  • FOREVER NOW A CROWN

    Call to Worship: 10th Presbyterian Church Call to Worship

  • CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY

  • LAMB OF GOD

    Let’s confess what we celebrate as followers of Jesus. I will read the parts marked ‘Leader,’ together we’ll read the parts marked ‘All’:

    LEADER: Alleluia! Christ is risen.


    ALL: He is risen indeed. Alleluia!


    LEADER: Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    ALL: He has given us new life and hope.
 He has raised Jesus from the dead.


    LEADER: God has claimed us as his own.


    ALL: He has brought us out of darkness.
 He has made us light to the world.


    LEADER: Alleluia! Christ is risen.

    ALL: He is risen indeed. Alleluia! 


    —based on 1 Peter 1:3-5, the Worship Sourcebook

    Sermon: Hebrews 2:14-18

    If God in Christ had never stepped down from heaven, laying aside his glory, taken on his flesh and blood, lived the perfect life, died the death we deserve, become our sin, if none of those things had ever happened, God would still be worthy of our worship, adoration, and obedience. How much more, as followers of Jesus should we respond with worship, adoration, and obedience in light of the propitiation of Christ? We’re going to respond now as we sing about how Jesus is, what He has done, and who He has called us to be. Would you stand if you’re able…

  • THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE BLOOD

  • NO BODY

    Benediction

  • BEFORE THE THRONE

    Call to Worship: Psalm 24

    Let there be no mistake, we gather to lift our eyes to the King of Glory. The One who made and sustains all things, who has pursued us with His goodness and mercy. Let’s sing together:

  • GOODNESS OF GOD

  • IN CHRIST ALONE

    Sermon: Joshua 5:13-6:27

    If we were honest, each of us desire to be our own king. And more than that, each of use desire all of the benefits of living in God’s kingdom while remaining king of our own lives. We want God’s justice enacted on those who have wronged us. We want to receive God’s goodness, kindness, grace, love, mercy and forgiveness, but we don’t want Jesus to be our King. Because if Jesus is king it means that you are not. Jesus is a king who disrobes himself of glory and majesty, steps into our world to pursue treasonous and rebellious sinners like you and me. Jesus is king and that is good news for you and me. Let’s sing:

  • GOD WITH US

  • REVIVE US AGAIN

15 December: O Rex Gentium (O King of Nations)

in

O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum:

veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti

O King of the nations, and their desire, the cornerstone making both one:

Come and save the human race, which you fashioned from clay.

We live in nations plagued by sin.  Even our most gifted and moral leaders are but clay.  Every kingdom will ultimately fall before the eternal King and His kingdom without end.  'The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice…’ - Psalm 97:1

For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

    and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6

He shall judge between the nations,

    and shall decide disputes for many peoples;

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

    and their spears into pruning hooks;

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

    neither shall they learn war anymore. - Isaiah 2:4

But now, O Lord, you are our Father;

    we are the clay, and you are our potter;

    we are all the work of your hand. - Isaiah 64:8

May his name endure forever,
his fame continue as long as the sun. 

May all nations be blessed in him. 

May Jesus Christ be praised! 

—based on Psalm 72, NRSV
