Song of Praise | Jesus What a Friend for Sinners
Jesus! What a friend for sinners
Jesus! Lover of my soul
Friends may fail me, foes assail me
He, my Savior, makes me whole
(Chorus)
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a friend!
Saving, helping
Keeping, loving
He is with me to the end
Jesus! What a strength in weakness
Let me hide myself in Him
Tempted, tried and sometimes failing
He my strength, my victory wins
(Chorus)
Jesus! What a Help in sorrow
While the billows over me roll
Even when my heart is breaking
He, my Comfort, helps my soul
(Chorus)
Jesus! I do now receive Him
More than all in Him I find
He hath granted me forgiveness
I am His, and He is mine
(Chorus)
Song of Praise | God So Loved
Come all you weary
Come all you thirsty
Come to the well that never runs dry
Drink of the water
Come and thirst no more
Come all you sinners
Come find His mercy
Come to the table He will satisfy
Taste of His goodness
Find what you’re looking for
For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us
Whoever believes in Him will live forever
Bring all your failures
Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross
Jesus is waiting there
With open arms
For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us
Whoever believes in Him will live forever
The power of hell forever defeated
Now it is well I’m walking in freedom
For God so loved God so loved the world
Praise God praise God
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him praise Him
For the wonders of His love
Praise God praise God
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him praise Him
For the wonders of His love
For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save
Bring all your failures
Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross
Jesus is waiting
God so loved the world

Forgive our sins, O Lord.
Forgive the sins of our youth and the sins of our age,

Song of Response | There Is a River
There is a river whose streams make glad
The city of God
That I’ll think upon
When everything’s wrong
Healing the trouble and pain that I have
With the sweetest of songs
In the city of God
Where I belong
(Chorus)
The Lord Almighty is with us
The Holy Spirit within us
Says to be still and know
He is God
The Lord Almighty is for us
So I will join the chorus
Singing exalted is the Lord
There is a room that is waiting for me
In the city of God
That I think upon
To help me go on
Giving me courage to hope and to sing
When the mountains fall down
When chaos abounds
The promise resounds
(Chorus)
There will be peace
Our God will order the days
There in his keep
Lit up by his own dear face
We’ll be released
From every fear and ache
We’ll be released
From every fear and ache
(Chorus)
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 | 1 Corinthians 12:1-7, 18-21, 27
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Sermon | Gifts to Serve by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi
Song of Response | Take My Life and Let It Be
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in endless praise
Let them flow in endless praise
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee
Swift and beautiful for Thee
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee
Filled with messages from Thee
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee
Ever, only, all for Thee
Song of Response | King of Kings
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope, without light
‘Til from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
(Chorus)
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake you died
(Chorus)
And the morning that You rose
All of Heaven held its breath
‘Til that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored
And the church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not faint
By His blood and in His name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
(Chorus)
Praise forever to the King of Kings
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!
