* Call to Worship:

As we worship let us cry out to the Lord that hears our prayers. Lord we will give you thanks, for you answered us; you have become our salvation.

Because of Jesus' sacrifice humanity can receive relief and liberty from injustice. Hallelujah, the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. Let us shout for God's salvation to rescue us from oppression. The Lord has done

this and it is marvelous in our eyes. To God be the Glory.

* Evocation (in unison)

Holy Spirit, we bless you for what you have done this very day. We rejoice today and are glad. Let our cries and sacrifice of praise please you. For you have saved us from injustice and given us success against our oppressors.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Blessed Assurance (I Sing)

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long This is my story, this is my song

I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free

Oh, His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me

Our God is Awesome

My God is awesome He can move mountains

Keep me in the valley, hide me from the rain My God is awesome, heals me when I’m broken

Strength where I’ve been weakened Forever He will reign

My God is awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome (repeat)

My God is awesome Savior of the whole world

Giver of salvation, by His stripes I am healed My God is awesome, today I am forgiven

His grace is why I’m living, praise His holy name

He’s mighty, He’s mighty, He’s mighty, He’s mighty Awesome, awesome

He’s Holy… He’s Great… He’s mighty…Deliverer… He’s holy…Provider…Protector…

Worship Medley

Jesus, I'll never forget what You've done for me Jesus, I'll never forget how You set me free

Jesus, I'll never forget what You've done for me Jesus, I'll never forget how You set me free

In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus We have the victory

In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus Satan, you have to flee

Oh, tell me who can stand before us when we call on that great name

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, we have the victory

Victory is mine, I told Satan, to get thee behind

Victory today is mine.

Joy is mine….

Peace is mine...

Love is mine…

‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise,

And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me’ Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end.

Doxology

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

Spiritual Growth Challenge March 2016: Sacrifice

Week 4 – Practice Dates: March 20th – March 26th Text: “So then, my friends, because of God's great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer.” (Romans 12: 1, Good News Translation) Thought: On the basis of God's mercy, Paul urges Christians to offer their themselves to God as a living sacrifice. At first, this appeal sounds contradictory and unreasonable. How does one become a living sacrifice? Paul is entreating us to lay down our lives at God’s worshipful altar of service. Lifelong service to God requires an uncomfortable sacrifice of personal desires, drives and duties. In order to please God, we are admonished to offer our total selves in total sacrifice. A life surrendered to the service of the kingdom is an acceptable offering of worship to God. Task:

» Do I conduct myself in such a way as to be a living sacrifice to God? » If so, how do I offer myself as a living sacrifice to God on a consistent basis?

» Is my service of God, to God, and for God truly a form of worship? » If so, how is that the case?

» Where is there room for improvement in these two areas in my life?

A Time to Pray: God in heaven, hear my prayer. During this Lenten season especially, reach out to me. Touch my heart, my mind and my soul. Encourage me with and empower by Your own example of the ultimate sacrifice You made for me through Your son Jesus Christ. Help me to be a living sacrifice – not just to talk aboutbeing one. Holy Spirit, guide me so that my thoughts, words and deeds may serve and glorify God and be pleasing in His sight. Help me to give, without reservation, sacrificially of my time, talent and treasure-- not only because it is the right thing to do, nor just because of Your great mercy, but because I truly want to praise and worship You, my God, with more than words. I dedicate myself to Your service, Lord God, that my praise and worship may be holy and acceptable to You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
