The ultimate key to joining together in radical obedience to Christ is found in fostering a humble view of ourselves and a high view of God in the church. [Let us]
give ourselves in total abandonment for His great purpose in the world: the declaration of His gospel and the demonstration of His glory to all the peoples of the earth.

Psalm 100Leader: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God!
People: It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Exodus 33:12-23
Worship in Song
- silent confession -
Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God!
This is a time to be honest with God about our sin and ask Him for forgiveness through Jesus.
Having been reconciled with God through Christ, we can share peace with one another and participate in His work.
Community LifeUpdate and prayer: Cameron Strange’s 3 month internship
Heavenly Father, You command us to love You completely, but we have not. We often treasure Your gifts more than we treasure Your Son.And we complain about our life rather than rejoice in Your grace.
You taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, but we have not done that either! Instead of seeking peace with them, we gossip and hold grudges.And instead of serving them, we mainly serve ourselves.
In the name of Jesus, our Savior, forgive us!Renew us in Your Spirit, and increase our faith and joy as we follow You.We praise You for Your steadfast love and mercy. Amen.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1
Sermon
Leader: The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.People: Praise be to God!
Isaiah 40:8
God feeds us with His Word
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
Today’s sermon is given by Senior Pastor Matt Lorish.
The Lord’s Supper
As others take communion please feel free to pray, sing along, or talk quietly with your neighbor.
The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Leader: Therefore, we proclaim the mystery of our faith:People: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
