The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany

WELCOME SONG OF PREPARATION Living Waters

Are you thirsty? Are you empty? Come and drink these living waters. Tired and broken, peace unspoken, rest beside these living waters.

Christ is calling, find refreshing at the cross of living waters. Lay your life down, all the old gone, rise up in these living waters.

There’s a river that flows with mercy and love, bringing joy to the city of our God; there our hope is secure, do not fear anymore, praise the Lord of living waters.

Spirit moving, mercy washing; healing in these living waters. Lead your children to the shore line, life is in these living waters.

Are you thirsty? Are you empty? Come and drink these living waters. Love, forgiveness, vast and boundless, Christ, he is our living waters. CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: God’s mercies are new every morning! All: Great is your mercy, O LORD; give us life according to your Word. Leader: I urge you, family, in view of God’s mercy: present your bodies to God, your heart, your voices, your hands! Offer yourself to him, in Christ, as a living and holy sacrifice! All: O LORD, accept our worship. We offer ourselves to you through Jesus Christ our Lord. PRAYER OF INVOCATION

SONGS OF PRAISE And We are Glad

Hallelujah! You are worthy! Hallelujah! You get the highest praise! Hallelujah! You are holy! LORD we exalt your name!

For you have done great things, done great things! For you have done great things, done great things! And we are glad, yes we are glad! And we are glad, yes we are glad!

Everlasting, ever giving, ever faithful, you get the highest praise! Ever loving, ever living, Lord we exalt your name!

By your blood we stand forgiven in your victory over sin and the grave. Death is conquered. He is risen! Lord we exalt your name!

Alpha and Omega

You are Alpha and Omega; we worship you our Lord. You are worthy to be praised. (repeat)

We give you all the glory; we worship you our Lord. You are worthy to be praised. (repeat)

SONG OF RESPONSE Romans 11 (Doxology)

Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable his judgment, how unknowable his paths. Who knows the mind of our God, and who can bring council to him? Who has given to God, that God should repay?

For from him, through him, to him, is everything. To God be the glory forever and ever. To God be the glory forever, amen. BENEDICTION

SERMON Chris Powell

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated on 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 hosts!

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN

Leader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. All: Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

Silent Confession of Sins

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Leader: The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. All: He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. Leader: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. All: God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life in him. Leader: Yes! He has removed our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. 3 6

SONG OF ASSURANCE Jesus Paid it All

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find thy pow’r, and thine alone, can change the leper’s spots and melt the heart of stone.

For nothing good have I whereby thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white in the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And when, before the throne, I stand in him complete, “Jesus died my soul to save,” my lips shall still repeat.

Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead!

PRAYER WE OFFER OUR GIFTS Rescuer

There is good news for the captive, good news for the shamed. There is good news for the one who walked away. There is good news for the doubter, the one religion failed, for the good Lord has come to seek and save.

He's our rescuer, he's our rescuer. We are free from sin forevermore. Oh, how sweet the sound! Oh, how grace abounds! We will praise the Lord, our rescuer.

He is beauty for the blind man, riches for poor. He is friendship for the one the world ignores. He is pasture for the weary, rest for those who strive. Oh, the good Lord is the way, the truth, the life.

So come and be chainless. Come and be fearless. Come to the foot of Calvary. There is redemption for every affliction here at the foot of Calvary. OLD TESTAMENT LESSON Psalm 86:8-13

8 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10 For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. 11 Teach me your way, O Yahweh, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. 12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. 13 For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

NEW TESTAMENT LESSON Ephesians 3:20-4:6

3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

4:1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Leader: Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. All: Give us life, O LORD, according to your Word.
