WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name  
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name  
Let angels prostrate fall  
Bring forth the royal diadem  
And crown Him Lord of all  
Bring forth the royal diadem  
And crown Him Lord of all  

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race  
Ye ransomed from the fall  
Hail Him who saves you by His grace  
And crown Him Lord of all  
Hail Him who saves you by His grace  
And crown Him Lord of all  

Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe  
On this terrestrial ball  
To Him all majesty ascribe  
And crown Him Lord of all  
To Him all majesty ascribe  
And crown Him Lord of all  

O that with yonder sacred throng  
We at His feet may fall  
We’ll join the everlasting song  
And crown Him Lord of all  
We’ll join the everlasting song  
And crown Him Lord of all  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

Scripture Reading: Luke 10: 25-37  
An expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”  But wanting to vindicate himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and took off, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came upon him, and when he saw him he was moved with compassion. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, treating them with oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him, and when I come back I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”  

Sermon: Yeah, But...Have You Met My Neighbor?

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  

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 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  
I choose 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  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

Blessing Of Our Tithes And Offerings

Build My Life  
Worthy of ev’ry song we could ever sing  
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring  
Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe  
We live for You, oh, we live for You  

Jesus, the name above ev’ry other name  
Jesus, the only one who could ever save  
Worthy of ev’ry breath we could ever breathe  
We live for You, we live for You  

Holy there is no one like You  
There is none beside You  
Open up my eyes in wonder  
And show me who You are  
And fill me with Your heart

I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation  
And I will put my trust in You alone  
And I will not be shaken

Confession and Pardon

The Great Thanksgiving and Sharing Of Communion

Great Is Thy Faithfulness  
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father  
There is no shadow of turning with Thee  
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not  
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be  

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness  
Morning by morning new mercies I see  
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided  
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me  

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest  
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above  
Join with all nature in manifold witness  
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love  

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth  
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide  
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow  
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside  

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

I’ll Fly Away  
Some bright morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away  
To that home on God’s celestial shore,  I’ll fly away  

I’ll fly away, oh glory  
I’ll fly away  
When I die, hallelujah by and by 
I’ll fly away  

When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away  
Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly, I’ll fly away  

Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away  
To a land where joys will never end, I’ll fly away  

Congregational Benediction  
Hear, O followers of Christ: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  
We will love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength.  
We will love our neighbors as ourselves, as Jesus taught:  showing mercy, seeking justice, walking humbly, and offering grace.  
We will hold these words in our hearts and let them shape our lives.
We will teach them to our children, and speak of them in our homes and wherever we go.  
We will surround ourselves with reminders of God’s love—  in what we choose, in what we say, and in how we live.  
For this is the way of Christ. This is the way of life.
