Call to Worship
Sing joyfully to the Lord.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
—based on Psalm 33
Unstoppable God
Heaven thundered
And the world was born
Life begins and ends in the dust you formed
Faith commanded
And the mountains moved
Fear is losing ground to our hope in you
Unstoppable God
Let your glory go on and on
Impossible things
In your name they shall be done
Freedom conquered
All our chains undone
Sin defeated, Jesus has overcome
Mercy triumphed
When the third day dawned
Darkness was denied when the stone was gone
Unstoppable God
Let your glory go on and on
Impossible things
In your name they shall be done
Unstoppable God
Let your glory go on and on
Impossible things
In your name they shall be done
Nothing shall be impossible
Your kingdom reigns unstoppable
We’ll shout your praise forevermore
Jesus, our God, unstoppable
Nothing shall be impossible
Your kingdom reigns unstoppable
We’ll shout your praise forevermore
Jesus, our God, unstoppable
Nothing shall be impossible
Your kingdom reigns unstoppable
We’ll shout your praise forevermore
Jesus, our God, unstoppable
Nothing shall be impossible
Your kingdom reigns unstoppable
We’ll shout your praise forevermore
Jesus, our God, unstoppable
Unstoppable God
Let your glory go on and on
Impossible things
In your name they shall be done
Unstoppable God
Let your glory go on and on
Impossible things
In your name they shall be done

One and Only
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts
Who sang as planets learned their dance
Who poured the oceans from his hands
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us heaven’s best
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Savior, Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone
We will watch the bridegroom come
And heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne
Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours
My Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Gifts — Deliverance
Your love is a flood and I swim deep when the tide is up
Oh, would you flood me too
Saltwater in my blood has made me taste sweet to the world
Oh, and you taste sweet too
This is my deliverance
Hands held high as you deliver it, oh
You have made me a child of God
My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven
I am bread made without the leaven, oh
You have made me a child of God
I lay in the sand with sweet forgiveness in my hand
Oh, as a gift from you
Your love floods my brain, this gray cranium won’t be the same
No, where I’ve been won’t do
This is my deliverance
Hands held high as you deliver it, oh
You have made me a child of God
My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven
I am bread made without the leaven, oh
You have made me a child of God
You have made me a child of God
You have made me a child of God
And I won’t go
’Til I know
That you have sown all you have in me, yeah
This is my deliverance
Hands held high as you deliver it, oh
You have made me a child of God
My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven,
I am bread made without the leaven, oh
You have made me a child of God
You have made me a child of God
You have made me a child of God, oh
You have made me a child of God

King of My Heart
Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, he is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, he is my song
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh, he is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, he is my song
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
You are good, good, oh, oh
You’re never gonna let
Never gonna let me down

Sermon
“The Curious Gift”
Romans 14:12-23
Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess our sins before you now.
Forgive us for allowing the good things in our lives
to become ultimate things;
for our indifference towards our relationship with you;
for letting things other than our union with Christ
in his death and resurrection define us;
for losing sight of the fact that
we are your sons and daughters.
We are thankful that you invite us to confess our sins
with the knowledge that
you do not deal with us according to our iniquities,
nor reward us according to our transgressions;
that your lovingkindness knows no limits;
that your compassion toward those who trust in you is great;
that you are the One who removes all our flaws and failures
as far as the east is from the west.
All this is ours in Christ and we thank you.
Through him, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
— Romans 8:1 & 2
