The God Who Is Present in His Word

One of the most difficult questions to answer in life is the question, "What is life?" Before we can know what life means, we need to know what it is and where it comes from.  This proved to be one of the greatest struggles for Israel after the Exodus from Egypt. The same is true for us. Will we trust God as the one who is life, who gives life, who holds the life he gives us in his hands. When God tests us, do we respond by testing him or trusting him? God tests his people to deepen their understanding and trust of him. We may say we believe, but do we trust him as the one whose life-giving presence is in his word?

CALL TO WORSHIP 

1 Peter 1:3-5

Leader: Lift up your hearts

Congregation: Our hearts are lifted up to the Lord

CONFESSION

Most merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you

in thought, word, and deed,

by what we have done,

and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,

have mercy on us and forgive us;

that we may delight in your will,

and walk in your ways,

to the glory of your Name. 

Amen.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST

1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10

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 hell.

   The third day he rose again from the dead.

   He ascended to heaven

   and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.

   From there he will come 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.

LORD’S SUPPER 

Come To The Feast
(Communion Song)
by Jeff Lawson

Verse 1

Go to the highways and hedges

Go to the farthest of fields 

Go and compel, the sick and the well

For our Father’s house will be filled.

Verse 2

Go to the streets of the city

Bring in the crippled and blind 

All who would taste this banquet of grace

Must come and waste no more time.

Chorus

Come to the feast, come to the table

The great and the least, the rich and the poor. 

Come to the feast, come to the table.

Come and hunger no more

Verse 3:

In the robe of the lamb you’ll be covered 

dressed in his pure righteousness 

For all of your guilt, his blood it was spilt

So come by your Father be blessed.

Be Thou My Vision
Traditional Hymn

Verse 1

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best thought, by day or by night

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

 

Verse 2

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

 

Verse 3

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,

Thou mine inheritance, now and always:

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,

High king of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

 

Chorus

O God be my everything, be my delight

Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied

 

Verse 4

High king of heaven, my victory won,

May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

 
My One Comfort
Dustin Kensrue

Verse

My one comfort both in life and death

Is that I am not my own

I was bought with blood and I confess

I belong to You alone

 Chorus

By the Father's good decree

Jesus You've delivered me

By Your Spirit set me free

To follow You

Bridge

Jesus You have taken hold of me

And in Your grip of grace I'm finally free

 

DOXOLOGY
