The God Who Is
August 23, 2020 | Everett Meadors
Passage: Exodus 3:1-15
At the burning bush, Moses encounters something that has immediate importance to us all. He encounters God. There are many cultures and peoples who have reasoned their way up to the necessity for a God, but here at the burning bush we have so much more than that. We have the revelation of God. The Creator of the universe makes himself known to Moses, not just as a distant deity peering down at the world, but as the nurturing redeemer who involves himself in the world he loves. It is one of the most pivotal passages in all of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. Can't wait to delve into it with you all

CONFESSION
Everett will lead us in a moment of silent reflection and confession.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST
Hebrews 1:3-4
CONFESSION OF FAITH (Nicene Creed)
We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.
The Lion & the Lamb
by Leeland
Verse 1
He's coming on the clouds, kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break, as broken hearts declare His praise
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Chorus
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power and fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before You
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sin of the world, His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Oh every knee will bow before Him
Verse 2
So open up the gates, make way before the King of kings
Our God who calls the saved is here to set the captives free
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Bridge
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Be Enthroned
by The Worship Initiative
Verse1
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
A King who bled and died, A God who sacrificed
Chorus
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 voices with heaven
Singing worthy, Lord of all
Verse 2
All through this life we lead and onto eternity
Our endless praise, we'll cry
Jesus be glorified
Bridge
Highest praises, Lord of All
Highest praises, Lord of All
Highest praises, Lord of All

SERMON
LORD’S SUPPER
Worthy of Your Name
by Sean Curran & Passion
Verse 1
Rumors of the Son of Man
Stories of a Saviour
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
As Your blood fell to the ground You redefined my future
On the day when You arose, the darkness ran for cover
For the King of kings has claimed His throne now until forever
Bridge
You're my author, my maker
My ransom, my Saviour
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
And You stood, in my place
Jesus, no other name
Only Jesus, no other name
Great Are You Lord
by All Sons & Daughters
Verse 1
You give life, You are love, You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord
Chorus
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise, we pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
Bridge
And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord
DOXOLOGY
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
