To Put Away Sin

The author of Hebrews brings to a close his discussion of Christ's priesthood by summarizing much of what has come before.  What the author shares is the content of the Gospel in three images: Christ offering his body, Christ ruling from his throne, and Christ's covenant on our hearts.  Cross, crown, and covenant.  This is the good news that changes how God relates to humanity and it is the good news that will move God's people to endure on his side, come what may.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 9:1-2

CONFESSION

Almighty and most merciful Father, 

we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. 

We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. 

We have offended against your holy laws. 

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, 

and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; 

and apart from your grace, there is no health in us. 

O Lord, have mercy upon us. 

Spare all those who confess their faults. 

Restore all those who are penitent, 

according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, 

that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life, 

to the glory of your holy Name. 

Amen.

CONFESSION OF FAITH

Romans 5:1-5, 8

1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. 8For God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Build Your Kingdom Here

by Rend Collective Experiment

 

Verse 1

Come set Your rule and reign 

In our hearts again 

Increase in us we pray 

Unveil why we're made 

Come set our hearts ablaze with hope 

Like wildfire in our very souls 

Holy Spirit come invade us now 

We are Your church 

We need Your pow'r in us 

 

Verse 2 

We seek Your kingdom first 

We hunger and we thirst 

Refuse to waste our lives 

For You're our joy and prize 

To see the captives' hearts released 

The hurt the sick the poor at peace 

We lay down our lives for heaven's cause 

We are Your church 

We pray revive this earth 

 

Chorus

Build Your kingdom here 

Let the darkness fear 

Show Your mighty hand 

Heal our streets and land 

Set Your church on fire 

Win this nation back 

Change the atmosphere 

Build Your kingdom here we pray 

 

Verse 3 

Unleash Your kingdom's pow'r 

Reaching the near and far 

No force of hell can stop 

Your beauty changing hearts 

You made us for much more than this 

Awake the kingdom seed in us 

Fill us with the strength and love of Christ 

We are Your church 

We pray revive this earth

 

Be Thou My Vision

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

SERMON

Great Is Our God

By Young Oceans

 

Verse 1

Come let us praise Him 

Let us kneel at the throne of our God 

Through His Son our salvation was bought 

With mercy and grace. 

Come let us bow down 

In His hands are the depths of the earth 

With one voice we proclaim His great worth 

Lord our God 

 

Chorus 

And we will seek Him our Rock of Salvation 

Morning by morning with Thanksgiving we come 

And we will bow down with creation we cry out 

In daylight and darkness we sing to the Lord

Great is our God

Great is our God

Great is our God. 

 

Verse 2 

Lord of all nations We will stand at the end of our days 

In your courts and declare your great ways In Spirit and Truth 

We long for your kingdom Bring your thunder and gather the earth 

All who tremble will tell of Your worth Lord our God

 

LORD’S SUPPER

Lord I Need You

Matt Maher

Verse 1 

Lord I come, I confess

Bowing here, I find my rest

Without you, I fall apart

You’re the one who guides my heart

Chorus 

Lord, I need You, oh I need You 

Every hour I need You 

My one defense, my righteousness 

Oh God, how I need You 

Verse 2

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

And where You are, Lord I am free

Holiness is Christ in me

And where You are, Lord I am free

Holiness is Christ in me

Bridge: 

So teach my song to rise to You 

When temptation comes my way 

And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You 

Jesus You're my hope and stay

Jesus Is Better

By Austin Stone Worship

Verse

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
