Prelude
Welcome | Jamie Yoo, Senior Director of Community & Counseling
Call to Worship | Revelation 15:3
Leader: Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty.
All: Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.
Song of Praise | 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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
(Bridge – 4x)
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
(Chorus)
Song of Praise | May the Mind of Christ My Savior
May the mind of Christ, my Savior
Live in me from day to day
By His love and power keeping
All I do and say
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power
(Chorus)
May the love of Jesus
Be like waters of the sea
Filling heart and soul and mind
With silent majesty
Seeing ever more of Him
And ever less of me
This is victory
May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything
That I may be holy comfort
To the suffering
May the light of Christ shine through me
As He seeks the lost to win
And may they forget the channel
Seeing only Him
(Chorus)
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.
Silent Praise and Thanksgiving
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
Forgive our sins, O Lord.
Forgive the sins of our youth and the sins of our age,
The sins of our soul and the sins of our body,
Our secret and our whispering sins,
Our presumptuous and our careless sins,
The sins we have done to please ourselves, and the sins we have done to please others.
Forgive them, O Lord, because of your great goodness.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Silent Confession
Words of Encouragement | 1 John 1:8-9
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Prayers of the People
Song of Praise | When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Greetings and Announcements
Scripture Reading | Psalm 32:1-11
1 Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered
2 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit
3 When I kept silent
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
11 Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
Sermon | Confession by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi
Reflection Song | Happy and Blessed
Blessed are the ones
Whose sins are forgiven
Freed from the curse
Of dishonest living
All their misdeeds
Are not held against them
How happy and blessed are the ones
In my silence I wasted away
Through my groaning each night and each day
But your hand that was heavy
Now shows me the way
O how happy and blessed are the ones
Blessed are the ones
Whose fault they admit to
And freely confess
The wrongs they can’t undo
He opens the door
And says “I forgive you”
How happy and blessed are the ones
In my silence I wasted away
Through my groaning each night and each day
But your hand that was heavy
Now shows me the way
O how happy and blessed are the ones
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, and be glad
Sing, all you who are upright in heart
Blessed are the ones
Now walking in freedom
Safe in the light
Of Christ and his kingdom
Learning from him
And all of his wisdom
How happy and blessed are the ones
Closing Song | Nothing but the Blood
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
(Chorus)
O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
(Chorus)
Glory! Glory! This I sing
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
All my praise for this I bring
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
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!
