Call to Worship
Adapted from 2 Corinthians 4:6-7, 13-15
God has shone his glory in the face of Jesus Christ, and He has put this glory in our very hearts! We are fragile clay jars containing a priceless treasure: a glory that comes from God, not from ourselves. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great rejoicing and thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory!
- Psalm 24 (The King of Glory) by Ed Cash, Keith Getty, and Kristyn Getty
- Glory Awaits by Bob Kauflin and Jon Underhill
Confession and
Assurance of Pardon
Based on Deuteronomy 30:2-20 and Romans 10:3-13
Heavenly Father, we confess that we often falter in our faith, seeking security in earthly measures and forgetting to fully depend on You. May we release our grasp on the false security of our own knowledge and efforts, and instead embrace Your profound grace. You promised to have mercy on us, and to gather us back to yourself when we stray. May our hearts be free from the burden of self-reliance, as we place our trust entirely in your loving arms. When we doubt it, Lord, remind us that YOU are in control. YOU are the one who gives faith, changes hearts, and makes all things new. Strengthen our faith, oh Lord, that we may depend wholly on YOU! Father, we know that your favor is not found in perfect knowing or in perfect living. Christ Jesus has come to us, He has already known and lived all things perfectly. We proclaim that Jesus is Lord and believe that He was raised from the dead. Everyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.
- Goodness of God by Ed Cash and Jenn Johnson

Benediction
- Come To Me by Elizabeth Akers, Jeff Capps, Michael Bleecker, and Hunter Pecunia
- In Christ Alone by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
From Revelation 4:8-11 (NLT)
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come. For You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”
