Vision Statement
All: We want to be a Jesus centered community, living purposely present in the world, being empowered by the Spirit, to seek the redemption of all things.
Psalm 145:8-13
8 “The Lord is merciful and compassionate,
very patient, and full of faithful love.
9 The Lord is good to everyone and everything;
God’s compassion extends to all his handiwork!”
10 All that you have made gives thanks to you, Lord;
all your faithful ones bless you!
11 They speak of the glory of your kingdom;
they talk all about your power,
12 to inform all human beings about God’s power
and the majestic glory of God’s kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is a kingship that lasts forever;
your rule endures for all generations.
The Lord is trustworthy in all that he says,
faithful in all that he does.
One: This is the Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.
Song: This is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness?
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger?
The King of glory, the King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder?
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder?
The King of glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me
Who brings our chaos back into order?
Who makes the orphans a son and daughter?
The King of glory, the King of glory
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of glory, the King above all kings
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy
Song: Great I AM
I want to be close, close to Your side
So Heaven is real and death is a lie
I want to hear voices, of angels above
Singing as one
Hallelujah, holy holy
God Almighty, Great I AM
Who is worthy? None beside Thee
God Almighty, Great I AM
I want to be near, near to Your heart
Loving the world, hating the dark
I want to see dry bones living again
Singing as one
The mountains shake before Him
The demons run and flee
At the mention of the name, King of Majesty
There is no power in hell
Or any who can stand
Before the power and the presence of the Great I AM
The Great I AM, the Great I AM
The Great I AM, the Great I AM
The Great I AM
Song: Beautiful Things
All this pain
I wonder if I'll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change
At all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground
At all
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found
In You
You make me new You are making me new
You make me new You are making me new
(REPEAT)
Scripture: Matthew 7:1-14
“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2 You’ll receive the same judgment you give. Whatever you deal out will be dealt out to you. 3 Why do you see the splinter that’s in your brother’s or sister’s eye, but don’t notice the log in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother or sister, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ when there’s a log in your eye? 5 You deceive yourself! First take the log out of your eye, and then you’ll see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s or sister’s eye. 6 Don’t give holy things to dogs, and don’t throw your pearls in front of pigs. They will stomp on the pearls, then turn around and attack you.
7 “Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door is opened. 9 Who among you will give your children a stone when they ask for bread? 10 Or give them a snake when they ask for fish? 11 If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. 12 Therefore, you should treat people in the same way that you want people to treat you; this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Go in through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to destruction is broad and the road wide, so many people enter through it. 14 But the gate that leads to life is narrow and the road difficult, so few people find it.
24 “Everybody who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise builder who built a house on bedrock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It didn’t fall because it was firmly set on bedrock. 26 But everybody who hears these words of mine and doesn’t put them into practice will be like a fool who built a house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It fell and was completely destroyed.”
28 When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were amazed at his teaching 29 because he was teaching them like someone with authority and not like their legal experts.
Communion
All who are hungry for the grace of God are invited to Christ’s table where we remember his life and death, experience his grace, and are invited to follow the crucified Christ.
Song: Fade Away
Speak to me
You’re the only voice I want to hear
Walk with me
Show me who You are as I draw near
If You’re not in it
Then I don’t want it
Let all else fade away
Take the whole world
But give me Jesus
Let all else fade away
Satisfy
You’re the only one I’ll ever need
Holy fire
Burn away the old that stands between
Cause Your name
Is the only name that matters
Your heart
Is all that I desire
Not my will
But Yours alone forever
Here’s my life, have Your way
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Benediction
We invite you to stretch your arms out in a position of receiving as we pronounce a blessing on you.
Benediction Song
Oh with Jesus, as our center
And the Spirit that dwells in us
May we see your Kingdom coming
In our hearts and in our world
May we live ever present
And seek your Kingdom first
Oh, God bring redemption
And start the work in us
