Call to Worship | Romans 5:5, Psalm 105:1-2
Leader: 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.
All: Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
Song of Praise | Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before thee
Who was, and is
And evermore shall be
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in power
In love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Song of Praise | Great Are You Lord
You give life, You are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are you Lord
It’s Your breath, in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath, in our lungs
So we pour out our praise for You only
All the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry
These bones will sing
Great are You Lord
Prayer of Adoration (Concluded by 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.
Doxology | Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Amen
Prayer of Confession
Eternal God, in whom we live and move and have our being, your face is hidden from us by our sins, and we forget your mercy in the blindness of our hearts.
Cleanse us from all our offenses, and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires.
With lowliness and meekness may we draw near to you, confessing our faults, confiding in your grace, and finding in you our refuge and strength; through Jesus Christ your Son.
Amen.
Silent Confession
Words of Encouragement | 1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Membership Vows
Song of Response | How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the chosen one
Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life;
I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer,
But this I know with all my heart:
His wounds have paid my ransom.
Offering
Gracious God, everything we have comes from you. As we remember who you are and all you have done for us, enable us to be truly generous—with our money, our time, and all we are and have. Use what we give for your glory and the good of our city. Amen.
Greetings and Announcements
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. (NIV)
Sermon | Led by the Spirit (Part 1) by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi
Song of Response | There Is a Redeemer
There is a Redeemer,
Jesus God’s own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah
Holy One
Thank You, O my Father
For giving us Your Son
And leaving Your Spirit ’til
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
For giving us Your Son
And leaving Your Spirit ’til
The work on earth is done
When I stand in glory
I will see His face
And there I’ll serve my King forever
In that holy place
Thank You, O my Father
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit ’til
Your work on earth is done
Thank You, O my Father
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit ’til
Your work on earth is done
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 and Dismissal
Minister: Let us go forth to serve the world as those who love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All: Thanks be to God!
