in Liturgy & Sermons

Welcome to Sojourn’s weekly worship music set list review & service recap. You’ll not only read a list of the songs we led but also the readings and prayers from our liturgy. You can also watch the video stream of the full service from our Facebook page (see a video of our sermon alone below).

Worship Director Justin Shaffer directs our liturgy, collaborating with our Creative Staff at Sojourn Church New Albany and our Liturgy writing team (Rebekah Carroll, Ryan Marsh, Libby Thorngate, and Lindsey Blair).

This week we celebrated Trinity Sunday, and Pastor Travis McGowen preached from 1 John 4.

CALL TO WORSHIP:   Liturgist

Good morning! Welcome to sojourn this Trinity Sunday! 

 

Lord, our Lord,

    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory

    in the heavens.

Lord, our Lord,

    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

      -Psalm 8: 1, 9 NIV

       

Let’s praise the eternal three-in-one together 

 

—Song 2: “All Creatures of Our God and King” Key, Leader

 

CONFESSION:  Band Member

[Spoken Text]

 

8 Does not wisdom call out?

    Does not understanding raise her voice?

2 At the highest point along the way,

    where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

3 beside the gate leading into the city,

    at the entrance, she cries aloud:

4 “To you, O people, I call out;

    I raise my voice to all mankind.

-Proverbs 8:1-4 NIV 

 

—Song 3: “All I Have” Key, Leader

 

ASSURANCE & GIVING: Liturgist

Hear the word of the Lord: 

 

5 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

 

3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

   -Romans 5:1-5 NLT

 

—Song 4: “Jireh” Key, Leader

 

PASSING OF THE PEACE: Band Member

As we just read moments ago, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Let’s greet one another in that peace 🙂

BENEDICTION: Liturgist

May the peace of God, our heav’nly Father, 

And the grace of Christ, the risen Son, 

And the fellowship of God the Spirit 

Keep our hearts and minds within His love. 

 

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign; 

From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven 

We declare the name of the Lamb once slain— 

Christ eternal, the King of Kings.  

 

May this peace which passes understanding, 

And this grace which makes us what we are, 

And this fellowship of His communion, 

Make us one in spirit and in heart.

 

Peace be with you!

 

And also with you!
