Welcome
Call to Worship – Romans 5:5, Psalm 105:1-2
God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Song of Praise | My King Forever
You gave Your life for mine
Nailed to the cross You crucified
All my sin and shame
It was washed by Your mercy
You are the treasure I find
My reason for living
So let my life become an offering
To the One who is worthy
All praise to the Lord most high
All praise to the One who saved my life
All praise to Jesus Christ
High King of heaven my King forever
You stormed the gates of my heart
The veil in between was torn apart
Now You hold the keys to the grave
‘Cause You bring things to life
You roll stones away
I lift my hands up lay my whole life down
My whole life down before You
I lift my hands up lay my whole life down
My whole life now is for You
All praise to the Lord most high
All praise to the One who saved my life
All praise to Jesus Christ
High King of heaven my King forever
Prayers of the People
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 debts as we forgive our debtors. 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.
Song of Praise | 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
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
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
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
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

Scripture Reading | Romans 8:14-17
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Sermon | Led by the Spirit (Part 1) by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi
Response Time
Heidelberg Catechism
Q. What is your only comfort in life and death?
A. That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

There is a Redeemer,
Jesus God’s own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah
Holy One
Thank You, O my Father

The work on earth is done
Jesus my Redeemer
Name above all names
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah
O for sinners slain
Thank You, O my Father

And there I’ll serve my King forever
In that holy place

Song of Response | No Longer Slaves
You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
From my mother’s womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I’ve been born again to your family
Your blood flows through my veins
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
You split the sea, so I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me so I could stand and say
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
Song of Response | Good Good Father
I’ve heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased
And that I’m never alone
(Chorus)
You’re a Good Good Father
It’s who You are
It’s who You are
It’s who You are
And I’m loved by You
It’s who I am
It’s who I am
It’s who I am
I’ve seen many searching for answers
Far and wide
But I know we’re all searching for answers
Only You provide
Because You know just what we need
Before we say a word
(Chorus)
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
To us
Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love
Benediction
