Run by Faith

The Christian life is a life of faith from first to last but faith is not a blind leap into the dark. Instead we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses testifying that we are pursuing a sure and certain hope, that our faith is far more than an empty wish and we are traveling a path that countless others have walked before. Our path leads through and beyond death but it must be run by faith.

CONFESSION

(Alternative confession from BCP 2019)

Congregation:

Almighty God, 

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

maker and judge of us all: 

We acknowledge and lament our many sins and offenses, 

which we have committed by thought, word, and deed 

against your divine majesty, 

provoking most justly your righteous anger against us. 

We are deeply sorry for these our transgressions; 

the burden of them is more than we can bear. 

Have mercy upon us, 

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; 

for your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, 

forgive us all that is past; 

and grant that we may evermore serve and please you in newness of life, 

to the honor and glory of your Name; 

through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen. 

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

CONFESSION OF FAITH

Leader: Confess with me our faith 

Congregation:

Christ has died

Christ has risen

Christ is coming again

 

Rejoice

by Dustin Kensrue

 

Verse 1

Come and stand before your Maker 

Full of wonder, full of fear

Come behold His power and glory 

Yet with confidence draw near

For the one who holds the heavens 

And commands the stars above

Is the God who bends to bless us 

With an unrelenting love

 

CHORUS 1

Rejoice, come and lift your hands 

and Raise your voice, 

He is worthy of our praise 

Rejoice, sing the mercies of your King

And with trembling, rejoice

 

VERSE 2

We are children of the promise 

The beloved of the Lord

Won with everlasting kindness 

Bought with sacrificial blood 

Bringing reconciliation

To a world that longs to know 

The affections of a Father 

Who will never let them go

 

Verse 3

All our sickness, all our sorrows 

Jesus carried up the hill

He has walked this path before us 

He is walking with us still

Turning tragedy to triumph 

Turning agony to praise

There is blessing in the battle 

So take heart and stand amazed

 

CHORUS 2

Rejoice, when you cry to Him 

He hears Your voice, 

He will wipe away your tears 

Rejoice, in the midst of suffering

He will help you sing

 

Come Thou Fount

Traditional Hymn

 

Verse 1

Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise His Name; I’m fixed upon it

Name of God’s redeeming love

 

Verse 2

Hither to thy love has blessed me

Thou hast brought me to this place

And I know thy hand will bring me

Safely home by thy good grace

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wand’ring from the fold of God

He, to rescue me from danger

Bought me with His precious blood

 

Verse 3

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily I’m constrained to be

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter

Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

 

Verse 4

O that day when freed from sinning

I shall see thy lovely face

Full arrayed in blood-washed linen

How I'll sing thy sovereign grace

Come my Lord no longer tarry

Bring thy promises to pass

For I know thy pow'r will keep me

Till I'm home with thee at last

 

SERMON

By Faith

By Keith & Kristyn Getty

 

Verse 1

By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation's grand de - sign

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

Who walk by faith and not by sight

 

Verse 2

By faith our fathers roamed the earth

With the power of His promise in their hearts

Of a holy city built by God's own hand

A place where peace and justice reign

 

Chorus

We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

Till the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

 

Verse 3

By faith the prophets saw a day

When the longed-for Messiah would appear

With the pow'r to break the chains of sin and death

And rise triumphant from the grave

 

Verse 4

By faith the church was called to go

In the pow'r of the Spirit to the lost

To deliver captives and to preach good news

In ev'ry corner of the earth

 

Verse 5

By faith the mountain shall be moved

And the pow'r of the gospel shall prevail

For we know in Christ all things are possible

For all who call upon His name

 

LORD’S SUPPER

 

Is He Worthy

Andrew Peterson

Verse 1

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)

Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)

But do you know that all the dark

Won't stop the light from getting through? (We do)

Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Verse 2

Is all creation groaning? (It is)

Is a new creation coming? (It is)

Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)

Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Pre-Chorus 1

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave

He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

Chorus 1

Is he worthy? Is he worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory?

Is he worthy of this? (He is)

Verse 3

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)

Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)

And does Jesus our Messiah hold forever those he loves? (He does)

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Pre-Chorus 2

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave

He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

From every people and tribe, 

every nation and tongue

He has made us a kingdom 

and priests to God to reign with his Son

Chorus 2

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Of all blessing and honor and glory? 

Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

Is He worthy of this?

Ending

He is! He is! He is! He is!

He is worthy, He is worthy

Of all blessing and honor and glory

He is worthy of this He is

 

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

Chorus

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!

You are worthy

You are worthy of Your name!
