Invocation

Scripture: Revelation 7:9-17

⁹ After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰ They cried out in a loud voice, saying,

“Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb!”

¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² singing,

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honorand power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

¹³ Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?” ¹⁴ I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.” Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵ For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.¹⁶ They will hunger no more and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat,¹⁷ for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

“What a Mighty God We Serve”

Chorus

What a mighty God we serve​

What a mighty God we serve.​

Angels bow before Him,​

heav’n and earth adore Him;​

What a mighty God we serve.​

“It is Well, With my Soul”

Hymn #554

When peace like a river​

attendeth my way,​

When sorrows like sea billows roll,​

Whatever my lot, ​

Thou hast taught me to say,​

“It is well, it is well with my soul.”​

It is well ​

with my soul.​

It is well,​

It is well with my soul.​

Tho’ Satan should buffet,​

Tho’ trials should come,​

Let this blest assurance control,​

That Christ hath regarded​

My helpless estate,​

And hath shed His own blood​

For my soul.​

It is well ​

with my soul.​

It is well,​

It is well with my soul.​

My sin- O the bliss​

Of this glorious tho’t-​

My sin- not in part, but the whole-​

Is nailed to His cross,​

And I bear it no more!​

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,​

O my soul!​

It is well ​

with my soul.​

It is well,​

It is well with my soul.​

And, Lord, haste the day​

When the faith shall be sight,​

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,​

The trump shall resound​

And the Lord shall descend.​

Even so-​

It is well with my soul.​

It is well ​

with my soul.​

It is well,​

It is well with my soul.​

Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10, 22

¹ I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.² My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.³ O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

⁴ I sought the Lord, and he answered me    and delivered me from all my fears.⁵ Look to him, and be radiant, so your faces shall never be ashamed.⁶ This poor soul cried and was heard by the Lord    and was saved from every trouble.⁷ The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and delivers them.⁸ O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.⁹ O fear the Lord, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want.¹⁰ The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

²² The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

Invitation

Confession

Pardon 

Peace

Dear God, we often mess things up. We know we need your help. Forgive us for the bad things we do and forgive us for not doing good when we could. Forgive us when we ignore Jesus and make bad decisions.​

Forgive us when others do bad things, we do bad things back. Forgive us for when we don’t share, forgive us for when we hit with fists or with words. Forgive us for when we focus on screens instead of people.​

Forgive us when we aren’t grateful for what we have and keep asking for more. Set us free from our self centered ways. Make us like you, loving the whole world. In Jesus name we pray, Amen ​

Hear the good news, ​

Christ died for us while we were still sinners, ​

which proves God’s love for us. ​In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven.​

In the name of Jesus Christ,​

You Are forgiven ​

Glory to God, Amen.  ​

Pastoral Prayer

Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3

¹ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. ² Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. ³ And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

“I Speak Jesus”

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus​

Over every heart and every mind​

I know there is peace within Your presence​

I speak Jesus​

​

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus​

‘Til every dark addiction starts to break​

Declaring there is hope and there is freedom​

Your name is power​

Your name is healing​

Your name is life​

Break every stronghold​

Shine through the shadows​

Burn like a fire​

​

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus​

Over fear and all anxiety​

To every soul held captive by depression​

3I speak Jesus​

​

Shout Jesus from the mountains​

And Jesus in the streets​

Jesus in the darkness over every enemy​

Jesus for my family​

I speak the holy name Jesus​

​

Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12

¹ When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. ² And he began to speak and taught them, saying:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

⁵ “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

⁶ “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

⁷ “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

⁸ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

⁹ “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

¹⁰ “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“Living Saints”

Communion

The Communion Supper, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, which proclaims His life, His sufferings, His sacrificial death and resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. Brothers and sisters in Christ,​the Christian life is redeemed from sin and consecrated to God.​The Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit. ​

It is to be received in reverent appreciation and gratefulness for the work of Christ. All those who are truly repentant, forsaking their sins, and believing in Christ for salvation are invited to participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit. ​

In unity with the Church, we confess our faith: ​Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. ​

Holy God, We gather at this, your table, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who by your Spirit was anointed to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, set at liberty those who are oppressed.​

2-17 Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, ate with sinners, and established the new covenant for forgiveness of sins. We live in the hope of His coming again. ​

On the night in which He was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.​

Likewise, when the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.” Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ​

And so, we gather as the Body of Christ to offer ourselves to you in praise and thanksgiving. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on these your gifts. Make them by the power of your Spirit to be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the Body of Christ, redeemed by His blood. ​

By your Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in the ministry of Christ to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, let us pray: ​

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen​
