worship as communal exchange
called to come in
God comes near and calls his people out of the world, and takes hold of us and brings us into the community of Himself.SONG: This is the Day
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
There’s reason to sing today
There’s reason to thank You for my life
This world is a broken place
But I know You have made me for this time
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Your hand is in everything
Your kingdom is tearing kingdoms down
Your power is conquering
Your mercy is healing even now
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
All things by You
All things for You alone
All things in You
All things bow at Your throne
All things by You
All things for You alone
All things in You
All things bow at Your throne
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
we hear | Matthew 18:20
(leader) Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!
(all) We incline our ear. We come, that our souls may live!
SONG: What the Lord Has Done in Me
Let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Let the blind say I can see
It’s what the Lord has done in me
Hosanna Hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna Hosanna
Jesus died and rose again
Into the river I will wade
There my sins are washed away
From the heavens mercy streams
Of the Savior’s love for me
I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of God
I will sing salvation songs
Jesus Christ has set me free
Isaiah 44:1-8
“But now hear, O Jacob my servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!
Thus says the LORD who made you,
who formed you from the womb and will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
They shall spring up among the grass
like willows by flowing streams.
This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s,’
another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’
and name himself by the name of Israel.”
confessing our sin
God the Spirit reminds us that God the Father has saved us through the righteous life and sacrificial death of Christ the Son – and in faith we rest on his gracious interest to renew us yet again.we here | Heidelberg Catechism, 1562
(leader) Q1: What is your only comfort in life and in death?
(all) That I, body and soul, both in life and in death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, who with precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins.
(leader) Q2: How many things are necessary for you to know, that you, enjoying this comfort, may live and die happily?
(all) Three; the first, how great my sins and miseries are; the second, how I may be delivered from all my sins and miseries; the third, how I shall express my gratitude to God for such deliverance.
we confess | Romans 7:18-25 and Psalm 51:10-12
O merciful God,
I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Because of Christ, create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right Spirit within me.
Because of Christ, cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Because of Christ, restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing Spirit.
Amen.
we rest | SONG: All Who Are Thirsty
All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of his mercy
As deep cries out to deep (we sing)
Come Lord Jesus come
Holy Spirit come
As deep cries out to deep
Come Lord Jesus come
declaration | 1 John 1:9
(leader) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness!
consecrated by the Word

we respond | SONG: Enough
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
Your’e my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You
And all I have in You
And all I have in You
Is more than enough
SONG: The Solid Rock
My Hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground in sinking sand
All other ground in sinking sand
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground in sinking sand
All other ground in sinking sand
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground in sinking sand
All other ground in sinking sand
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground in sinking sand
All other ground in sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground in sinking sand
All other ground in sinking sand
compelled to go out
God blesses us and charges us go out and extend his kingdom into the broken world around us, making disciples of all nations
