CALL TO WORSHIP
Good morning! Welcome to sojourn! Whenever we gather together, we want all of what we do to be a response to God… what he has said, what he has done… and who he IS. The same voice that thunders over all creation, speaks a gracious invitation to you and me. Let’s read the Word of the Lord together.
The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.
The God of glory thunders.
The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.
-Psalm 29:3-4 NLT
Let’s stand and sing together.
Our God by Christ Tomlin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, Jonah Myrin.
CONFESSION
Many things would seek to divide our heart… and often we willfully plod down the wide and futile path seeking fulfillment instead of following Jesus down the narrow path that leads to life. Our guilt, our fear, our shame pulls us sideways, spins us out, and into the many pitfalls along the way. Yet God patiently and persistently calls us back again, finds us when we wander, and patiently listens as we bring our war stories to Him. So let us rejoice in him as his word teaches:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice…The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
-Philippians 4:5a, 6 NIV
Be Still My Soul by Katharina von Schlegel.
ASSURANCE & GIVING
…whole heart…
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
Forever. -Psalm 23 NLT
What a glorious hope and promise!

None But Thee by John Fellows, Eric J. Marshall.
PASSING OF THE PEACE
…and it’s by grace that we have peace and reconciliation with one another, so let’s live into that peace now as we greet one another 🙂

BENEDICTION
With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. [Go in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Peace be with you!]
