CALL TO WORSHIP: Liturgist
Themes: God’s faithfulness even unto the cross and in spite of our worst failure
Good morning! Welcome. Let’s stand, join voices, and shout out what God has done for us!
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
2 Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!
Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
8 Let them praise the Lord for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
-Psalm 107:1-2, 8 NLT
—Song 1: “Salvation’s Tide” Key, Leader
CONFESSION/LAMENT: Band Member
Hear the words of Jesus, our Lord:
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
-John 3:18-21 NIV
[Three very brief prompts: 1. Prayer for unbelieving friend 2. Remember the Monday challenge and pray that we would “live by the truth and come into the light” 3. That we may find rest and peace in the light and know that God sees the good deeds we do quietly.
—Song 2: “Old Rugged Cross” Key, Leader
ASSURANCE & GIVING: Liturgist
Hear this glorious assurance:
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
-John 3:14-17 NIV
(Music should be playing so that we can start singing within seconds of the Assurance)
—Song 3: “Jesus Paid it All” Key, Leader
PASSING OF THE PEACE: Band Member
Let’s greet one another like the family we are, washed white as snow, and at peace 🙂

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Reader
BENEDICTION: Liturgist
He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen! [Go in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Peace be with you!]
–1 Tim. 6:15b-16
