Welcome

Prelude

~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship Isaiah 25:6-9, 1

Pastor
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.

Congregation
And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations.

Pastor
He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day,

Congregation
“Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” O LORD, you are our God; we will exalt you; we will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

Song Christ Our Hope In Life and Death (CCLI#251645)

What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence? That our souls to Him belong.

Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

Refrain:
O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal; O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever, we confess Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul? God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ? Refrain

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.

There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore. Refrain-2X

Now and ever, we confess Christ our hope in life and death.

Prayer of Worship

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need
Almighty God, you have remembered your covenant mercy to us through Jesus. He came to redeem us from all our sins and to set us free to serve you all our days. But instead, we have often chosen our own way, followed our own paths, walked according to our own counsel. Forgive us, O God. Do not cast us away, but rather remember the mercy that you promised to our fathers and to us. Grant us grace to rest in your promises and to live out of obedient gratitude before you. For the sake of Christ Jesus, your Son and our Lord, cleanse us from all our unrighteousness and create new affections in our hearts. Amen.

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Song Spirit of God (CCLI#251645)

The blessing of the Father, | Gift of grace and love.
The promise of the Savior | For power from above.
Oh, wondrous gift that’s given, | For confidence and mission
Holy Spirit, You make all things new.

Chorus: Spirit of God, | breathe on me now.
Source of life, come, revive my weary heart.
Spirit of God, | shine on me now.
Light of life, come, ignite my longing heart.

Come and lift the dark clouds | Of doubt and unbelief.
Shine upon my soul now, | For by Your rays I see,
Clearer, closer, deeper, | The love of my Redeemer.
Holy Spirit, You make all things new Chorus

Bridge:
Where You breathe hope thrives, | The dead return to life.
And the dark must flee | the breaking day.
By Your light I see | the glory of my King.
Beholding Him I will be changed. Chorus
