Prayer Of Adoration
Songs Of Praise & Worship
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul, praise Him
For He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear
Now to His temple draw near
Join me in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord who oer all things
So wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings
Yes, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen
How all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth
Praise to the Lord who doth
Prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee

Praise to the Lord

O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again
Gladly for aye we adore Him
God of Wonders
Lord of all creation
Of water, earth and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
chorus
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night.
(repeat chorus)
Hallelujah
To the Lord of heaven and earth
(repeat 3x)
(repeat chorus)

God Graciously
Renews Us In

Call To Repentance &
Renewal
~ Psalm 145:8-9 & Romans 2:4 ~

merciful, slow to anger and abounding in
steadfast love. The Lord is good to all,
and His mercy is over all that He has
made.

The Words Of The Gospel

~ Psalm 103:10-12 ~
Leader: He does not deal with us
according to our sins, nor repay us
according to our iniquities. For as high as
the heavens are above the earth, so great
is His stead-fast love toward those who
fear Him; as far as the east is from the
west, so far does He remove our
transgressions from us.

Song Of Response
Isnt He Good
Your goodness
Found us in the darkness
Rescued us and freed us
Cleansed us from within
You saved us
Freely You forgave us
Counted us as righteous
And heirs with Your own Son
chorus
Isn't He good, isn't He kind
Hasn't He blessed us, time after time
Isn't He good, all of our days
With endless mercies
And ceaseless grace
Oh, let us sing: He is good
Your mercies
Meet us with the daybreak
And every breath that we take
Points us to Your grace
Your power
Keeps us till the hour
Every knee will bow and
Worship Christ alone

God Receives
Our Offerings

Leader: Let us pray.

Unison: 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 debts as we also have
forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.

God Feeds Us His

Covenant Meal

For the kingdom, the power, and the

glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Sing to the King
Sing to the King
Who is coming to reign
Glory to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain
Life and salvation
His empire shall bring
And joy to the nations
When Jesus is King
chorus
Come, let us sing a song
A song declaring
That we belong to Jesus
He is all we need
Lift up a heart of praise
Sing now with voices raised to Jesus
Sing to the King

We will be ready the dawn of that day
We'll join in singing
With all the redeemed
'Cause Satan is vanquished
And Jesus is King
(repeat chorus)

God Gives Us
His Words
Of Eternal Life

You were broken that I might be healed

You were cast off that I might draw near
You were thirsty that I might come drink
Cried out in anguish that I might sing
chorus
How deep is Your love
How high and how wide is Your mercy
How deep is Your grace
Our hearts overflow with praise
To You

You knew darkness

That I might know light
Wept great tears that mine might be dried
Stripped of glory that I might be clothed
Crushed by Your Father
To call me Your own
Agnus Dei
Alleluia, alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia, alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia

The Prayers Of The People
For The Church & City

Pastor John Ferguson

The Enemy Within

Romans 7:15-25

Who has the power to raise the dead

Who holds the keys that set us free
He paid it all to bring us peace
Jesus, only Jesus

Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before
Jesus, only Jesus
Who can command the highest praise
Who has the name above all names
You stand alone; I stand amazed
Jesus, only Jesus

bridge
You will command the highest praise
Yours is the Name above all names
You stand alone; I stand amazed
Jesus, only Jesus

Our Confession Of Faith

~ Philippians 2:5-11 ~
Leader: Let us confess our faith
together
Unison: We believe in our hearts and
confess with our lips that Christ Jesus,
being in very nature God did not
consider equality with God something to
be grasped but made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant, being
made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a
man, He humbled Himself and became
obedient to death even death on a
cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the
highest place and gave Him the name that
is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven
and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

God Sends Us
Into The World
With His Blessing

The Benediction

Announcements

~ Hebrews 13:20-21 ~
Leader: Now may the God of peace
who brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the
sheep, by the blood of the eternal
covenant, equip you with everything
good that you may do His will, working
in us that which is pleasing in His sight,
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory
forever and ever.

The season of Lent (spring) is a time set aside by Christians everywhere to prepare
for the celebration of Easter. Lent covers the six Sundays leading up to Easter and it
is usually a time for deeper reflection on why Jesus came to die for our sins. Lent
kicked off on Ash Wednesday (February 10th), and February 14th was the first
Sunday of Lent.
During our Sunday mornings together, we will be going through a series of studies
called, Licensed to Kill, which is a look at on what it means to live more
intentionally for Christ by actively putting sin to death in our lives. On Sunday
evenings, well join together from 6-7pm for a DVD series & discussion based on
the book, Gods at War: Defeating the Idols that Battle for Your Heart by Kyle
Idleman. Childcare is available.
