WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

The Passion

The passion of our Savior  
The mercy of our God  
The cross that leaves no question  
Of the measure of His love  

Our chains are gone, our debt is paid  
The cross has overthrown the grave  
For Jesus’ blood that sets us free  
Means death to death and life to me  

The innocent judged guilty  
While the guilty one walks free  
Death would be His portion  
And our portion liberty  

I give my whole life to honor this love  
By the Lamb who was slain, I’m forgiven  
The sinner’s Savior, crown Him forever  
For the Lamb who was slain, He is risen  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

Scripture Reading: John 9: 1-11; 35-41

 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am he.” But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.”

Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him. Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see and those who do see may become blind.” Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

The Jesus Way

If you curse me then I will bless you  
If you hurt me I will forgive  
And if you hate me then I will love you 
I choose the Jesus way  

If you’re helpless I will defend you  
And if you’re burdened I’ll share the weight  
And if you’re hopeless then let me show you  
There’s hope in the Jesus way  

I follow Jesus, I follow Jesus  
He wore my sin, I’ll gladly wear His name  
He is the treasure, He is the answer  
Oh I choose the Jesus way  

If you strike me, I will embrace you  
And if you chain me, I’ll sing His praise  
And if you kill me, my home is heaven  
For I choose the Jesus way  

I choose surrender, I choose to love  
Oh God my Savior, You’ll always be enough  
I choose forgiveness, I choose grace  
I choose to worship no matter what I face  
I choose the Jesus way

WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS TO GOD

Time Of Prayer

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.  

Affirmation Of Faith

I believe in God the Father Almighty  
Maker of heaven and earth  

And in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord  
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,  
Born of the Virgin Mary,  
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,   
Was crucified, dead, and buried; 
The third day he rose from the dead;  
He ascended into heaven  
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty 
From thence he shall come to judge the quick 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  

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

My Jesus

 Are you past the point of weary  
Is your burden weighing heavy  
Is it all too much to carry  
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus  
Do you feel that empty feeling  
‘Cause shame’s done all its stealing  
And you’re desperate for some healing  
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus  

He makes a way where there ain’t no way  
Rises up from an empty grave  
Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save  
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus  
His love is strong and His grace is free  
And the good news is I know that He  
Can do for you what He’s done for me  
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus 
 And let my Jesus change your life  

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah  
Amen, amen  

Who can wipe away the tears  
From broken dreams and wasted years  
And tell the past to disappear 
Oh and let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus  
And all the wrong turns that you would  
Go and undo if you could  
Who can work it all for your good 
Let me tell you about my Jesus  

Who would take my cross to Calvary 
Pay the price for all my guilty  
Who would care that much about me  
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus, oh  

Benediction
