PRE-SERVICE “Build Your Kingdom Here”

“King of My Heart”

WELCOME & GREETING

OPENING “Build Your Kingdom Here”

Vs. 1 Come set Your rule and reign Vs. 2 We seek Your kingdom first In our hearts again We hunger and we thirst Increase in us we pray Refuse to waste our lives Unveil why we're made For You're our joy and prize Come set our hearts ablaze with hope To see the captives' hearts released Like wildfire in our very souls The hurt the sick the poor at peace Holy Spirit come invade us now We lay down our lives for heaven's cause We are Your church We are Your church We need Your pow'r in us We pray revive this earth

(Chorus) Chorus Build Your kingdom here Let the darkness fear Vs. 3 Unleash Your kingdom's pow'r Show Your mighty hand Reaching the near and far Heal our streets and land No force of hell can stop Set Your church on fire Your beauty changing hearts Win this nation back You made us for much more than this Change the atmosphere Awake the kingdom seed in us Build Your kingdom here we pray Fill us with the strength and love of Christ We are Your church

We are the hope on earth

(Chorus 2x)

THE CONFESSION

People: We confess to you, God, that we have tried to conceal our sins from You. We have tried to fight this spiritual battle by ourselves, without looking to You and Your Son for our tools and our identity. Forgive us for this, and for all other sins that we have committed against Your will. We come to you, to find refuge and mercy.

We have a time of silence to confess those sins to God privately, before going to God as a unified body.

WORDS OF FORGIVENESS

SONG “Reckless Love”

Vs. 1 Before I spoke a word Vs. 2 When I was Your foe You were singing over me still Your love fought for me You have been so so good to me You have been so so good to me Before I took a breath When I felt no worth You breathed Your life in me You paid it all for me You have been so so kind to me You have been so so kind to me

(Chorus) Chorus O the overwhelming never-ending

reckless Love of God Bridge There's no shadow You won't light up O it chases me down fights 'til I'm found Mountain You won't climb up Leaves the ninety-nine Coming after me I couldn't earn it I don't deserve it There's no wall You won't kick down Still You give Yourself away Lie You won't tear down O the overwhelming never-ending Coming after me (Repeat)

reckless Love of God yeah (Chorus)

APOSTLES’ CREED

People: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, Born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen

FIRST READING Isaiah 6:1–8

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE

GOSPEL READING John 3:1–17

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. [Jesus said:] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

BENEDICTION

CLOSING SONG “All My Fountains”

Verse 1 This dry and desert land Verse 2 A flood for my soul I tell myself keep walking on A well that never will run dry Hear something up ahead I've rambled on my own Water falling like a song Never believing I would find An everlasting stream An everlasting stream Your river carries me home Your river carries me home Let it flow let it flow Let it flow let it flow

Chorus Open the heavens (Chorus)

Come living water BRIDGE Come on and rain down on us All my fountains are in You Rain down on us Lord (Repeat 3x)

You're strong like a river Your love is running through (Chorus 2x)

All my fountains are in You All my fountains are in You All my fountains are in You
