CALL TO WORSHIP
Spoken1 Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.
2 The Lord has made his salvation known
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
3 He has remembered his love
and his faithfulness to Israel;
all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God. -Psalm 98 NIV
Spoken
Revelation Song written by Jennie Lee Riddle.
CONFESSION
Spoken
12-13 God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.
-Hebrews 4:12-13 The Message
Spoken
Psalm 51 written by Jeremy Quillo.
CELEBRATION OF ASSURANCE/GIVING
Spoken
14-16 Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.
-Hebrews 4:14-16 The Message
Spoken
When the Savior Reached Down For Me written by G.E. Wright.
PASSING OF THE PEACE
Because God reached down for us, we can reach out and across the aisle to one another… harbingers of God’s grace and peace. Let’s enjoy this time of fellowship in God’s peace now 🙂
