Pay Attention, Don't Drift

Series: Lasting Things: A Series in Hebrews

Pay Attention, Don't Drift

January 10, 2021 | Michael Uyeda

Passage: Hebrews 1:1-2:4

In our microwave culture, we tend to undervalue and neglect those things of lasting importance. But Jesus Christ and His Gospel of grace teach us to live in a different way. Do you treasure Christ supremely and cherish the salvation you have in Him? Join us this Sunday as we begin our new sermon series in the book of Hebrews, which is all about our lasting covenant with God and how it call us to live in response to God.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.

    The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;

you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.

Therefore God, your God, has anointed you

    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions

Psalm 45:6-7

Leader: Trinity Community Church, lift up your hearts this morning.

Congregation: Our hearts are lifted up to the Lord

CONFESSION OF FAITH

Colossians 1:15-23

Leader: Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by[f] him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Congregation:

And we, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present us holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed we continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that we heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven.

Leader: Let’s worship the Lord in song together.

Jesus Is Better

by Austin Stone Worship

 

Verse 1

There is no other so sure and steady

My hope is held in Your hand

When castles crumble and breath is fleeting

Upon this rock I will stand

upon this rock I will stand

 

Chorus

Glory Glory we have no other King

But Jesus Lord of All

We raise the anthem, our loudest praises ring

We crown Him Lord of All

 

Verse 2

Your kindly rule has shattered and broken

The curse of sin’s tyranny

My life is hidden 'neath Heaven's shadow

Your crimson flood covers me

Your crimson flood covers me

 

Bridge

In all my sorrows Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

In every victory Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

Than any comfort Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

More than all riches Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

Our souls declaring Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

And our song eternal Jesus is better 

make my heart believe

 

Jesus Paid It All

 

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

O praise the one who paid my debt 

and raised this life up from the dead

SERMON

Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)

By Hillsong Worship

 

Verse 1

All these pieces broken and scattered

In mercy gathered Mended and whole

Empty handed but not forsaken

I've been set free I've been set free

 

Pre-Chorus

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

Oh I once was lost but now I am found

Was blind but now I see

 

Chorus

Oh I can see You now

Oh I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying Yourself down

Raising up the broken to life

 

Verse 2

You take our failure You take our weakness

You set Your treasure in jars of clay

So take this heart Lord I'll be Your vessel

The world to see Your life in me

 

LORD’S SUPPER

Worthy of Your Name

By Passion

Verse 1

Rumors of the Son of Man

Stories of a Savior

Holiness with human hands 

Treasure for the traitor

No ear had heard no eye had seen 

the image of the Father

Until heaven came to live with me

A rescue like no other

Chorus

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!

Jesus

Verse 2

You did not speak You made no sound 

You died for Your accusers

And as Your blood fell to the ground 

You redefined my future

On the day that You arose 

the darkness ran for cover

For the King of kings has claimed His throne

From now until forever!

Bridge

You’re my author, my maker

My ransom my Savior

My refuge my hiding place

You’re my helper my healer my blessed Redeemer

My answer my saving grace

You’re my hope in the shadows

my strength in the battle

My anchor for all my days

And You stand by my side

You stood in my place

Jesus no other name

Only Jesus no other name

Revelation Song

Verse 1

Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain

Holy holy is He

Sing a new song to Him Who sits on

Heaven's mercy seat

Chorus

Holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty

Who was and is and is to come

With all creation I sing Praise to the King of kings

You are my everything And I will adore You

Verse 2

Clothed in rainbows of living color

Flashes of lightning rolls of thunder

Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be

To You the only wise King

Verse 3

Filled with wonder awestruck wonder

At the mention of Your name

Jesus Your name is power breath and living water

Such a marvelous mystery
