Offering

Each of you should give what you have decided in your

heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for

God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Friendship Register

It's crowded in worship today As she slips in

Trying to fade into the faces

The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they

know Farther than they know

But if we are the Body Why aren't His

arms reaching Why aren't His

hands healing Why aren't His

words teaching

And if we are the Body Why aren't His feet going

Why is His love not showing them there is a way

There is a way

A traveler is far away from home

He sheds his coatAnd quietly sinks

into the back row

The weight of their judgmental glances tells

him that his chances Are better out on the road

But if we are the Body Why aren't His



words teaching

Jesus paid much too high a price

For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the Body of Christ

If we are the Body Why aren't His



words teaching



Jesus is the way

Galatians 6 p. 810

Grace and peace are yours through God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age.

Galatians 1

Christian discipline is synonymous with Christian love.

Galatians 2

The gospel is not, nor has it ever been about our righteous. The gospel is and always has been

about a righteousness that comes from God.

Galatians 3

DOor

DONE

Galatians 4

The fruit of the Spirit comes through the

freedom trail of the cross of Christ.

Galatians 5

Community

Galatians 6

Legalistic Community


1. People think they are “something” and deceive

themselves.


2. Consistent with comparisons.


3. Jostling for position.

Grace filled community


1. Extenuates sin as opposed to exaggerating

sin.


2. Is restorative.


3. Understand and applies what it means to be

spiritual.

LEGALISM IS ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE IT IS POPULAR – EVERYONE IS DOING IT. BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY IS ALWAYS CRUCIFORMED!

Confession of Faith

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and became fully human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who in unity with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Confession

L: God is light; in him there is no

darkness at all.

C: If we walk in the light as God himself is in the light, we have fellowship with

one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son,

cleanses us from all sin.

L: With steadfast love and wondrous

grace, the Lord desires to make us

clean.

(Silence for self-examination)

L: Almighty God,

C: You dwell in light

unapproachable. Unprotected, we

perish in your presence. For our hearts are

darkened,

our minds clouded; we call

for night to cover our

actions; we have often loved

darkness rather than the light.

L: Jesus Christ is the light of the

world, the light no darkness can

overcome.

C: Therefore, we look only to

Jesus for the forgiveness we so desperately

need.

L: As a Christ follower, God

hears your prayer. “I choose

to make you clean. Your sins

are forgiven,” the Savior says.

C: We have seen Jesus’

glory and his victory in the empty tomb.

Our sin debt has been paid in

full. We are free to rejoice!

Prayer of The Church

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our

sins as we forgive those who

sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver

us from evil, for the kingdom, the power and the

glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

The love of God,

And the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you

always!

Through you the blind will see, through you the mute will

singThrough you the dead will rise,

through you all hearts will praise

Through you the darkness flees,

through you my heart screams "I AM FREE"

I am free to run (I am free to run)I am free to dance (I am free to dance)

I am free to live for you (I am free to live for you)I am free (I am free)

Through you the blind will see, through you the mute will

singThrough you the dead will rise,

through you all hearts will praise

Through you the darkness flees,

through you my heart screams "I AM FREE"

Instrumental

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
