Call to Worship

from Psalm 118 (ESV)

LEADER: Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say,

PEOPLE: “His steadfast love endures forever.” Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 

LEADER: This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.

PEOPLE: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 

LEADER: This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success!

PEOPLE: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. 

LEADER: Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you.

PEOPLE: Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Songs and Liturgy

(sing as a group and/or sing along to recorded versions)

MAN OF SORROWS
(Brooke Ligertwood, Matt Crocker)

Man of sorrows, Lamb of God
By His own betrayed,
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid.

Silent as He stood accused,
Beaten, mocked and scorned.
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns.

CHORUS:
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation,
Where Your love poured out over me.
Now my soul cries out hallelujah!
Praise and honor unto Thee.

Sent of heaven God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem.
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree.
(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
Now my debt is paid,
It is paid in full.
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled.
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me,
Whom the Son sets free,
Oh is free indeed.
(CHORUS)

See the stone is rolled away,
Behold the empty tomb.
Hallelujah God be praised!
He’s risen from the grave!
(CHORUS)

RESPONSIVE READING: John 12:12-15 & Luke 19:39-40

LEADER: On the next day, the great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet Him, and began to cry out,

PEOPLE: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.”

LEADER: And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

PEOPLE: “Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”

LEADER: And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” And He answered and said.

PEOPLE: “I tell you if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”

I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER
(Steve Cook, Vicki Cook)

I will glory in my Redeemer,
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me.
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails,
And hung Him on that judgment tree.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who crushed the power of sin and death.
My only Savior before the holy Judge:
The Lamb Who is my righteousness,
The Lamb Who is my righteousness.

I will glory in my Redeemer.
My life He bought, my love He owns.
I have no longings for another,
I’m satisfied in Him alone.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
His faithfulness my standing place.
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me,
My feet are firm held by His grace,
My feet are firm held by His grace.

I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who carries me on eagle’s wings.
He crowns my life with loving kindness,
His triumph song I’ll ever sing.
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who waits for me at gates of gold.
And when He calls me it will be paradise,
His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.

John 2:1-11 (ESV)

¹ On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ² Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. ³ When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” ⁴ And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” ⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

⁶ Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. ⁷ Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸ And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. ⁹ When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom ¹⁰ and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” ¹¹ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

Confession of Faith

1 John 4:9-11

LEADER: By this the love of God was manifested among us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.

CONGREGATION: In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

LEADER: Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Song of Response

HIS MERCY IS MORE
(Matt Papa, Matt Boswell)

What love could remember no wrongs we have done?
Omniscient, all knowing, he counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore.
Our sins, they are many, his mercy is more.

What patience would wait as we constantly roam?
What father, so tender, is calling us home?
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.
Our sins they are many, his mercy is more.

CHORUS:
Praise the Lord,
His mercy is more.
Stronger than darkness, new every morn.
Our sins they are many, his mercy is more.

What riches of kindness he lavished on us.
His blood was the payment, his life was the cost.
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford.
Our sins, they are many, his mercy is more.
(CHORUS)

Benediction

(The leader or individual should read this aloud relishing in the confident assertion that Christ has conquered.)

Luke 12:29-32

LEADER: Do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

PEOPLE: Amen!
