Worship Service for October 25, 2020 at 11 AM

Welcome

Invocation

Confession and Forgiveness:

P: Our Heavenly Father asks us to come into His presence, But we are sinful and unworthy. Truly, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but Jesus Christ died on the cross that we may be forgiven and washed clean of all our sins by His blood poured out on the cross.

C: Lord, if You wash us, we will certainly be clean and pure.

P: We join together in singing, “At the Cross”

At the Cross (Love Ran Red)

There’s a place, where mercy reigns and never dies
There’s a place, where streams of grace flows deep and wide

Pre-Chorus:
All the love, I’ve ever found, Comes like a flood, comes flowing down

Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life
I’m in awe of you; I’m in awe of you
Where your love ran red, and my sins washed white
I owe all to you, I owe all to you, Jesus

There’s a place, where sin and shame are powerless
Where my heart has peace with God, and forgiveness

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

P: We take a moment to bow before the His cross and silently reflect on our lives and confess our sins.

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

C: Heavenly Father, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart and have not loved our neighbor as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ and His suffering and death on the cross, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen

At the Cross (Love Ran Red) continues…

Bridge:
Here my hope is found, here on holy ground. Here I bow down, here I bow down
Here arms open wide, here you saved my life. Here I bow down, here I bow

(Repeat Bridge)

Pre-Chorus:
All the love, I’ve ever found, Comes like a flood, comes flowing down

Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life. I’m in awe of you; I’m in awe of you
Where your love ran red, and my sins washed white. I owe all to you, I owe all to you, Jesus

(Repeat Chorus)

P: The Lord our God is merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. Therefore I announce unto you the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In His stead and by the command of my Lord Jesus Christ, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C: Amen.

Song of Praise and Thanksgiving: O Praise the Name (Anástasis)

I cast my mind to Calvary, Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet. My Savior on that cursed tree
His body bound and drenched in tears. They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone. Messiah still and all alone

Chorus:
O praise the Name of the Lord our God. O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days, we will sing Your praise. Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Then on the third, at break of dawn, The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting. The angels roar for Christ the King

(Chorus)

He shall return in robes of white. The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints, My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

(Chorus 2x)

…Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Old Testament Reading – Deuteronomy 6:5-7

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

Gospel Reading – John 12:44-50

Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

“If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”

Children’s Message

Verse 1:

Let our foundation be Built on your majesty

Let every word you speak Fill this home

Jesus our cornerstone. The anchor for our souls

Your glory will be shown By our love

As for me and my house, As for me and my house. We will serve you. We will serve you

Verse 2:

We stand on Holy Ground. This is where lost get found

There’s nothing but new life To be found

(Chorus)

This is a house where idols fall. This is a house where dead man walk

This is a house where freedoms calls. Can you hear it now, hear it now?

(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Sermon – Series: Households of Faith
Week 3: “Spiritual Conversations”

Colossians 4:2-6

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Prayers

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God
the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen
