Call to Worship

“See The Light” by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan Arise my soul remember this He took my sin and He buried it

No longer I who live Now Jesus lives in me For I was dead in sin But I woke up to see the light Turn Around

No I won’t boast but in the cross That saved my soul all else is loss

The grip of fear has no hold on me So where O death where is your sting

All all of this for Your glory (x2) All all of this for Your glory (x3) All all of this for Your glory

All all of this for Your glory (x2) All all of this for Your glory All all of this for Your glory

“Come Alive” Come alive come alive come alive dry bones Come alive come alive come alive dry bones Awake arise inhale the light Come alive come alive

I'm gonna sing to you dry bones Until you're covered in life And the valley blooms Like a rosebud in the light

Hear the call to attention Feel the change in the air For the ground is dry But the clouds are overhead I'm gonna sing it again

Are you waiting on Heaven Or is it waiting on you For the Holy Ghost is already in the room

So you better get ready 'Cause who knows what He'll do Where the four winds blow there's a Breakthrough breaking through I'm gonna prophesy again

So leave those shackles in the grave now And dance like you were young You do not have to live in chains now There's a key within your song

So leave the past where it belongs child And take a leap into the Light Find the freedom you were born for And tell that soul to rise

“Highlands (Song Of Ascent)” by Benjamin Hastings and Joel Houston O how high would I climb mountains If the mountains were where You hide O how far I'd scale the valleys If You graced the other side

O how long have I chased rivers From lowly seas to where they rise Against the rush of grace descending From the source of its supply

(Pre-Chorus) 'Cause in the highlands and the heartache You're neither more or less inclined I would search and stop at nothing You're just not that hard to find

Oh (So) I will praise You on the mountain (And) I will praise You When the mountain's in my way You're the summit where my feet are So I will praise You in the valleys all the same No less God within the shadows No less faithful when the night leads me astray ('Cause) You're the heaven where my heart is In the highlands and the heartache all the same

(Interlude) Whoa (whoa)

O how far beneath Your glory Does Your kindness extend the path From where Your feet rest on the sunrise To where You sweep the sinner's past

And O how fast would You come running If just to shadow me through the night Trace my steps through all my failure And walk me out the other side

(Pre-Chorus) For who could dare ascend that mountain That valleyed hill called Calvary But for the One I call Good Shepherd Who like a lamb was slain for me

(Bridge) Whatever I walk through Wherever I am Your Name can move mountains Wherever I stand And if ever I walk through The valley of death I'll sing through the shadows My song of ascent

(TAG) My song of ascent Whoa whoa My song of ascent Whoa whoa

(Pre-Chorus) From the gravest of all valleys Come the pastures we call grace A mighty river flowing upwards From a deep but empty grave

Sermon: “Steadied by the Love of Jesus” Pastor Earl Palmer Text: Ephesians 4:1-16 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life 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 making every effort 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 of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. 7 But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people.”9 (When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) 11 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. 14 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. 15 But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.

Prayers of the People & The Lord’s Prayer

“Mercy” by Andres Figueroa, Brooke Odom, Carlos Pimentel, Colin Dennard,... The kindness of heaven is here in Your presence You move with compassion, you reach out and pull me closer Your river of mercy a stream never-ending The strength of Your love will carry me

Who can stand against My God has strong and open hands That cover me in mercy He covers me in mercy (Your mercy covers me)

Out of the ashes eternity promised Extravagant goodness and patience abundant I’ve been forgiven my failures forgotten The strength of Your love will carry me

Compassion forgiveness The strength in my weakness Devoted sufficient Your love bridged the distance

Oh what kindness in Your presence My salvation

Benediction
