Song 1 – Turn Your Eyes

Hear God call you to worship as we call each other to worship Him, with the following words adapted from Lamentations 3:

Your steadfast love, Lord, never ceases,
Your mercies never come to an end;

They are new every morning, so let us proclaim:
Great is Your faithfulness.  
Great is Your love; great is Your mercy.  
And greatly is Your name to be praised!

Let us worship the Lord!

Song 2 – Great is Thy Faithfulness

Song 3 – Bless the Lord, O My Soul (10,000 Reasons)

Song 4 – Lord of Lords

Our welcome team members will pass an offering basket during this song.

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.

Praise God for all that he has done
Praise him for he has overcome
The grave is beaten, love has won
Praise God our Saviour, Christ the Son

Amen

We lift our voices now in a prayer of confession, knowing that we fail to live pure and holy lives, knowing that our hearts are marred by sin, but also knowing that our lovingkind God is able and willing to forgive us when we confess our sins.

Confession of Sin
O Lord,
you have mercy upon all –
take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me
the fire of your Holy Spirit.

Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh:
a heart to love you and adore you;
a heart to delight in you;
a heart to follow you, and to enjoy you.

For Christ’s sake and in his name,
Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Hear and receive this assurance of pardon from Philippians 1:6

“I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Let us pray.

Walking in the Truth Through Hospitality
– 3 John 5-8

1. Gaius’ love for the church is found in his effort and faithfulness

2. Gaius sending off others in a manner worthy of God

3. Gaius being a fellow worker for the truth by his support

4. Practical ways we can prepare ourselves to walk in the truth:
   I Be hospitable
   II Block out intentional time
   III Take the first step in the effort

Song 5 – Let Us Be Known

Song 6 – O Church Arise

Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. 
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
