Call to Worship
We know that the Son of God has come
and has given us understanding.
So now we can know the one who is true,
and we live in that true God.
We are in his Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the true God, and he is eternal life.
Therefore, come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
– 1 John 5:20 & Psalm 95:1
God With Us
You’ve come to bring peace, to be love
To be nearer to us
You’ve come to bring life, to be light
To shine brighter in us
O Emmanuel, God with us
Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us
You’ve come to be hope to this world
For your honor and name
You’ve come to take sin, to bear shame
And to conquer the grave
O Emmanuel, God with us
Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us
You are here, you are holy
We are standing in your glory
You are here, you are holy
We are standing in your glory, Lord
Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us…
Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us
God with us, you are God with us

Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more
Feed me till I want no more
Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee
I will ever give to thee

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts – White as Snow
I cling to the Lamb
Who has purchased me with his own blood
And I stand in his righteousness
Washed by his mercy and love
Though I fail a thousand times
Lord, your mercies are new every morning
Wash my heart clean
Let my spirit be steadfast and strong
All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool
All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool
A broken and contrite heart, you do not despise
Wash over me
Clean my heart, clean my mind, clean my eyes
All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool
All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool

Uncreated One
Holy uncreated One
Your beauty fills the skies
But the glory of your majesty
Is the mercy in your eyes
Worthy uncreated One
From heaven to earth come down
You laid aside your royalty
To wear the sinner’s crown
O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you
Jesus Savior, God’s own Son
Risen reigning Lord
Sustainer of the universe
By the power of your word
O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you
And when we see your matchless face
In speechless awe we’ll stand
And there we’ll bow with grateful hearts
Unto the great I AM
O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you
O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Sermon
“A Sacrifice of Reputation”
John 15:18-16:1
Prayer of Confession
You, O Lord, are a merciful Father,
who has compassion on all
who flee to you in repentance and faith.
Mercifully forgive our transgressions;
receive us and comfort us,
we who are grieved and weary
of the burden of our sins.
Fill us with your Spirit,
who delights to declare again and again
the mystery of the Gospel to our struggling hearts.
Take away our guilt and help us look to Jesus,
the One who washes our sin away
and makes us your own.
Hear the cry of our hearts,
in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Our assurance of forgiveness is found in this: “We have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. And the life we live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us”
– based on Galatians 2:20
The Lord’s Supper
Lord, I Need You
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Where sin runs deep your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
