WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine  
Oh what a foretaste of glory diving  
Heir of salvation, purchase of God  
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood  

This is my story, this is my song  
Praising my Savior, all the day long  
This is my story, this is my song  
Praising my Savior, all the day long  

Perfect submission, perfect delight  
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight  
Angels descending bring from above  
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love  

Perfect submission, all is at rest  
I in my Savior am happy and blest  
Watching and waiting, looking above  
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

African Alleluia/ Chancel Choir

Scripture Reading: Luke 6: 27-38

“But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

Sermon: What Jesus Would Have Said: "Good For Nothing"

If We Are The Body

It’s crowded in worship today  
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces  
The girls teasing laughter is carrying  
Farther than they know  
Farther than they know  

But if we are the body  
Why aren’t His arms reaching  
Why aren’t His hands healing  
Why aren’t His words teaching  

And if we are the body  
Why aren’t His feet going 
Why is His love not showing them there is a way  

There is a way

A traveler is far away from home  
He sheds his coat and quietly  
Sinks into the back row  

The weight of their judgmental glances  
Tells him that his chances are better   
Out on the road  

Jesus paid much too high a price  
For us to pick and choose who should come  
And we are the body of Christ  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

Blessing Of Our Tithes And Offerings

The Commission

See my hands, look at my feet  
It’s okay, if it’s hard to believe  
I have faith you will do greater things 
It’s my time to go  
But before I leave  

 Go tell the world about me  
I was dead but now I live 
I’ve gotta go now for a little while  
But goodbye is not the end  

Don’t forget the things I taught you  
I’ve conquered death and I hold the keys  
Where I go you will go too, someday  
But there’s much to do  
Here before you leave  

End of the journey, the end of the road  
My spirit is with you wherever you go  
You have a purpose and I have a plan  
I’ll make you this promise  
I’ll come back again, but until then  

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow  
Praise God all creatures here below  
Alleluia, alleluia 
Praise God the source of all our gifts  
Praise Jesus Christ whose power uplifts  
Praise the Spirit, Holy Spirit  
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia  

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

Evidence

All throughout my history  
Your faithfulness  
Has walked beside me  
The winter storms made way for spring  
In every season, from where I’m standing  

I see the evidence of Your goodness  
All over my life, all over my life 
I see Your promises in fulfillment  
All over my life, all over my life  

Help me remember when I’m weak  
Fear may come but fear will leave  
You lead my heart to victory  
You are my strength and You always will be  

See the cross, the empty grave 
The evidence is endless  
All my sin rolled away  
Because of You, oh Jesus  

Why should I fear, the evidence is here

Benediction
