A Litany of the Community of Christ
I believe that the Son of God, through his Spirit and Word,
out of the entire human race, from the beginning of the world to its end,
gathers, protects, and preserves for himself a community chosen
for eternal life and united in true faith.
And of this community I am and always will be a living member.

—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 54

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,
in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people;
Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

People of God, all of us together have received God’s mercy in Christ.
In Christ we are forgiven, redeemed, and made to be a community united in faith.

Thanks be to God.

—based on 1 Peter 2:9-10, NRSV

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise

These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

To the valley for my soul
Thy great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever
(repeat)

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“The Community that Upholds Us”
2 Timothy 1:15-18

Prayer of Confession
Loving God, be merciful and cast our sins into the depths of the sea.
Forgive our indifference to you and one another.
Shape us into a renewed Community that reflects the love and friendship
that you enjoy within your own Being, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Cause our love for one another to draw the lonely,
the discarded and the broken, to you.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

What the Lord Has Done in Me
Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

Let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Let the blind say I can see
It’s what the Lord has done in me

Into the river I will wade
There my sins are washed away
From the heaven’s mercy stream
Of the Savior’s love for me

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of God
I will sing salvation songs
Jesus Christ has set me free

Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again

The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Come Thou Fount
Come, thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I’m come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandr’ing from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

O that day, when freed from sinning
I shall see thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing thy sovereign grace

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send thine angels, now to carry
Me to realms of endless day

Affirmation of Faith
For you did not receive a spirit
that makes you a slave again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of sonship.

And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs –
heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings
in order that we may also share in his glory.

—Romans 8:15-17

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man

Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown

Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host

Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of Man

Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Sermon
“The Spirit Who Guards Us”
2 Timothy 1:12-14

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God and Loving Father,
We come with empty hands, weak and needy.
Our sins are ever before us.
Forgive and cleanse us in the living water,
That flows from our Savior.
Make us a gracious presence,
And compassionate people.
Bless our community and love our world,
Through us and in spite of us,
As you make Jesus known
To those who share our brokenness
In this fallen world you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Jesus, lover of my soul
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters roll
While the tempest still is high

Hide me, O my Savior, hide
‘Til life’s storm is past
Safe into the haven guide
Receive my soul at last

Other refuge have I none
I, helpless, hang on thee
Leave, O leave me not alone
Support and comfort me

All my trust on thee is stayed
All help from thee I bring
Cover my defenseless head
In the shadow of thy wing

Thou, O Christ, are all I want
Here more than all I find
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint
Heal the sick, and lead the blind

Just and holy is thy name
I am all unrighteousness
False and full of sin I am
Thou art full of truth and grace

Plenteous grace with thee is found
Grace to cover all my sin
Let the healing streams abound
Make and keep me pure within

Thou of life the fountain art
Let me take of thee
Spring thou up within my heart
For all eternity

Jesus, lover of my soul
Let me to thy bosom fly

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting
O, hell, where is your victory
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

An Affirmation of Faith
What do you believe about the work of Jesus Christ?

We believe that Jesus Christ presented himself
in our name before his Father,
to appease his wrath with full satisfaction
by offering himself on the tree of the cross
and pouring out his precious blood
for the cleansing of our sins.

Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven
To his feet your tribute bring
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Evermore his praises sing
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King

Father-like he tends and spares us
Well our feeble frame he knows
In his hands he gently bears us
Rescues us from all our foes
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows

Frail as summer’s flower we flourish
Blows the wind and it is gone
But while mortals rise and perish
Our God lives unchanging on
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the high Eternal One

Angels, help us to adore him
Ye behold him face to face
Sun and moon, bow down before him
Dwellers all in time and space
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace

O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace

Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace

He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me

He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive

Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name

Baptism {10:30 a.m.}
Aaron Yae Chan Park will be baptized upon his profession of faith.

An Affirmation of Faith
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy set before him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men,

so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Compelled by grace to cast my lot

Forsaking all for your own fame

Sustained am I, redeemed, restored

When I am plagued by unbelief
You place my hands into your side
By precious blood identified
By precious blood identified

I cast them down before the throne

No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow

No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

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

Loving Father,
be merciful and forgive our sin.
Cleanse our unrighteousness.
Heal our hurts, and reconcile our broken relationships.
Pour your Spirit upon us with renewing grace
and restore to us the ‘joy of our salvation.’
Forgive our excessiveness and ingratitude.
Make us a thankful people with charitable hearts,

that this broken world will taste
the new wine of the gospel.
Through Jesus. Amen.

Arise, My Soul, Arise

My name is written on his hands

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise

Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood to plead

His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Five bleeding wounds he bears
Received on Calvary
They pour effectual prayers
They strongly plead for me

“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die”

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

My God is reconciled
His pardoning voice I hear
He owns me for his child
I can no longer fear

With confidence I now draw nigh
With confidence I now draw nigh
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

A Confession of Jesus Christ
This Lord, our God, the Word of God, the Word made flesh,
The Son of the Father, the Son of God, the Son of man,
Exalted that He might create us,
Humbled that He might recreate us.
Walked among men and suffering what is human.
Let every sigh be a panting after Christ,
Let that most beautiful One,
Who loved even the ugly that He might make them beautiful,
Let Him be longed for.
Hurry to Him alone.

—A Prayer from Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD)

Ten Thousand Reasons
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing your song again

Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

You’re rich in love
And you’re slow to anger
Your name is great
And your heart is kind

For all your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come

Still my soul will sing
Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

Sermon
“The Good Steward”
John 2:1-12

The Lord’s Supper

When I Survey
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain, I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood

See, from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

To Christ, who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore

Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.

Therefore, I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.

—based on Ephesians 1 and Psalm 34

Prayer of Confession
Holy and Merciful Father,
forgive and cleanse us from our sin.
Restore, heal and renew.
Fill us with passion to honor you
in all we do and have been called to,
and in every area of our lives.
Give us courage we don’t possess,
to love where you love,
to serve where Christ would serve,
and to forgive as you have forgiven.
Declare your greatness and glory
through us, and in spite of our weakness,
to this world you created to be good,
Until Jesus makes all things new. Amen.

I Sing the Mighty Power of God
I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies

I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day
The moon shines full at his command
And all the stars obey

I sing the goodness of the Lord
Who filled the earth with food
Who formed the creatures with his Word
And then pronounced them good

Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
Where’er I turn my eye
If I survey the ground I tread
Or gaze upon the sky

There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes thy glories known
And clouds arise, and tempests blow
By order from thy throne

While all that borrows life from thee
Is ever in thy care
And everywhere that man can be
Thou, God art present there

Isaac Watts, altered Tune, ELLACOMBE, from Gesangbuch der Herzogl, Württemberg, 1784

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me

More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love

Sermon
“Outside the Gate Christians, Part 2”
Acts 16:11-15

The Lord’s Supper

Come Boldly to The Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done

How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk

Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same

He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free

Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan

Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in

Almighty God and Gracious Father,
Surely you are “the God of gods, and

Rather than as sons and daughters.
And pardon our rebellion and disobedience.
Strengthen our faith and help us in our unbelief.

Be glorified in our lives, in what we do,
Where we live, love, play and work.
Cause your Name to be great,
Through our broken expressions of praise,
Until Jesus Comes.  Amen.

The company of angels
Are praising thee on high
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply

With palms before thee went

Accept the prayers we bring

The Lord’s Supper

How Deep the Father’s Love
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold a man upon a cross
My sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side

The Lord our God has met our every need,

therefore, we will proclaim the love of the Lord!

—based on Psalm 107

Prayer of Confession
Dear Father, forgive our sins.
Forgive our impure actions, thoughts and motives.
Where we have lived for self, forgive us.
Where we have not loved you as you have loved us, forgive us.
Where we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves, forgive us.
We come in Jesus’ Name, our Redeemer, Lord and Friend.
Wash us in your grace, mercy and peace.
Fill us with yourself that we may live for you.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Earth Is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking

The waters see you
And start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising

Now it’s rising from the ground…

Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours

Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling

Creation sees you
And starts composing
The fields and trees, they start rejoicing

Now it’s rising from the ground
Now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out…

Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
The earth is yours

Great are you, Lord, mighty in strength
You are faithful and you will ever be

Confession of Faith
In the light of divine grace, we recognize ourselves to be a Church of sinners.

We require forgiveness daily, and live only through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  He redeems us from our isolation and unites us into a living Church of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

—from the Moravians: The Belief of the Church – ‘The Ground of the Unity’ of the Unitas Fratum in 1957

Praise To The Lord The Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee

Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him
(repeat)

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sermon
“Our Shared Brokenness”
Jeremiah 29:1-7

The Lord’s Supper

The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
