Vast As The Ocean

Traditional Hymn arranged by Trinity Worship

 

Here is love, vast as the ocean, 

loving-kindness as the flood,

when the Prince of Life, our Ransom, 

shed for us His precious blood.

Who His love will not remember? 

Who can cease to sing His praise?

He can never be forgotten 

throughout heav'n's eternal days.

 

On the mount of crucifixion 

fountains opened deep and wide;

through the floodgates of God's mercy 

flowed a vast and gracious tide.

Grace and love, like mighty rivers, 

poured incessant from above,

and heav'n's peace and perfect justice 

kissed a guilty world in love.

 

In Thy truth Thou dost direct me 

by Thy Spirit through Thy Word;

and Thy grace my need is meeting 

as I trust in Thee, my Lord.

Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring 

Thy great love and pow'r on me

Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring 

Thy great love and pow'r on me

without measure, full and boundless, 

drawing out my heart to Thee

 

COMMUNION

Christ Is Risen 

by Matt Maher

 

Let no one caught in sin remain

Inside the lie of inward shame

But fix our eyes upon the cross

And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us

Freely You’ve bled for us

 

Christ is risen from the dead

Trampling over death by death

Come awake, come awake

Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead

We are one with Him again

Come awake, come awake

Come and rise up from the grave

 

Beneath the weight of all our sin

You bowed to none but heaven’s will

No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown

No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign

Forever let Your church proclaim

 

O death, where is your sting?

O hell, where is your victory?

O church, come stand in the light

The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?

O hell, where is your victory?

O church, come stand in the light

Our God is not dead He's alive! He's alive
