Prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Hitherto Thy love has blessed me
Thou has brought me to this place
And I know Thy hand will bring me
Safely home by Thy good grace
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Oh to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Oh that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Full arrayed in blood-washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Bring Thy promises to pass
For I know Thy pow’r will keep me
Till I’m home with Thee at last
GENERAL CONFESSION
To be read aloud, together:
Almighty and most merciful Father,
We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.
READING OF THE WORD - Matthew 28:16-20
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS
Nothing can separate, even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes, but You have new mercies for me everyday,
Your love never fails
You stay the same through the ages, Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage, I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
The wind is strong and the water's deep, but I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide. I never thought I'd reach the other side,
but Your love never fails
You make all things work together for my good.
SONG: ALMIGHTY GOD
Almighty God to You all hearts are open
Search and know our thoughts and anxious fears
Wash us in the fountain of Your mercy
Come with Your light, we cannot hide from You
Almighty God To You all hearts are open
With gratitude we raise our song to You
Come and fill the praises of Your people
In grace and truth You make us new again
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Almighty God to You all hearts are open
We long for more than what this world provides
No shallow spring will ever satisfy us
But Your river deep Floods over everything
Almighty God to You all hearts are open
You take away our sickness and our sin
Oh Lamb of God we gather at Your table
In bread and wine You have supplied our needs
Almighty God, to You all hearts are open
Sermon - 2 Timothy 1:1-7
”The Power of Faith”
Communion
SONG: NO LONGER SLAVES
You unravel me with a melody, You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies 'til all my fears are gone
(repeat)
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God
From my mother's womb, You have chosen me, love has called my name
I’ve been born again into your family, Your blood flows through my veins
You split the sea so I could walk right through it,
My fears were drowned in perfect love!
You rescued me and I will stand and sing, “I am a child of God!”
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
