Welcome

Opening Song: Down In My Heart

I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, (where?)
Down in my heart, (where?), down in my heart.
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, (where?)
Down in my heart to stay.

Chorus:
And I’m so happy, so very happy.
I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart.
And I’m so happy, so very happy.
I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart

I’ve got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart…

(Chorus)

I’ve got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus, down in my heart…

(Chorus)

I’ve got the wonderful love of my blessed redeemer way down in the depths of my heart…

Invocation

Confession and Forgiveness:

P: We have come here today to worship the Lord.  In worship we hear the Word of God, we receive God’s blessings, and respond with thanks and praise.  We begin by seeking God’s blessing of forgiveness.  He has promised to remove the guilt and shame of our sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.

(a time of silence to reflect and personally confess our sins) 

P: Let us confess our sins to the Lord. 

P: Heavenly Father,
C: Heavenly Father,

P: I have done things that were wrong.
C: I have done things that were wrong.

P: I have been mean to others.
C: I have been mean to others.

P: I have not obeyed my parents.
C: I have not obeyed my parents.

P: I have not obeyed You, God.
C: I have not obeyed You, God.

P: But I am very sorry.
C: But I am very sorry.

P: Please forgive me.
C: Please forgive me.

P: I love You very much.
C: I love You very much.

P: And I know You love me, too.
C: And I know You love me, too.

P: Amen.
C: Amen.

P: God has heard your apology.  He loves you very much.  God has told us that when we believe and trust in Him, He makes us His children.  As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us. He has told me to tell you that you are forgiven.  So, as His servant, I forgive you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 
C: Amen.

Yes, Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so. 

Verse 2:
Jesus loves me, He who died, Heaven’s gates to open wide.

Children’s Message “Jesus Is on a Mission”

Song: Mighty To Save

 

Everyone needs compassion, a Love that’s never failing.
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a savior.
The hope of nations 

Chorus:
Savior, He can move the mountains.
My God is mighty to save. He is mighty to save.
Forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave. Jesus conquered the grave. 

So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures,
And fill my life again.
I give my life to follow everything I believe in.
Now I surrender. (I surrender) 

(Chorus)

Shine your light and let the whole world see singing,
For the glory of the risen king, Jesus.
Shine your light and let the whole world see singing,
For the glory of the risen king

Gospel Reading – Mark 1:16-20

Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise be to You, O Christ.

Sermon Hymn: Now All The Vault Of Heaven Resounds (sit)

 

Now all the vault of Heav’n resounds,
In praise of love that still abound,
“Christ has triumphed! He is living!”
Sing, choirs of angels, loud and clear.
Repeat their song of glory here.
“Christ has triumphed! Christ has triumphed!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.”

 

Eternal is the gift He brings.
Therefore, our heart with rapture sings,
“Christ has triumphed! He is living!”
Now, still, He comes to give us life,
And by His presence stills all strife.
Christ has triumphed! He is living!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 

Adoring praises now we bring
And with the heavenly blessed sing,
“Christ has triumphed, Alleluia!
Be to the Father, and our Lord,
To Spirit blest, most holy God,
All the glory, never-ending!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.“               © 1989,1994 Lorenz Publishing Company

Come all you weary. Come all you thirsty.

Come all you sinners. Come find His mercy.
Come to the table. He Will satisfy.
Taste of His goodness. Find what you’re looking for.

For God so loved the World that He gave us,
His one and only Son to save us.

Come lay them down at the Foot of the cross.
Jesus is waiting there with open arms.

The power of Hell forever defeated.
Now, it is well. I’m Walking in freedom.
For God so loved, God so loved the world.
