CALL TO WORSHIP
| Leader: | Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. |
| |
| People: | God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in our transgressions,
made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved);
|
| |
| Leader: | And raised us up with Him,
and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches
of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
|
| |
| People: | For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
|
| |
| Leader: | For the grace of God has appeared,
bringing salvation to all men.
|
| |
| People: | He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done
in righteousness, but according to His mercy;
|
| |
| Leader: | By the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
|
| |
| All: | So that being justified by grace
we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

IS HE WORTHY?
Andrew Peterson
| Leader: | Do you feel the world is broken? |
| |
| Congregation: | We do. |
| |
| Leader: | Do you feel the shadows deepen? |
| |
| Congregation: | We do. |
| |
| Leader: | But do you know that all the dark
won’t stop the light from getting through? |
| |
| Congregation: | We do. |
| |
| Leader: | Do you wish that you could see it all
made new? |
| |
| Congregation: | We do. |
| |
All: Is all creation groaning? It is.
Is a new creation coming? It is.
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our
midst? It is.
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? It is.
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy? Is He worthy…
of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy of this? He is.
Does the Father truly love us? He does.
Does the Spirit move among us? He does.
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? He does.
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? He does.
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From every people and tribe
Every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is! He is! He Is! He Is!
He is worthy! He is worthy!
Of all blessing and honor and glory!
Is he worthy of this?
He is.
HEBREWS 3:1-13; 4:14-16
English Standard Version
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me, And saw My works for forty years. "Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart; And they did not know My ways'; As I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.'" Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.

EPHESIANS 3:7-13
English Standard Version
Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
