WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

Because He Lives

God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus  
He came to love, heal and forgive  
He bled and died to buy my pardon  
An empty grave to prove my Savior lives  

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow  
Because He lives, all fear is gone  
Because I know, He holds the future  
And live is worth the living  
Just because He lives  

And then one day I’ll cross that river  
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain  
And then as death gives way to vict’ry  
I’ll see the lights of glory  
And I’ll know He reigns  

WE HEAR GOD’S STORY IN OUR LIVES

A Message From The Board

Goodness Of God/ Chancel Choir

Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 10: 18-19; 11: 22-25

Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim. While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them…  Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them. The glory of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it. The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylon in the vision given by the Spirit of God. Then the vision I had seen went up from me, and I told the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.  

Sermon: The Voice In The Ruins

Only A Holy God

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven  
Who else could make every king bow down  
Who else could whisper and darkness trembles  
Only a Holy God  

What other beauty demands such praises  
What other splendor outshines the sun  
What other majesty rules with justice  
Only a Holy God  

Come and behold Him, the One and Only  
Cry out, sing holy, forever a Holy God  
Come and worship the Holy God  

What other glory consumes like fire  
What other power can raise the dead  
What other name remains undefeated  
Only a Holy God  

Who else could rescue me from my failure  
Who else would offer His only Son  
Who else invites me to call Him Father  
Only a Holy God, only my Holy God

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

Graves Into Gardens

I searched the world but it couldn’t fill me  
Man’s empty praise and treasures that fade  
Are never enough  
Then You came along and put me back together  
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love  

Oh there’s nothing better than You  
There’s nothing better than You  
Lord there’s nothing  
Nothing is better than You  

I’m not afraid to show You my weakness  
My failures and flaws, Lord You’ve seen them all  
And You still call me friend 
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley  
And there’s not a place  
Your mercy and grace won’t find me again  

You turn mourning to dancing  
You give beauty for ashes  
You turn shame into glory  
You’re the only one who can  

You turn graves into gardens  
You turn bones into armies  
You turn seas into highways  
You’re the only one who can  

Christian 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.  
As Jesus taught, we will love our neighbors as ourselves:  
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.
