Confession of Faith

A 21st Century Creed

In an age of anxiety, we believe that peace comes from Jesus Christ, the Son

of God.

In an age of confusion, we believe that the Bible is

the Word of God, inerrant and infallible.

In an age of doubt, we believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the

virgin Mary.

In an age of guilt, we believe that Jesus died on the cross to remove the power of sin and Satan

from our lives.

In an age of reason, we believe that God is at

work in the sacraments of Baptism and Communion.

In an age of constant change, we believe in the

unchanging Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy

Spirit.

Offering

I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise

your name, O LORD, for it is good.

My Own Little WorldWritten by Matthew West

In my own little world it hardly ever rains

I’ve never gone hungry, always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket

shoes on my feetIn my own little world

population me

I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church

I throw a twenty in the plate

but I never give ’til it hurts

And I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see

It is easy to do when it’spopulation me

What if there’s a bigger pictureWhat if I’m missing out

What if there’s a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Outside my own little world

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window

I saw a cardboard sign said “Help this homeless

widow”

Just above that sign was the face of a human

I thought to myself, “God, what have I been

doing?”

So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye

Oh how many times have I just passed her by

I gave her some money then I drove on throughAnd my own little world reached population two

What if there’s a bigger pictureWhat if I’m missing out

What if there’s a greater purpose

I could be living right now

Outside my own little world

Outside my own little worldMy own little world…

Oh O Ohhhhh, Oh O Ohhhhh

Oh O Ohhhhhhhhh

Father break my heart for what breaks Yours

Give me open hands and open doors

Put Your light in my eyes and let me see

That my own little world is not about me

What if there’s a bigger pictureWhat if I’m missing out

What if there’s a greater purpose

That I could be living right now

I don’t wanna miss what matters

I wanna be reaching outShow me the greater purposeSo I can start living right now.

Outside my own little world,

My own little world – yeah My own little world - …

Romans 8:28,29

All things for the good?Really? Really!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Really?

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Romans 8:29

Really!

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory,

are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:17,18

In the LightWritten by DC Talk

I keep trying to find a life On my own, apart from you

I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish

thing I do

What's going on inside of me?

I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm

my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of

a savior

I wanna be in the light As you are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens

Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation

Cause all I want is to be in the light

All I want is to be in the light

The disease of self runs through my blood

It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf

has failed To bring this sickness under

control

What's going on inside of me?

I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm

my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of

a savior

I wanna be in the light As you are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens

Oh, lord be my light and be my salvation

Cause all I want is to be in the light

All I want is to be in the light

There is no other placeThat I’d rather beNo other place

that’s right for meThan in your light

In your light

There is no other placeThat I’d rather beNo other place

that’s right for meThan in your light

In your light

Than in your light…In your light
