Our central aim is to understand the gospel in all its fullness and apply the gospel to all of life: the grace of God toward us in Christ, the presence of God

with and through his people, and the movement of God to renew all things.

C A L L T O W O R S H I PPsalm 96:1-5, 11-13

S O N G P R A I S E T H E LO R D, Y E H E AV E N SPraise the Lord Ye heavens adore him, praise Him, angels, in the height Sun and moon, rejoice before him, praise Him, all ye stars of light

Praise the Lord for He hath spoken, worlds His mighty voice obeyed Laws which never shall be broken, for their guidance He hath made

All creation join the song of praiseLet every tongue declare His mighty ways And we will sing of Your goodness and mercy all of our days

Praise the Lord for He is glorious, never shall his promise fail God hath made His saints victorious, sin and death shall not prevail Sin and death shall not prevail

Glory! Glory! All glory to You Lord!

Praise the God of our salvation, hosts on high, His power proclaim Heaven and earth, and all creation, laud and magnify His nameLaud and magnify His name

C O N F E S S I O N O F S I N We confess that even though we have been united with Christ, our thoughts and words are divisive. We have been comforted with His love, but have withheld our love from others. We have fellowship with the Spirit of God, yet we still seek our own way. Forsaking unity, we have acted out of selfish ambition. Exalting ourselves, we have sought to be praised. Neglecting our neighbor, we have looked to our own interests above all else. But You, oh Lord, have not withheld your love from us. You became poor so that we might gain everything. Have mercy upon us, according to your great compassion through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON1 John 4:9-12

S O N G K I N G O F K I N G SIn the darkness we were waiting, without hope without lightTill from heaven You came humbly, there was mercy in Your eyesTo fulfill the law and prophets, to a virgin came the WordFrom a throne of endless glory, to a cradle in the dirt

To reveal the kingdom coming, and to reconcile the lostTo redeem the whole creation, You did not despise the crossFor even in Your suffering, You saw to the other sideKnowing this was our salvation, Jesus for our sake You died

Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit three in oneGod of glory, Majesty, Praise forever to the King of Kings

And the morning that He rose, when our Lord regained His breathThen the stone was moved for good, for the Lamb had conquered deathAnd the dead rose from their tombs, and the angels stood in aweFor the souls of all who’d come, to the Father are restored

And the church of Christ was born, Then the Spirit lit the flameNow this gospel truth of old, shall not kneel, shall not faintBy His blood and in His Name, in His freedom I am freeFor the love of Jesus Christ, who has resurrected me

P R O F E S S I O N O F FA I T H A D A P T E D F R O M P H I L I P P I A N S 2We believe the Word was in the form of God and did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped. He emptied himself, took the form of a servant, and was born in our own likeness. We believe he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death on a cross. We believe God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name that is above every name. We believe that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth; and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

S O N G C H R I S T S U R R E N D E R E D A L LAll, Lord Jesus, You surrendered, all to us You freely gave All our sin You bravely shouldered, for the world, to heal and save

All, Lord Jesus, You surrendered, all your rights You left behind Trading might for humble weakness, for the good of all mankind

Christ surrendered all, Christ surrendered all For His bride and our salvation, Christ surrendered all

All Your life is now our merit, all Your death our ransom paid Now we feel no condemnation, just a love that cannot fade

S O N G C O M E B E H O L D T H E W O N D R O U S MY S T E R YCome behold the wondrous mystery; in the dawning of the KingHe the theme of heavens praises; robed in frail humanityIn our longing, in our darkness; now the light of life has comeLook to Christ, who condescended; took on flesh to ransom us

Come behold the wondrous mystery; He the perfect Son of ManIn His living, in His suffering; never trace nor stain of sinSee the true and better Adam; come to save the hell-bound manChrist the great and sure fulfillment; of the law; in Him we stand

Come behold the wondrous mystery; Christ the Lord upon the treeIn the stead of ruined sinners; hangs the Lamb in victorySee the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfoldBringing many sons to glory; grace unmeasured, love untold

Come behold the wondrous mystery; slain by death the God of lifeBut no grave could e’er restrain Him; praise the Lord; He is alive!What a foretaste of deliverance; how unwavering our hopeChrist in power resurrected; as we will be when he comes
